that's good to know. I can have another drink at dinner without worrying that they're coming on stage exactly at 7:30. thanks.

We can criticize these guys all we want (and most of it is deserved (and God, can I do without the preaching)). But at the end of the day, they're still some of the best entertainers in music. They put on a hell of a show tonight.

Great to see this getting more play this tour

Glad you enjoyed it. Did you notice improved sound with the 'distributed ceiling system' setup?

I was there tonight too -- way up high in the upper bowl. I actually thought there were multiple occasions where the sound felt "off" -- Edge's guitar a little too quiet, weird mixing things, etc. Not major stuff, and I think part of it is just that, for a band with such a huge sound, you forget that they're really just (instrumentally) a trio. But I didn't notice anything special about the sound -- it still sounded like a big rock band being piped through an expensive sound system in a basketball arena.

It was a fantastic show, though -- great visuals, and strong performance. I was really happy to hear "Angel of Harlem."

"11 O'Clock Tick Tock" is one of my favorite U2 songs.

I've seen good reviews of this tour which kinda make me regret not buying tickets.

Then I look at the setlists and notice all those new songs.

Bump for bada. Not a generic U2 thread but

Anyone know if there are any mp3 or flac floating around of the Red Rocks Live show? Not the Under The Blood Red Sky album the actual Red Rocks show. As far as I know it was never released on CD. Thought maybe someone ripped the audio from a DVD or something and it's floating around

June 5, 1983. Denver, CO. Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Sound Quality:
Excellent broadcast.


[Mick McGuigan]: This was broadcast on FM Radio in Colorado in or around November 83 and I believe that this particular bootleg is a
recording of that broadcast ? „I Threw A Brick Through A Window“ and „A Day Without Me“ were omitted from the broadcast and so
they were probably added to the end.
This is the original pressing on this label.

U2 is also currently in Paris. I'm wondering if their concert is going to happen tomorrow, given all that's happening inside the city tonight.

They should do it.

They already cancelled it.

Not enough time for Bono to rehearse new political sanctimony
