The Boomtown Rats were founded in Ireland in 1975. They moved to London in 1976 and came to the forefront of New Wave music. Their debut single, “Looking After No.1,” reached No.11 on the UK singles chart and began a sequence of 10 Top 40 UK hits, including their two No.1’s “Rat Trap” and “I Don’t Like Mondays.”

This show was filmed at London’s Hammersmith Odeon in the summer of 1978. It includes the hit singles “Looking After No.1,” “She’s So Modern,” “Like Clockwork” and “Rat Trap,” which later that year would become the first New Wave No.1 hit, along with other Rats favorites such as “(I Never Loved) Eva Braun” and “Joey’s On The Streets Again.” Also included is the audience participation number “Do The Rat,” which was a popular feature of early Rats gigs.
