In August 1979, listeners to the "Dave Fanning Show" were invited to choose the "A" side to U2's first single. For a week, Dave Fanning played three tracks: "Out of Control", "Stories for Boys" and "Boy/Girl". Listeners voted for "Out of Control".

30 years after this release, RTÉ Libraries and Archives presents 30 moments from the band's career as covered by RTÉ. Included here are U2's first television appearance, interviews with the band members and a surprise appearance at a Dublin record store. You can also watch Bono meeting fans in Boston and listen to an interview with Bono from the "Dave Fanning Show" broadcast that launched "U2 3".
