U2 October & New Year's Day Live

[marketweis]

Red Rocks.....whatta freakin' awesome venue!!!

[robertolorenzo1969]

bellissime canzoni !

[SpaStvnvid]

I think it's Peter Rowan

Awesome concert!

[NilioHambach]

Who is the little boy behind that  appears sometimes ?? Does anybody know ??

[thedrippinglemon]

@NilioHambach i believe he was a neighbour of Bono's. i think he was a younger brother of one of their friends.

[1968peachy]

@NilioHambach cover of the first album, named "boy", came out 1980, I'm nut sure, but i read somthing that it is a friend or relative of Larry Mullen

[paullavan2011]

I stopped listening to U2 after the Joshua Tree came out - how can the same band turn out Two Hearts Beat As One and then record total shite?

[scragger1969]

WORE OUT THE NEEDLE ON MY RECORD PLAYER WHEN THIS ALBUM CAME OUT- WISH THEY'D STAYED THIS UNDERGROUND

[PrincesaSarah11]

Eu tbm não entendo essa banda tão maravilhosa marcou minha infância, nesse festival tão lindo poucas visualizaçãoes não entendo mesmo!

[Crackerroll1]

This is hands down the best concert video of the last 30 years. Pure magic. I remember listening to the casette tape over and over and over when I was in high school. Great memories of a great band.

[lennomenno]

U2 when they were intense, fresh, new and exciting.... I wish I could go back...

[22v68]

@julesSC

what a horrible thing to say to someone (go and choke). Your not a very nice person and certainly no lady.

[22v68]

I hate U2

Bono is so over-rated as a singer' sounds to me like he's just shouting

Give me black RnB reggae soul funk or dance music over this garbage

Plus I don't like being asked for money for charity by a man who's worth over 100 million pounds

[DMcCU2]

@22v68 Well I'm sorry to hear that, thanks for sharing.

[JulesSC]

@22v68 Why are you here then?? Go spread your hate on toast and choke on it you poor person you

[EloiseDecember]

@22v68 Bono is an excellent singer you ignorant shit. That's just your excuse for not giving money to charity. He could easily sit on his backside and do nothing like the rest of them but he has a conscience - he is a brilliant Irish genius. Dance music is total shite so you really don't have a clue. His album sales, longevity of career and continued success speak for themselves.

[22v68]

@EloiseDecember Hey there, let me apologise for my stupid comment. Don't get me wrong, I'm only apologising for not giving Bono / U2 the respect they deserve, they are of cause one of the biggest bands in the history of music with millions of albums sales etc etc. Personally their music does nothing for me but thats just me. As for Bono asking us for money for charity while sitting on his own hundred million dollar fortune well I stand by my comment, he can go fuck himself, use his own money.

[EloiseDecember]

@22v68 Well I'm sure Bono gives and has given a lot of his own money to them. Happy to hear you appreciate U2s talent though even if it's not to your own taste. I believe first line of my comment was too rude! Sorry about that. Just usually a lot of ignorami on internet :)

[crazyrabbits]

2:06

Shit just got real.

[MsJayney1]

U2 own Red Rocks... you're right. ;-) one of the greatest ever gigs, I used to have this on video, saw U2 in 82 and 83 and they were amazing, seen them quite a few times but nothing beats this, what a gig it must have been in this setting.!!

[234711]

New Year's Day is just one of those songs that was meant to be listened to live

[futureseven]

Sends shivers down my spine, new years day, my favorite song for many many reasons.

[IndyBearFan88]

I knew U2 was going to be legendary when I saw the Red Rocks replay when I was like 13...

[MrRonbo67]

I still get goosebumps watching this video after 20 something years!

[quintillo76]

Best songs of u2 ever!!!

[1983REDROCKSU2]

Ahhhh, U2 where did ya go after you left red rocks! your sound- Haunting, Majestic, Classic, never to be done that way again, even though they will never go back, U2 owns RED ROCKS, their spirit walks about there every night... they just allow other artist to use it time and again! How long? the Day was Sunday, Bloody Sunday-June 5th 1983 a day that will live on in infamy!

[lsnows]

@1983REDROCKSU2 That was my 7th birthday!  LOL

[marylou365]

magistralement magistral

[SixDayWar67]

Are you kidding ????????

