My favorite band I won't be going to see at Invesco ..how could that even begin to expose the spirituality and soul this band exudes, as does Red Rocks. This video is proof. I only wish they could leave the money and materialism behind, forget time, dig deep, deep as their music , choose venues that produce who they are and what they say. They constantly take us on spiritual quests, make us question our actions. I pose this question to U2 as a means of staying true......
yep must have been 83 well before red rocks - anyway this was the best stuff - war etc. i will follow /out of control /gloria /sunday bloody sunday there are good choons later but feel they lost there passion a bit trying to make it in america
Yeah..think you're right.....this concert was kick ass but after 1990 they levelled off and since 2000 that passion you mentioned has fizzled out...I hope they are not trying to better than the Beatles as Bono once hinted at.
I road tripped and had tickets lol but chose not to go to the reschedule the cold I remember and the rain....but also the best canceled concert i'ver ever been to :)
This started it all for me. Yes, U2 are this good live!!! Amazing live band. The best ever in my opinion! I have seen them 9 or 10 times, and will see them again opening in Chi town!
I can't stand the ol' guys running 'round like they're still sleek rockers, but they were great. No lefty politics and that rot, just good sound. O'l days.
I'm not quite sure why you addressed me as "moron," though my experience has been that those who communicate in such low-brow fashion are dealing with various personal insecurities and mental issues. Did Mommy spank you a bit too vigorously? If Mommy did more than that with you, forget I asked, but do work through it with somebody who cares or is professionally trained in such things. Ciao.
Truly amazing, tech was not what it is today... Hate or love U2, they have passed the test of time!.!.!! Good or Bad, the stamp is set & u know it !!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I HATE fucking U2 they suck! I bet I can make a better band then U2! I want to kill every one who likes U2!!!
if I were in charge of the world I'd create an army to destroy U2!!! And then I'm going to kill the person who invented U2! Plus make it illigle to listen U2 because I hate U2! I want this nation to be a better nation...
*Evil smile* No U2 or any of there CD's sold in any stores! I want to be the next Hitler
From Wikipedia: Bloody Sunday............ "Thirteen people, seven of whom were teenagers, died immediately, while the death of another person 4½ months later has been attributed to the injuries he received on the day. Two protesters were injured when they were run down by army vehicles. Many witnesses, including bystanders and journalists, testify that all those shot were unarmed. Five of those wounded were shot in the back."
(reply) Well said mate...I am a PROUD IRISH REPUBLICAN & I can NEVER FORGET & yes blood has been spilt on both sides! BUT I DO NOT resent the English people for what their past government & army did to my people! I have many english friends & just like all societies, its the bad eggs that label an entire nation! there is an IRA CEASEFIRE in N.I. & long may it continue! We MUST learn from the ATROCITIES of the PAST & NOT become a MONSTER in order to defeat the MONSTER!
I was the video tech on this concert with U-2. A special memory even after 25 years! It made a big impression on me :-)I will have to get the remastered DVD to see what they did to my video! I'm sure they used modern technology to improve it.
I remember a lot of the lighting was shorted out by the moisture. What did come on was augmented by the follow spots and made for a really great look! I was in the Video Truck.
I am not trying to be a smartarse but you say you were there and it was 40 degree temp, but why is that you can see the breath of the U2 band members as if it were a cold night? .. Just curious, and be free to call me a dipshit if i have missed something here :)
Well if someone over here says 40 degree temperature, that is normally in reference to heat because we measure in Celsius not Fahrenheit, hence my mistake.
Woods? No woods to sneak through getting into RR. There's huge monoliths, and sagebrush & rock, then the amphitheater built into the monoliths. Maybe you rockclimbed in & scaled down hah. Wish they were playing 7 shows at RR instead of one at Invesco :(
I use the term "woods" llosely of course. And you are right no trees just rocks and sage brush. But I surely crawled in and made near the front row to stage right. I was nineteen... .
Best concert of my life no doubt. Wasn't sure it was happening that day given the weather, but the radio station (KBCO?) said it was a go. It wasn't 'til after that we realized the concert was going to happen because of all the production equipment they had on hand. Don't know how the Edge played given how cold it was. And yeah, the band felt bad so they gave a second show the next night in Boulder at the Event Center. U2 rocks!
