  • Best concert by one of the best bands of all time in the best venue ever...I just can't get over Bono skipping like a school-girl through the whole thing...pretty much ruins it for me. I can excuse the black Levis and the Super-Mullet, but good GOD...the para-military douce skipping dance? That is a little too much---even for the 80's.

  • U2- Usually Ultimate Unbeatable.

    Utopia.

    Hearts of Harmony.

  • Why don't they play this live anymore? One of their absolute best.

  • @ 4:44-4:45 Check out the old man in the front row

  • @michamechudo That's awesome. 

  • Have never been anywhere close to seeing them but this is great, thanks ,cheers from Canada ;)

  • Hooray for Edge. 

  • we cant even get them to play in are own country ?@ ireland

  • The fact that he breaks this down into a Chubby Checker interlude blows my fuckin' mind! Bad Ass!!!

  • The Kelto Mullet Rules!

  • Admit it- Bono's hair was cooler-looking back then : )

  • CANT STOP DANCING 1 OF THERE ALL TIME GREATS

  • ...Only, wasn't it super cold at the time? Poor shirtless Bono.

  • @TheBeautifulStream Yeah it was like hypothermia cold..which many of us in the crowd were staving off by pressing in to the stage..it was glorious madness..and for a show that almost was cancelled due to rain it turned out pretty good I'd say..Best Red Rocks concert ever.

  • Love the bass and guitar in this.  Let's twist together like we did last summer!

  • good times, great day's.....top band!!!! bring back there old stuff to a concert soon please!!! 

  • amazing song

  • I love how he sounds so intense when he sings this song! If only I was older haha :)

  • The cure

  • Great song!

    ...and sexy Bono...

  • GREAT SONG

  • This song was cut in the original Red Rocks release. I always wondered why Bono appeared to change his shirt after the 1st song. Didn't give credit to writer of the Twist. No such problem on new video release.

  • lol i use to sing this to my bf so much it drove him nuts u2 will always be my all time fav

  • Comment removed

  • Bono's striptease is the best thing EVER :D U2 rocks! :) 

  • Bono probably on weighed about 45 Kurics then. He needs more Bitty.

  • inspired. love the early years.

  • ADAM's BASS!

  • They may not have been as good a musicians at this time but man they could bring the energy and that is what i loved! Just raw and rocked it!!

  • brilliant edge

  • One of the best videos ever! :lol: I'll never forget Bono's striptease!

  • I wish they never cut that part out of the DVD, it makes it more amazing.

  • And they were all between 20-24 years old. I thought I'd never hear this clip again. Thanks for posting. Once had it on tape when my Walkman filled up with shampoo from travel and ruined the tape! It's been 22 years since then...

    Wow...

    Bono did have some love handles by today's standards though. But love it!

  • I know someone who was at this concert. He said it was almost rained out but they ended up playing. Then the next day they played in a nearby arena. This was one of the best musical performances of all time.

  • ohhh Bono looks soo hot and sexy here. I love it.

  • i will love them forever, happy birthday bono!!!!!

  • Edge, Shut-up a second!....... Man I would of "River Dance Bitch Slapped" Bono if I was him.

  • oooh bebe, take it off!

  • super pee

  • If he only felt the love I've lost!!

  • The rythym guitar in this song , New years day, and electric co. , is the reason I feel in love with this band! Thank you Edge!

  • Has anyone ever seen Bibien1 and Adam Clayton in the same room together? Just a thought....

  • who is Bibien1?

  • Put yer shirt back on, Bono! You been watching Capt. Kirk too much!

  • LOVE IT. Back when their music was rockin' hard, tight as fuck, not overblown (like later years), and Bono's vocals were clear and powerful. To me, this was their peak period with respect to energetic, pure rock 'n' roll.

  • Hey Edge Chill for a second...verbatim

  • Bono's saying "Edge, shut up for a sec", its an age old expression from the northside of Dublin.

  • 0:14 watch the Edge break it down

  • U2 rocks!

  • @schildmarkus oh, yes they DOOOO!! :D

  • Adam Clayton is luckier than Ringo! He should get on his knees and thank God every day. But he has become a pretty good player and he is the coolest one of them.

  • They ALL should get on their knees and thank God- I saw them play in a small club in 1982- they could barely play their instruments.

  • nice time!!