Still only 155,000 views to one of the best live concerts in the history of rock ?

[TheBeautifulStream]

This is a live song that never gets old...

...for me anyway.

[joaquin8996]

It's amazing.Bono was 23 and The Edge 22 years old in this concert.I think is very important the Irish Music for that.I LOVE IRELAND.

[furby4bono]

I'm pretty sure that every concert U2 has done, it rocked everybody in the arena. Every single one.

[Halehlouya]

wonderful

[mandrivaal]

Nice!!!!!



[sidheartraja]

Larry smiling!!

[SlasherMiniFilms]

I have Under A Blood Red Sky: Live at Red Rocks on VHS

[chenapeinado]

Que buena banda!!! espero verlos el año que viene en River!!

[petitprince1]

Bono's voice is so powerful here, it is almost impossible!!! I loved his voice 80-89!!!

[6prereq]

@petitprince1 I agree!  His voice was at it's best during that era!!!

[MrUndercoverblues]

@petitprince1 he still has some of the same moments now and as a singer he is actually better. The issue for him now is his voice wears out a lot quicker and get's tired easier. Just part of aging. Once in a while, he'll be at his ethereal best and hit those notes NOBODY else can

[andymckelvey1967]

The Edge is missing his beanie cap and Bono isn't wearing his world war 2 pilots goggles with tinted lenses , but this youthful U2 sound a lot better to me . Although today their professionalism can't be faulted.

[onurb180]

Comment ne pas aimer le plus beau morceau du plus grand groupe rock de tous les temps..... Merçi a eux

[userbip88]

Thanks for posting. Needed to hear NYD, took me back about 24 years ago when I first heard it. The older U2 was raw, the piano in this, haunting. Red Rocks is my favourite, as is NYD. Therapeutic, thanks

[TITITOS27]

EL MEJOR GRUPO DE TODA LA HISTORIA U2...¡¡¡¡

[Uwavester]

I don't have anything against u2, but AC/DC is better.

[jkarce]

@Uwavester : Stop. You're killing me! I've been an AC/Dc fan since the late 70's but saying they're better than U2 is like comparing the dodo bird to an eagle.

[Uwavester]

@jkarce lol 

[Wadnor1]

racing through northern france in an open top jaguar XK, frost on the ground with under a blood red sky blasting out, it doesnt get a lot better

[sinister066]

@Wadnor1 u lucky basket..lol.

[saipanrick]

It's not exactly rare, if it's available on DVD on Amazon. Good tunes, though.

[SonodeTe]

love everything about this...........loved edge's haunting backing vocals *sigh, oh to have been there

[fuckamericanidiot]

october sounds a bit pointless to me, new eayr's day is wicked though

[rinocerulalb]

best version of New Year's Day, for sure!

bravo

[heliwithH]

@rinocerulalb Totusi cred ca cea mai buna versiune a fost tot in `83 dar la Devore, California...se gaseste si un clip dar calitatea e mai slaba :)

Awesome U2!

[rinocerulalb]

@heliwithH

si acolo, de acord...

larry si adam par sa fi baut 2-3 red bull inainte de fiecare concert

:))

[TheNeumotorax]

ESTA ES LA MEJOR VERSION DE ESTE TEMA Y DEBERIA SER LA UNICA!!!!

[madriver67]

The best band to see live!! that`s what i think!!!

[ResurrectionMusicNL]

@madriver67 i agree

[spring09ize]

I just love this song, this 2 songs put together.. The piano how sweet.. I love U2 music.. Very talented, skilled.. Bono looks very young and handsome. :)

[lauli69]

I could just watch what the edge is doing through the whole song! His playing guitar and piano literally at the same time plus singing the backing vocals! SKILLSS!

[zonk42]

I saw them in 1985 in Hartford, Ct, and coincidentally I sat in seat U-2 on the floor at the Civic Center. I still have the ticket.

[RIPmyers]

I have this still on vhs which I was 13 when they played there,

[assfacerz]

if you remermber them as i do we are together as one timeless

[ricdiasalpoim]

October is poesy, beautiful song!!!

[cs1702]

I used to like this song, this album, this band, soo much.. there was a time when I felt U2 was the best of the best... and then they disappeared to become a plain pop, repetitive, non-creative band.. Considering how very much I liked them, this is probably the band that has later let me down the most.. I do give them credit for staying out there and doing something current although far from my taste. (Thx God I stil have Depeche Mode who on the contrary became from fine to absolutely great!)

