Live at Red Rocks [Remastered]

A suburb concert by a phenominal band. This is U2 walking through the threshold of greatness! A must have for a U2 fan.

I first watched this concert when it aired on USA network on a show called Night Flight, must've been 1984 or 1985, and I was just blown away by it; hard to believe that was nearly 20 years ago! They look like a young, relatively unknown, hard working band in this video. Taped outdoors in bad weather, the cold rain and fog have a dramatic affect on the performance, and the music stands out. My favorites from the set are Surrender, A Day Without Me, October and Party Girl. Overall, great live concert footage. Also, if you can find them, U2 played the US Festival the same year this was taped, and the Amneisty International Concert ('86? '87?) was a riveting performance.

This show dates from 1983, and was filmed at Red Rocks in the USA - a natural amphitheatre that provided a memorable backdrop for this, U2's first concert film. The best feature of the performance is the very strong connection U2 evidently makes with its audience. You can feel the energy and intensity in the band's playing, and the strident tone of their War album tracks like New Year's Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday is complemented by effective older tracks like I Will Follow, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock and The Electric Co. This music really did lift U2 to the top of the rock music world , and deservedly so. No one else in 1983 was making such strong guitar-based rock music, and U2 here were still young, charismatic, improving and developing an expanding fanbase. Highly Recommended.

Are you someone who would like to see some of U2's earlier concert work? Well here it is. You get moment after moment of Rock and Roll the way it was meant to be played... Live and Loud. This one was filmed at the famed Red Rocks, a sort of outdoor Arena.
What I admire most about this U2 concert, is their dedication to excellence. While fans wear jackets and coats, U2 performs in the freezing cold. Steam is clearly seen coming off their sweating bodies and from Bono's lips as he sings song after song.
Inspiring music, moving music with a beautiful Heavenly sound, and good hard hitting Rock-n-Roll, is the best way to describe what is on this video. Please note that this concert is from 1983. 12 songs are performed, including the mega hits Sunday Bloody Sunday(of which the clip was used on MTV back in the 80's), New Year's Day, and Gloria.
If you like unflinching Rock And Roll at its best, you can't do without this video. I own it, and it was WELL worth what I paid for it. Any music that brings a glorious tear to my eyes is worth what I pay for it.
