People disrespect U2 a lot and I have no clue why. Brilliant band!

[@fridaw1015]

Under a Blood Red Sky is fantastic!

[@stevesmith4600]

"Hey this is Red Rocks ... it rocks!"

[@bernicequigley4629]

I love watching live performances before cell phones. The crowd is actually paying attention to the band and not trying to record them.

[@AnthonyKellett]

'Under a Blood Red Sky' is one of the great albums.

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

When U2 was first premiered on MTV in 1982 with this song, I told my friends who were metal heads that they would be the biggest band on the planet! They laughed at me.. they said no way.. Ozzy or Metallica.. and I said no.. I'm telling you I'm right and later on down the road you can remember that I was right.. and I was! LOL.. I knew it the minute I heard them.. I should have been in PR...Thanks Rory!

Goo Goo dolls - Iris. Good follow up for this

[@bminturn]

U2 earned it's following the hard way. Those guys put on great live shows up to and through "The Joshua Tree" and it was on the road that they built their little empire. Great live act.

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

This is one of my all time fav songs from U2... my nephew and his wife were at this concert at Red Rocks in Colorado. I didn't get to go but I would have loved to! I saw them later in Phoenix AZ for the U2 Zoo TV tour bus tour.. I got a ticket on the bus and it was phenomenal!! Thanks Rory!!

[@natmanprime4295]

great stuff great stuff!! everything they touched was magic during this time

[@benshafer5198]

Joshua Tree was a great LP, and most believe it was their apex, but I love me some early U2. Boy, October & War was a fantastic opening trilogy from them and this gig was their classic early US gig that put them in the spotlight over here. Didn't see them myself until '91, but lot of passion in the early days with these boys 🔥

[@LydellC]

Totally agree. They were amazing when I saw them in 83 at a midsize concert hall venue (I think that was still the War tour) and again for Unforgettable Fire, by which point they were already doing stadiums. 🔥

[@josiepkat]

@@LydellC Holy crap! You saw them in 83!!!! WOW. I only saw them once, in the 90s, 1992 - maybe Yankee Stadium and from the nosebleeds. They were still great but WOW. Lucky lucky girl! I think from 80-83 in America, most that knew them probably did through college radio. As a kid in Ohio I wouldn't have heard them if it wasn't for MTV in late 82/83 because it was hard for bands to break into American radio. Everything was standard middle of the road rock until MTV changed that. Especially if you didn't live in LA or NYC.

[@LydellC]

@@josiepkat - Yup. I went to a tiny Detroit area Ukrainian Catholic school with kids whose older brothers and sisters were OG punk rockers. (Wally Palmer, the lead singer from the Romantics, went there too, a few yrs earlier 😄) Learned about a ton of great music from them, some before it even got local college station air play.

[@jacquesjrviens3384]

Check out, from that same concert, 11 O'clock tick tock !!!! One of their best from that era and I was never able to find a studio version of it so I guess that's it.

[@CarolynLuvsElvisForever0910]

You’re hilarious lol! “ he’s a solid lump now”😂 I grew up on U2. They were my favorite band, and I was in love with Bono, the majority of my life. You’re right he did have a femininity about him. A boyish charm. U2 was the biggest band in the world for three decades. Now I’m obsessed with Elvis.😁

[@Zennofobic]

i'm not religious but I love music celebrating someone's faith and beliefs... got the various "Gloria"s done by Vivaldi and Handel and I love deeply spiritual reggae music like Steel Pulse and Tenor Saw

[@MorganMontyMcKeown]

Gloria in te Domini Gloria exulta te

[@josiepkat]

I think once you've been famous for SOOOOOO long - you kind of lose yourself, I think that's what people's crit of U2 is - I just literally mean that being that famous its inevitable to lose touch with the world everyone else lives in? THAT SAID. They ARE an absolutely BRILLIANT band. Usually its non singles on albums like Unforgettable Fire that are great. Even when people felt they sold out (yes as early as 1987) - which I don't think they did at that point - there is some truly profound music being made. Bono just channels a kind of divine energy when he performs and you totally see and feel it here, like Freddie Mercury just different music, That whole audience feels it and are responding - and yeah, it's religious in it's own way. This is an amazing song and performance. I've heard this live version millions of times but haven't seen that video for a while. They're SO YOUNG.

[@laurawatters914]

SOOOO FREAKIN YOUNG!! I LOVE THE EARLY U2. I FORGOT WHAT YEAR THEY TOOK A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND SOUNDED MORE POPPY OR TECHNO, I LOSS INTERESTED. LOOK AT THE EDGE SOO YOUNG, I LOVE THE EDGE 🎸🔥🔥🔥🥁🔥🔥 LOVE BONO VOCALS.THERE WHOLE BAND SO MUCH ENERGY!! AWESOME REACTION RORY 💙 AND THANK YOU ZENNOFOBIC FOR THIS INCREDIBLE REQUEST!! 😊💓🤘✌️

[@Zennofobic]

yw :) yeah this is U2 in their prime. Last album I bought was Joshua Tree

[@michaeldidio1394]

You should react to 11oclock tick live at red rocks 1983.

[@JamesDimond-l7u]

Pre 84 🎉

[@LydellC]

@Zennofobic - nice one 😊 I always felt bad for Larry Mullen not getting the shoutout from Bono here along with Adam and the Edge 😄 Looking back at Bono now, ok...he's a bit physically awkward. But it worked. Especially in a stadium.

[@Zennofobic]

imagine hanging out with Bono and Edge and being invited to learn bass and play with the band, talk about right place and time for Adam 😋

[@jacquesjrviens3384]

Bro, this is 1983.... Nothing too masculine about that era :P.