[riccricardo]

Demais, demais................ nos nunca iremos fazer isso! No país do axé e creus...?? Nunca!

[fanOfTheCamachos]

this is such a deep song....

[daipunker65]

red rocks is my time in life ,looking back it allways goes back into an awesome time and gives me huge amounts of pleasure.

i love it.

[arfyman]

Best band ever.

[arfyman]

I was there ! Best concert ever, remember wishing it would last forever. Cold, foggy, thought it might snow.

[TheLostinadream]

I can imagine!!!

Damn it must have been nice!

[ggracesunday61]

@arfyman Por Dios se que envidiar es un pecado ... pero que envidia

[TheKingofRockMusic]

busy boy our Edgy in this one!....guitar, piano, and vocals and all with some merit!

Hello Walter and Uschi!:D :D

[pjb6996]

you will never hear a better live version than this. Perfection

[omar21ra]

una supervoz !!!, lo maximo U2 SAlu2 Peru

[pako90m]

5 stars....oh yeah!!

[alleghenyman]

Has to have been one of the greatest live shows ever.

[starrocker95]

Love U2!!!!!! I love watching Edge play, he plays piano, then suddenly picks up his guitar and starts rocking out!!! how AWESOME!!! love playing this song on my piano, tho i'm not as good as edgie (yes, edgie!!)

[popgirl2112]

I hope I get to see U2 at Invesco Field this summer. I want to see them SO BAD!!!

[deadlyfella79]

this is deadly had it when it came out its great when drink is on board but u2 are more than this. but they need to give it up its over long live u2 best band ever. i'm right you know

[kkarpicki1]

@deadlyfella79 boom chow ......you are right

[Ou8mynookie]

"Blackbembel" your right, this is the Best Live Version, then its the Studio version.  FUckin A!

[ro7477]

Bono, see you in East Lansing 2010. cheers. U2 forever

[jaxysweet]

Adam has an easy gig, but love him.

[kronos2501]

I love the Edge's piano work here. This is one of my favorite songs, and to see it rendered so well... wow! :)

[rainbowdragon131065]

Happy new year U2 and cant wait for Glast off in the summer lol.

[BlackBembel]

Best Live Version to me ...HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

[luisonlinemarch]

@BlackBembel Of Course, one of the best live performance. Including other kind of pop rock...

[gallofranci]

I... will be with you again.

[dergru]

where the hell is the official new years day music video on here?

[dmontoya699]

New Year's Day

[kronos2501]

This rocks! 80s U2 is sooo awesome :)

[SixDayWar67]

As big as U2 is I can't understand why this and the other videos from Red Rock have such low views.

Less than 100,000 in over two years ?

There are not too many bands that can play their songs better live than in the studio as this concert proved and the energy and non-overproduction is just amazing.

Oh well

[jayfey77]

@SixDayWar67 yeah it's sad when people like lady gaga have millions of views and this isnt even close to that.red rocks has great acoustics for performing live.i have footage of the beatles performing here and it sounds amazing.

[prankE69]

one of the songs that will be played on my funeral

[extreme67]

U2 wrote "Miami"

[naya773]

Em português: incrível, sem comparação!

[brainwavezzz]

God.. How I wish I could have been there.. :-) The purity, intensity and energy of (early) U2 is something bands nowadays very seldom touch...

[bluesaxeman]

I agree... this was U2 before they became too big and too weird for their own good, and before Bono disappeared up his own backside

[armandin2048]

@brainwavezzz totaLLY AGREE - I saw them a Gateshead 1982 - the first time I had ever heard them - awesome, The Edge jus loves big stadia.

[Breedoe]

How lucky you are to have seen them at Gateshead!That was the first time I saw them,on the Tube,Gateshead 1982,I was 14.The first time I actually saw them live was,Unforgettable Fire tour,1984.I cant believe some of the comments.U2 can't continue to be 19 year olds forever.Yes they have changed and not for the better,though still great,but which one of us still acts like they did in the early 80's?

[depechelover]

classsic!!!

[Dukabor]

hey...how about everyone stop arguing?...especially about rectums?...ok that's funny sometimes...but it's a hell of a medley?...and it's the Edge...doing piano and guitar?

