Before they were superstars
Finally, this classic concert movie is on DVD, along with the mini album that captures U2's War tour wonderfully. The DVD includes the other songs from their famed Red Rocks concert in Denver Colorado in 1983 which were not on the original VHS tape, but that were on a widely circulated bootleg of the show. This concert,even though the crowd was cut in half due to the cold and rainy weather, was a landmark show that put U2 on the national map in much the same way that their Live Aid performance in 1985 catapulted them on their way to super stardom. This show captures them at that point when they were transitioning themselves into a major rock act, showcasing their talent of bringing the audience close together and to them on the stage. They were still honing their sound and their playing, and the sheer emotion of this performance is set against the eerie fog and cold of the evening. Highlights of this DVD are New Years Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Threw a Brick Through a Window, and Electric Company. It had their trademark ending song of 40, which is base on the 40th Psalm. Great band, great DVD and CD. If you are just getting into U2's more recent stuff, you need to listen to this to get a feel of where they have come from.

Really 4.5 because of the CD - but this is really nice
This DVD is really well done - no frills, the focus was just on the sight and sound, and the result is excellent. It has a really nice hardcover book format in a thick hard slipcase. Great booklet. The only disappointment in this particular package is that the CD wasn't expanded. If you love this music, you only need to decide whether you want this or just the DVD.

U2 Early Years
If you have seen the tape Version of this then you know what you can expect. Only that this is clearly the better Sound and picture quality. Sure you can see that this is an old recording but the Sound Quality is amazing. This set is for every U2 fan out there a must have.

MY INTRODUCTION TO U2...
"Under A Blood Red Sky" was my introduction to live U2 about 25 years ago. I had a copy of a copy that was passed around in my circle of friends, we used to actually fight over who was going to get it next and for how long. Since then I've been a huge U2 fan and will be for life. U2's music (especially live) has inspired me in many ways. U2 is truely one of the most unique bands to have ever played and to still be playing live. I highly recomend this live performance. It is awe inspiring to say the least. Go out and get some U2!