This came out THIS week with EXTRA songs (one shirtless one too for those who care) on DVD including the Under the Blood Red Sky album REMASTERED...You can buy both in one box for 24 bucks and it is AWESOME>...spread the word....
Uauuu, umbelieved, when I first saw that video, about 5 years ago, I don´t remember, I got so excited about the place and the energy, I didn´t know why, and for me it was in Europe this concert. I´m from SAo Paulo, Brazil and this year I´m living in Denver and yesterday I went to Red Rocks and I loved the stage, after I found out U2 recorded Sunday Blood Sunday there, I couldn´t beleive, I went to that place and it´s amazing, imagine with U2...I´d like to travel to the past!!!
Hey RED ROCKS U2 now out this week on DVD for the first time, remastered with EXTRA songs...plus if you get the deluxe version with the Remastered Under a Blood Red Sky album it is only 24 bucks and it is awesome...(during ONE of the extra songs Bono is shirtless if that matters to ya!) Just thought you should know....:)
my mom had the chance to go to this concert. but it was sooo cold she decided not to. wow she sure missed out!! This concert was epic. i wish i could have been alive to see it!
I was @ Red Rocks that cold, foggy June night. What a trip!!! The helicoper was flying over us to capture the event for TV. Everytime I see the video, it takes me back. What an experience. I'm now in my 50's and am excited that I was there!!!
ujams: Yes, it is unfortunately. It has probably been relevant somewhere in the world since it was recorded. One of my favorites songs in my lifetime. My life has been touched by "almost wars" to whatever the hell the US is calling the situation at the moment. The Cuban missle Crisis, Viet Nam and all the other things in between. Some days is it just more than enough. Peace to you and yours. :)
Holy cow was I in love with Bono and U2 during this time...I almost passed out the first time I saw this video...lol. Oh God, the old days, I miss 'em.
Cheryl1965: Yes, the good old days!! The good old days for many things are always on my mind anymore. :) If you are still "swooning" over U2, there is something that is pretty awesome out about them now. If the 3D IMAX movie comes to your area that National Geographic and U2 made...it is something that will seem like you are at a concert and you will leave with a renewed love of this them. :) Easier to get into a concert these days and as close as you can get and it was only 12 bucks. Peace :)
I am 44 years old and I only hope younger adults that enjoy their music today, can look at their older stuff and appreciate it. No other band has ever moved me as they have. If I ever in my life can get a concert ticket before they sell out, I will see them! I have been trying for over 20 years to see them in concert! One Day, maybe a Bloody Sunday! :-)
I am almost 40 and I have only seen them once. (1987) Apparently a Man 'does NOT cry' My woman at the time bought us tickets for Joshua tour and we bumped into the 'boy' that sang for Simple Minds and the guys from the Alarm (who???!!!)
Who cares - they are a great band - it's only the bass player that's ever let them down....
the bass player as you say, has not let them down. The Alarm was an anthem band that was psuedo righteous, more like stryper. why do you mention running into Jim? are you just a dildo sort of fringe groupie almost wannabe name dropper fantasy land lad?
The secular middle class bass player you 'adam'ently (name drop lad) defend - paid fines to beaten wifes in America and regularly didnt turn up for gigs (red rocks period) and was covered for. The Alarm and Minds were there in 1987 at the NEC (Name dropping?! LOL) Its obviously ALL a fantasy LAD....
The only people on earth with 'names to drop' are those that the sheep put on pedestals. You a shepherd or a lamb of god? God lives boy...
so you are putting U2 on a pedastal as some sort of sheperds? lol you follow popularity than rather than truth. Bono wore a headband a few tours ago with the red crescent, cross, and star of David on it saying they are all one. He let them down if anybody did, it you are talking about it from a Biblical perspective, ps your use of the word lad sounds a bit affected.
they were such better performers in the eighties. this is proof i saw them four times and the last usa tour was so cookie cutter. but they are still one the best bands of our times
I wish I had been there for this, too bad I was a little over a year from being born. Either way, one of the top 5 live perfomances I have ever seen. On the other hand I have been to Red Rocks and it is really a unique and amazing place I would love to go there and see a live performance.