[komyokan1]

i will begin again

[OccidentalAlice]

you state that this is rare? I bought this on vhs December 1983...are you saying it's no longer available on vhs or dvd at least?

[jessem131]

it's available on dvd, i just bought it today

[OccidentalAlice]

which makes me wonder...is it still available on vhs? And if it's not, would that put it in the 'rare' category? I joined the U2 fan club back in 1983, so I got a lot of rare stuff from them...also have a lot of rare/hard-to-find vinyl singles and 12-inches from the early 80s that I keep holding on to...never know what can come of it I suppose.

[korwin67]

i will buy your singles

[OccidentalAlice]

not ready to sell yet...I've been holding on to them for over 26yrs and...sorry to be morbid here...but I figure when one of them kicks over, my collection (including all the original fan club stuff from '83...autographed pics and whatnot) will be worth a lot more. That said, I'm nowhere near the fan I use to be way back yonder...frankly, I think they should have broken up after Pop.

[DonnieJon]

I agree, i loved early U2 back in the day and imo they peaked with The Joshua Tree. Their last decent album was Achtung Baby.

[OccidentalAlice]

I'm with you on that, DonnieJon...although evidently I was pretty much the only person on the planet that has never been all that crazy about Joshua Tree...In God's Country is the only song I ever truly loved on that one.

[MJKDTJ]

very brilliant sound. u2 one of the few rock bands that were able to perform better live. congratulations to the sound engineer.

[bockybalboa]

@MJKDTJ The rain made this better.

[ntn777]

I tottaly agree with spegg89, and I'm 17 but yet I prefer not just the 80's but the 70's and 60's too, bands like, The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, the true rock in general we'll never see it again, I think U2 is one of the last real rock bands that still play =(

[TheBrightjay]

@ntn777 look around for new music there are lots of good rock bands out there i loved u2 in the 80,90s they have lost their creative spark the live shows are still awesome a little bit to staged

they brought me lots of happiness listening to their music

my favorite for personal reasons is with or without you

[yieldmotherculture]

@ntn777

Pearl Jam, Tragically Hip, Live, .... there are still some, they're just harder to find.

[gh9448]

@yieldmotherculture Pearl Jam has become legendary, but Tragically Hip and Live?Nah, I don't think so-they don't even begin to compare to PJ and U2.

[1dgkonig]

@ntn777 Don't forget Rush.

[sweetassugar69]

@ntn777 i think you need to also take a look at simple minds who still play today and are just as good as u2 and been going for over 30 years now !! stay visible,moscow underground light travels and there last 2 abums have been brilliant black and white 050505 and graffiti soul check them out and come back to me !!! in fact if you ask bono who he wanted to sound like its these guys ! these 2 bands grew up together and come up through the pub circuits! 2 legends

[crisyog]

I disagree! Music in the early days was way better in the quality of creativity and spirit! And of course the voice of Bono was also in the 80´ies at the height of his power

[TheRebelAlex]

Bono has a nice ass in the 80' *O*

[thor19b]

My ass is better

[bobbyperu1000]

well opinions are like assholes,everybody has one,ARSEHOLE.

[4FISH20]

'OI!!!

[zimonandras]

király!!!!!

[MissAgentProvocateur]

fucking amazing proud 2 b IRISH

[bobbyperu1000]

too many people livin in the past, u2's music way better now than early days.

[TomKW89]

5:39

[Rascasseman]

The should bring back October into their live setlists.

[undhee7]

u2 ever since..are great.......

[clucas41601]

Recorded in the days when they a great band. Not any more - most of the recent stuff is self-indulgent rubbish.

[Rascasseman]

They always will make fantastic music. They will be forever brilliant because they are U2.

[clucas41601]

And perhaps if Bone-head removed his sanctimonious, hypocritical head from his own backside for long enough he be be able to hear the drivel they produce these days and recall how good they used to sound like the concert in question.

[samforever321]

after joshua tree and maybe rattle and hum album u2 went downhill....

[Mikeygold1234]

Achtung Baby is one of the best albums of the last 30 years. Are you crazy???

