“Fire” was the first single from U2’s 1981 album, October.
“Fire” was recorded at a studio in the Bahamas while U2 took a break from the Boy Tour in April 1981, and it debuted live the next month on 27 May 1981. It was the second of two October songs played on the Boy Tour, the first being “I Fall Down.” “Fire” was a setlist regular for much of the October Tour, although it was not played at any of the tour’s shows where U2 acted as support for the J. Geils Band. It then appeared on the War Tour’s “Pre-Tour”, and its final live performance was at the first proper date of the War Tour on 26 February 1983. Most of its live appearances were in the encore, often as the first encore song. “Fire” was also the song U2 played for their first appearance on Top of the Pops. After its initial release, “Fire” was U2’s first song to chart in the UK, where it managed to break the top 40, peaking at #35. This chart position would not be surpassed until 1983’s “New Year’s Day.”
