Most of the time you have no idea that this little moment in an uneventful gig or meeting will be looked back on 20 years later as historic.

At least that's the way I understood it.

The U2 by U2 version totally contradicts the U2 Show version. :) Hi Bjorn — if you read through ppg. 54-56 of U2 by U2, he’s clearly talking about AFTER the gig on May 25.

He met them, they talked, he spoke to other people trying to find out more about U2s background etc. It took time. Then he finally saw them play live and they signed the contract after this live gig - the first McGuinness saw. So that would put the two stories together. best b.- Hi Matt,
