Bono and the Edge--fantastic,
By
This review is from: Live at Red Rocks [Remastered] (DVD)
This a wonderful concert from 1983, performed live at Red Rocks, a natural amphitheatre in the mountains in Colorado. The event was close to being canceled because of cold and rain, but the band was intent to play--and so well they did. Bono's powerful vocals and the Edge's superb guitar work make this 17-song concert a joy to watch and listen to. "Gloria" and "11 O'clock Tick Tock" are just plain good old-fashioned loud perfect rock. There is a minimum of chat (this was before Bono's political days). The sound and picture quality is excellent. Since this is my first U2 live DVD, I can't say how it compares to future concerts, but I'm sure glad I have it. You will be too.

Fantastic! A must-have for any U2 fan.,
By Red Rocks Fan (Blue Mountains, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live at Red Rocks [Remastered] (DVD)
Like many other U2 fans I've been waiting a long time for this DVD to be released. I've had copies of the original release recorded on Beta, Video 8 and I just bought an unopened VHS copy this year.The DVD blows all that away. With the audio remastered to 5.1 and the video cleaned up, this is a whole new way to see the concert that propelled U2 to international fame. If you are not as familiar with the early U2 material as their more recent work, spend the $17 and be ready for a real treat. Keep in mind that they were in their early 20's at the time. It's been just over 25 years since the concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado on June 5, 1983. Try a Google search for "U2 Live at Red Rocks 25 Years" to find out more information on the concert including little known facts and memories of those who were there. The 'Live At Red Rocks' tracklisting is: 'Out Of Control' 'Twilight' 'An Cat Dubh' 'Into The Heart' 'Surrender' 'Two Hearts Beat As One' 'Seconds' 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' 'Cry' 'The Electric Co' 'October' 'New Year's Day' 'I Threw A Brick Through A Window' 'A Day Without Me' 'Gloria' 'Party Girl' '11 O'Clock Tick Tock' 'I Will Follow' '40'

The Reason I Love U2,
By
This review is from: U2 1983 Under a Blood Red Sky (DVD)
To start, I have not seen this DVD (as it is not yet released). I will however purchase it the minute it is available. I already own the DVD's U2 Vertigo Live from Chicago, U2 Go Home Live from Slane Castle Ireland, Elevation 2001 U2 Live from Boston. As well I have U2 Popmart Live from Mexico City and U2 Zoo TV Live from Sydney on VHS (need to get the DVD's for these as well).However, I have been anticipating this release on DVD for years. The only copy I had was a VHS copy of a television broadcast from many moons ago. The atmosphere of this concert, which took place in Red Rocks in Denver, Colorado was electric despite the dismal weather. This was a time in their career that, like REM, I still thought I might get to see them perform at my university campus (Memorial University, Newfoundland). How wrong I was when within a year or two they exploded as major rock icons. This video was the clincher for me as to who would be the most influential band of my life. The sound is RAW and the video is not the greatest in quality (though I am interested in seeing the DVD version). But it is not about those things but rather the essence of the band that unlike the multitude of other offerings on DVD is so pure and true. I always thought that Bono was full of himself based on this video but the man was a great singer. The Edge played the guitar not necessarily with great skill but with an EDGE. And if that wasn't enough he sang their most underrated song, "Seconds", to perfection (IMHO). Adam Clayton looked like he flew out of a Flock of Seagulls with his bleach blond hair. Larry Mullen Jr. looked more like a little boy than he does today (and that is saying something). I hope the DVD transfer lives up to my expectations but I'm sure I'll love the performance as I did the first time I saw it 25 years ago. (Crap!! Was it really that long ago.) Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. I thank U2 as well for introducing me to Clannad (that haunting opening song played before the concert begins is beautiful) U2: Live at Red Rocks - Under a Blood Red Sky