  • heard this song back in the early 80's been a mega fan ever since, u2 are the best x

  • Bono is beautiful *.*

  • Watch Edge from 2:03 to 2:11 , He was able to pull that off with only a deluxe memoryman ! Thats impressive to create that type of sound! Try that on guitar!

  • Bono's hair looks amazing like that, he should have kept it that way... lol

    only he can pull it off!

  • the bass is awesome in this song

  • if they eve built that Time Machine this is one of the concerts that I would loved to have been part and also the cure live in orange would have made my life!!!

  • Dang !! Them boys could play back then too !!

  • I wonder what this amazing song would sound like on the new tour?

  • Going again, Foxboro MA!!!! Can`t wait!!!

  • One of my all time favourite U2 songs, think it always will be.

  • "...Edge...shut up for a second!"... I love that! They cut this out of the DVD-release, couse of "Let´s twist again", but honestly, that is rock´n roll... i can´t stop to dance.... maybe, this is my last chance... i love it!

  • KliUretzschmar , I might be wrong but when I heard this the first time my impression is that Bono said," Edge,..chill for a second" If so maybe it would seem a little more courteous. I still like that he isn't afraid to change things up.

  • hope I do not disappoint you, but this little "improv" seems to be a common thing on that tour. i have a tapefrom the boston show two days later than this very show, and they´ve done the same thing. even two years later, at the "fire..."-shows, when they played it live, bono interruppted edge.. anyway, it´s rock´nroll at it´s best. still!

  • but actually you might be right with "chill for a second..."

    regrads from here to there

  • Although, I'll admit, it does sound like Bono says "chill," I doubt very much that he used that word in that context in 1983. Nobody said "Dude, chill" in the early 80's.

  • Well, now I must disagree, as I believe that Bono clearly says " Edge, chill for a second!" as he looks right at him, wanting to spend some time with the audience. Remember despite all the Bono flash the guy is a pretty damn good lyricist.

  • He actually says "Edge shut up for a second"

  • the term at the time was

    "chill out"

  • Yes, and they also cut it out of the UABRS for the same reason. That's the best part of U@, the improvising.

  • i bet even back then the fans were thinking "i wish they wouldn't play this shit from their new album and stick to their classics"! hahah

  • Bono had a good shape in this video! Nothing chubby about him!

  • Bono had such a sexy body!!

  • chubby Bono

  • chubby??? Deffinately not in here!!

  • Comment removed

  • @sbhdawn - no. No, really he did not.

  • what the hell is he talking about at the end....he can't remember the words to his song? another song? even the audience is confused. bono is so cute.

  • orale kede sorprendido no pense k estuviera esta rola en este concierto de red rocks

  • TP...Two minds think as one. Great minds mind you...

  • oh yes - almost make a whole.

  • ...a whole simple mind. Ooh, what a great name for a band?!!!

  • nah, it'll never take off. umm sounds promising ... 'let me see those hands' oops sorry! it slipped out.

  • This is fantastic!! Also check out performances of Twilight, An Cat Dubh, Into the heart and Out of Control 'live' at Red Rocks 83. Why were'nt these songs included on the DVD release of Under a Blood Red Sky???

  • They were.

  • It RockS!

  • Nothing can compare to the passion of youth!! They are youthful here, now they are older, and it makes a difference. Some things just last for a short while, as in youth!!

  • grab it before you dribble over the memory.

  • They still are an awesome band!! One of the best!! But for not having the energy now, they were young then, now they`re a little older you have to cut them some slack don`t ya think?

  • The Edge is just incredible. U2 was definitely in their finest moment. I am pumped about this concert finally being on DVD.

  • loved u2 more in the old days im sad to sat does anyone agree??

  • love this show its has amazing energy something u2 lack these days

    any bootleg collectors know what show bono says on this song i cannot dance iam sh1t

    i had it many years ago and cannot find it

  • take it off Bono!! take it all off!

    and,

    "Edge, shut up a minute"- classic.

    They were so cute back then

  • Hahaha that probably embarassed the crap out of The Edge there, "Edge, shut up for a second", you could hear Bono trying not to bust up laughing.

  • that sucks that the "twist" part was left off the dvd version

  • Is Bono trying to squeeze out a fart at 1:09??

  • oh yeah I even heard the fart in the PA too.