[rocksuena]

TODOS LEGAN AL PINXO CON ESA MIERDA DE THE BEATLES U2 IS THE BEST BAND OF THE WORLD

u2 es unico en marcar su estilo de lo mejor U2 the edge. bono, adam clayton y larry mullen jnr. THE BEST YEAH THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL U2

[dannyrockmgs]

Am I really, really wrong, or U2 was better in the 80's?

[lennomenno]

I'm with you. They are still good,but there's just something about early U2 that was just plain magical. This concert at Red Rocks beautifully captures that magic.

[dannyrockmgs]

Yeah, this video takes that essence. U2 still being creative but... I think that everything in the 80's was better...

[lennomenno]

Im still with you !! The 80's was definately a great decade.

[Thejollyguitarist]

Your right , ALL music in the 80's was better , now its just a money making shceme to new bands

[spegg89]

fact the 80's was alot better !!!!

music these days is pish.... fukin rap rnb shite... jonas brothers bollocks!

[jacquesjapan]

No, not wrong. 80's U2 was like "listening for a moment to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star."

[wolfennyc]

you're wrong U2 was even better in the

90's

[SixDayWar67]

sorry wolfen but having seen bands like ELP, Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull and countless others including U2 before they became BIG and seeing them in mostly small concert halls with a max of 2500 was when they were at their best.......fresh,raw and energetic !

As we used to say...When you hit the Garden your were basically done "

For those not familiar the "Garden" was Madison Square Garden in NYC where bands that used to play at "The Academy of Music " on 14th st, and 3rd ave

[Usuariodeloscojones]

very nice

[dgrfpp]

What a voice he had those years!!!!!

[markperera3]

At the start of New Year's Day, Larry, Adam, Bono look so happy to be playing there!

[Srileyskier]

I was 13 and lived 30 minutes from this epic event wish every day of my life that I would have been there! Oh well, see ya on tour in '09!

[alizeexyloveyou]

this is best concert of 1980 maybe of all 80´s decade

[thevan355a]

Essa música me lembra da parte mais feliz de toda minha vida...

[DULCEFATIMA]

Viva U2. The best group of the world

[redshawl]

i agree ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS EVER!!!

[Drummersleven]

Agree!

[RebelThoughts]

Just amazing...

[lollyvip]

And kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall ... BUT YOU GO ON !!! This song is pure perfection!!! *_*

[19AD93]

i think taht u know what i mean

[19AD93]

Edge playes Guitar and piano, and if that isnt eneogh he sings a little, NICE!!

its a beatifull song both

[MorrowPr0ject]

I was a teenager in the 1980's and I watched the 'VCR' copy of this 100 times.... still one of the best concerts EVER!!

[abdulcocha]

Probablemente la mejor puesta en una escena de la historia del Rock.. Siempre brillara la unforgettable fire alrededor.

[Kihotay]

Hilarious how Edge manages to play guitar and keyboard at same time... very Spinal Tap - I love 'em! Just bought the remastered CD and DVD of this album!

[26538635]

Amo a Bono,lo adoro!!!!

[patna4]

Saw them on TV 81 (Rockpalast Loreley) when I was 14.

The first time I ever heard of U2.

October gives me goosebumps, too.

When I feel depressed, I listen to my old U2 records. That helps.

[dragmio]

Everyone loves the part at 2:06. :) Did you hear the scream from the audience? Who else can do that with four notes on the bass? Go, Adam!

[fdesca]

how can u say it s rare if it s on youtube ?

great vid anyway

[elevation95]

Wow...They sound even better live!One of reasons why U2 is the best band...

2:06 love that part!

[boabstewart]

I saw these guys back in 1982 in Dundee Scotland they were brilliant then and still are today

[roberlevi]

Just when I thought U2 couldn't get any worse, They come up with a brand new pile of crap, and I'm not talking their new album but Vertigo... This is the real and best U2 ever.

[boabstewart]

ged man yiv got a a marrang bren gfed really futared

[depeche19812]

foarte tare

[Kwinquark1]

Wonderfully atmospheric - though not as rare as you believe, I've had this on VHS for over 20 years, Octocer/NYD are totally indivisible to me now!

[someblokecalledchris]

ive had this long as you have bliss ....good time what a vid .

[onurb180]

Vraiment un bijou,doit rentrer dans le pantheon de la musique.

[isaloucabela]

Perfect!

[isaloucabela]

Perfect!