And lastly but most importantly. Thank you Cherrry for posting this Vid, what a sensational venue Red Rocks is! Gosh wish I cud have been there....I cud see Queen playing there, mind you the setting wud make any band look good. Stay the course Bono, some of us, not wealthy, believers in making the world a better place are behind you! Canada salutes you!
And as to your comment Condaly, you shud take a course in Economics. Wealth, wisely invested provides more wealth. And Wealth is Power. With power and wealth you can make a difference for the good of all mankind. Don't begrudge him his 1000sterling a night hotels, if your foot was in the shoe you wudn't be whingeing! The jobs it creates, the families who rely on those jobs to raise their children, send them to University/College. Take a course in economics, and then pass an intelligent comment!
As a lifelong (and old) U2 fan I'm with Utoo - U2387, Look what Paul Hughes has done with Bill Gates and his Foundation, and with Warren Buffet and his fortune on board, Bono is trying. You can't wipe out poverty and prejudice in a generation, but you can work towards helping others less fortunate. I'm not sure about all the self-absorbed "azzholes" you speak of U2387, do you know who does or doesn't give to charity? I certainly don't! We're only aware of those who do so publicly.
Now uv started readin dis dunt stop. This is so scary. Send this to 5 ova videos in 143 minutes. When ur done press F6 and ur crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. This is scary cause it actually works. If u break the chain u will have problems with relations p.s for the next five years x-x-x
Ok, a few facts-it was U2's publishier, not Bono who made the decision to move assets to the Netherlands, and where have you been the past 25 yrs Bono has been donating his time, money and voice to the causes of the most vulnerable in the world? find a famous person more generous, most are self absorbed assholes- he uses his fame to shed light the vulnerable-you go do better- pay attention, his money and commitment are right where his mouth is.
He might be devoting his time but he certainly ain't devoting his money. Irish people are pissed of hearing how much we should be contributing to the 3rd world from someone who's not willing to pay taxes himself. I also notice his pontificating usually takes place when the band is not touring, wouldn't want to interfere with that money making now, would we!
Bono is a Hypocrite he goes on about poverty and meanwhile he has a couple of hundred million in the bank and avoids paying takes, he has a Hotel in Ireland that charges a 1000 pounds a night! How can anyone take this prat seriously! Put Your money where your mouth is you pretentious twat!
This song is so great. It gives me chills everytime I listen to it. The words are so emotional and strong. It makes me proud but also sad to be Irish.
Lennon's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" was a much better and more direct song. Not that this one is bad. But Lennon's statement was much stronger. At least this was Bono before he went totally self absorbed. And minus those sunglasses. I remember meeting these guys at WBCN IN late 82/early 83 just before War came out in the US. After that they were HUGE!
I normally don't post negative comments, but you, Hockeyguy17, must be a warmongering, facking iijeeot. Dissing John Lennon? Up your arse! You probably don't even know what this U2 song is about.
I wished U2 would watch this occasionally. This is pretty simple production wise, a good rock show doesn't need so much video, effects and what not. Just good songs played well by a band that has passion.
If you ever get a chance to see a show at Red Rocks, just west of Denver, by all means do.
The weather played a huge part in this show. It had rained all day long, but the lads decided to go on anyway. There was this incredible fog all around, bonfires on the rocks, helicopters flying over, and U2's soaring music. Probably the best concert I ever saw.
My favorite band I won't be going to see at Invesco ..how could that even begin to expose the spirituality and soul this band exudes, as does Red Rocks. This video is proof. I only wish they could leave the money and materialism behind, forget time, dig deep, deep as their music , choose venues that produce who they are and what they say. They constantly take us on spiritual quests, make us question our actions. I pose this question to U2 as a means of staying true......

