U2 Live at Red Rocks.

Sat here watching Live at Red Rocks.Can't believe it's thirty one years old.Absolutely loved this back then as a fifteen year old and the sole reason I got into guitar.I know The Edge has his knockers but it's his rawness that just adds to the whole experience.He's actually IMO an excellent rhythm guitarist.

Haven't seen it in years (I've got the VHS somewhere). Brilliant from what I remember.

Used to live and breathe the VHS of Red Rocks..BIG part of my early guitar interest.

That reminds me, I must dig out the CD/DVD version that came out a while back, that features a few songs that weren't on the original VHS..:
Under a Blood Red Sky Reissue



EDIT: For anyone who hasn't seen it, I would heartily recommend the live in Paris show that came with the Joshua Tree deluxe reissue a few years back - It's a show from towards the very start of the Joshua Tree tour, a tour by the end of which the band were stadium eating behemoths, but in this early show there is definitely some of the reserve and naivity of the Red Rocks show in evidence.
A fascinating insight into how much the band has changed as they have come into their own, so to speak, IMO.

I didn't know The Edge had knockers.

Does he keep them taped up?

That would make three tits in the band.

Wisdon for Dave. I love that DVD (well apart from Bono's "I thought there were enough tears in this song" ab lib when they have to halt "With or Without You")

Search on youtube for U2 Live in Paris 1987 there's a few clips there.

Got to say, respect due.  Loved U2 from the word go and they went from strength to strength.  Sure a few duds on the way, but for sheer chutzpah and persistence they are up there with the greats and deserve everything they have earned.

I saw U2 at the beginning of the tour for The Unforgettable Fire in the Manchester Apollo. As a basic rock band without all the stadium stuff they came up with for The Joshua Tree tour they were spellbinding. Bono was trying so hard to get the message across (whatever it was) and the rest of the band were in each other's pockets. I'm so glad I saw them then as well as the stadium version of the band.

Magnificent live album, that - Electric Co and Gloria are my fave tunes from it.