  • best band of the 80s

    early stuff(boy, october, war) was the BEST

  • The Edge school of "less is best" guitar playing. I love it when he just lets a note ring until it feeds back.

  • I have listing to this tape/cd/md for so long i am glad to see it live.. what a great concert it seem,, I have seen U2 over 10 times in the 90's and 2000's but i would rather have seen them during this time.. they look great and sound even better. Thanks

  • SUPER,GREAT,FAVORITE

  • Is it just me, or does Bono with his top off look like a hairless Robin Williams?

  • I like man boobies!!

  • sorry did sum1 say other den zep, no one has the hits r longevity??

    ahem status quo, 63 hit singles, 35 hit albums and goin 43 years

  • Wow guys! If U don't like a band then U should be on the bands U like post. I like a lot of music, yes U2 is my all time fav, but I would not even spend the time listening & looking @ a band that I don't like. So Y do people waste their time doing that instead of enjoying the music they like? I just don't get it!

  • Nirvana and The Dooors are viewed as legendary as they are because their lead singers died, they had great music yes, but their popularity "benefited" from the deaths. U2 is more legendary and Bono is still alive and well and kicking.

  • "legendary because their lead singer died"????

    Listen to their catalogue of music and I think their best matches up to any artist!!!

    They are "legendary" because they are good!!!

  • Hilarious. However, technically some of these "missing videos" don't have the same production quality as those that were originally released. I can see why a few were left out to make the video fit a one hour TV slot.

  • edge shut up for a sceond

    classic

  • Awesome lyrics.

  • u2 are class!!!!

  • "Edge...Chill for a second"

  • Ha ha ha. Bono with no shirt on. He's pullin' a Cap'n Kirk!

  • Whoa at 4:02 we almost got a shot at a plumber's butt crack.

  • Hey, I didn't notice THAT!

    You always lookin' out for butt cracks?

  • top irish dancing bono !! best band in the world by the way

  • Well, that's an entirely subjective opinion. You might personally think they're "the best" - whatever that means - but that doesn't make them so.

  • Ok, if they are not the best, in YOUR opinion, then which band is the best or even better than U2?

  • What would be the point? It's all subjective. There is no best band. Even if I did give you an answer, you'd just dismiss it like any typical internet troll, slug, thingy.

  • No, I would not have but now that you have insulted me I would dismiss anything you say.

    You showed that you are just a U2 hater for the sake of being a U2 hater, you obviously do not legitimately think there is a better band than U2, you just plain hate U2. In one person's opinion there is a best band, that is all I asked for YOUR opinion, since you are so hevaily against U2, I was curious to see who you thought was better or if were just slagging U2 without any basis.

  • Strange. There appears to be five U2 CD's in my music collection. Wonder how they got there?

  • And keep your hate and venom to yourself!!! I asked you a perfectly polite and mature question and you resort to slagging, learn how to have a mature conversation. I am designating your comment as spam.

  • Ouch, that "hurts"!

  • The Beatles!!

    Easy answer to an easy question.

    The police is also better...

    I rank U2 in the top 10 maybe top 5...

    Fleetwood Mac...Led Zep...Doors...Nirvana...Tom Petty...

  • The Beatles, how predictable an answer...I knew they would come up. A band that was around for 5 years is the best band in the world??? Led Zeppelin I think is a good answer, at least they kicked ass for a decade and are still kickcing ass, the rest, in MY opinion do not have neither the quantity of hits nor the longevity.

  • You see what I mean? I was totally correct about you! Someone gives you their opinion as to who they think is better than U2 and you dismiss it typical, rude, internet-troll fashion. And then you have the gall to call me rude? Hypocrite! You're fucked.

  • lol!!!

  • I love how you end the list with 'etc'. It's like you're not even certain about who you want to list.

    Really, let people enjoy what they want, alright?

  • Sorry! Seeing you're from "Stralia" I should have included olivia-newtron-bomb, and the bee gee's...Make you fell better??

  • That's because you ain't good enough to like them!

  • THE WHO. SEX PISTOLS. LED ZEP. U2. RAMONES. thats my top 5

  • mine is u2,jars of clay,chili peppers,switchfoot,and nirvana

  • Bono with no shirt is a nice spectacle

  • Spectacles? What are you talking about?

  • no idea lol

    I meant "a nice thing to see"

  • Yes, he's a spectacle alright, putting on a spectacular performance here, with or without spectacles.