I am 44 years old and I only hope younger adults that enjoy their music today, can look at their older stuff and appreciate it. No other band has ever moved me as they have. If I ever in my life can get a concert ticket before they sell out, I will see them! I have been trying for over 20 years to see them in concert! One Day, maybe a Bloody Sunday! :-)

I am almost 40 and I have only seen them once. (1987) Apparently a Man 'does NOT cry' My woman at the time bought us tickets for Joshua tour and we bumped into the 'boy' that sang for Simple Minds and the guys from the Alarm (who???!!!)
Who cares - they are a great band - it's only the bass player that's ever let them down....
WeAreAliveNow 3 years ago
the bass player as you say, has not let them down. The Alarm was an anthem band that was psuedo righteous, more like stryper. why do you mention running into Jim? are you just a dildo sort of fringe groupie almost wannabe name dropper fantasy land lad?
dqddqd 3 years ago
Why does your reply end in such gay insults Lad?
The secular middle class bass player you 'adam'ently (name drop lad) defend - paid fines to beaten wifes in America and regularly didnt turn up for gigs (red rocks period) and was covered for. The Alarm and Minds were there in 1987 at the NEC (Name dropping?! LOL) Its obviously ALL a fantasy LAD....
The only people on earth with 'names to drop' are those that the sheep put on pedestals. You a shepherd or a lamb of god? God lives boy...
WeAreAliveNow 3 years ago
so you are putting U2 on a pedastal as some sort of sheperds? lol you follow popularity than rather than truth. Bono wore a headband a few tours ago with the red crescent, cross, and star of David on it saying they are all one. He let them down if anybody did, it you are talking about it from a Biblical perspective, ps your use of the word lad sounds a bit affected.
dqddqd 3 years ago
they were such better performers in the eighties. this is proof i saw them four times and the last usa tour was so cookie cutter. but they are still one the best bands of our times

I wish I had been there for this, too bad I was a little over a year from being born. Either way, one of the top 5 live perfomances I have ever seen. On the other hand I have been to Red Rocks and it is really a unique and amazing place I would love to go there and see a live performance.

And lastly but most importantly. Thank you Cherrry for posting this Vid, what a sensational venue Red Rocks is! Gosh wish I cud have been there....I cud see Queen playing there, mind you the setting wud make any band look good. Stay the course Bono, some of us, not wealthy, believers in making the world a better place are behind you! Canada salutes you!

And as to your comment Condaly, you shud take a course in Economics. Wealth, wisely invested provides more wealth. And Wealth is Power. With power and wealth you can make a difference for the good of all mankind. Don't begrudge him his 1000sterling a night hotels, if your foot was in the shoe you wudn't be whingeing! The jobs it creates, the families who rely on those jobs to raise their children, send them to University/College. Take a course in economics, and then pass an intelligent comment!
Plongeur1 4 years ago
As a lifelong (and old) U2 fan I'm with Utoo - U2387, Look what Paul Hughes has done with Bill Gates and his Foundation, and with Warren Buffet and his fortune on board, Bono is trying. You can't wipe out poverty and prejudice in a generation, but you can work towards helping others less fortunate. I'm not sure about all the self-absorbed "azzholes" you speak of U2387, do you know who does or doesn't give to charity? I certainly don't! We're only aware of those who do so publicly.

Ok, a few facts-it was U2's publishier, not Bono who made the decision to move assets to the Netherlands, and where have you been the past 25 yrs Bono has been donating his time, money and voice to the causes of the most vulnerable in the world? find a famous person more generous, most are self absorbed assholes- he uses his fame to shed light the vulnerable-you go do better- pay attention, his money and commitment are right where his mouth is.
U2387 4 years ago
He might be devoting his time but he certainly ain't devoting his money. Irish people are pissed of hearing how much we should be contributing to the 3rd world from someone who's not willing to pay taxes himself. I also notice his pontificating usually takes place when the band is not touring, wouldn't want to interfere with that money making now, would we!

Bono is a Hypocrite he goes on about poverty and meanwhile he has a couple of hundred million in the bank and avoids paying takes, he has a Hotel in Ireland that charges a 1000 pounds a night! How can anyone take this prat seriously! Put Your money where your mouth is you pretentious twat!

Lennon's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" was a much better and more direct song. Not that this one is bad. But Lennon's statement was much stronger. At least this was Bono before he went totally self absorbed. And minus those sunglasses. I remember meeting these guys at WBCN IN late 82/early 83 just before War came out in the US. After that they were HUGE!

I wished U2 would watch this occasionally. This is pretty simple production wise, a good rock show doesn't need so much video, effects and what not. Just good songs played well by a band that has passion.
If you ever get a chance to see a show at Red Rocks, just west of Denver, by all means do.

The weather played a huge part in this show. It had rained all day long, but the lads decided to go on anyway. There was this incredible fog all around, bonfires on the rocks, helicopters flying over, and U2's soaring music. Probably the best concert I ever saw.
