U2 UNDER A BLOOD RED SK

Description

U2: The Edge (vocals, guitar, piano); Bono (vocals); Adam Clayton (bass); Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums).Recorded live in Denver, Boston and West Germany on the 1983 “War” tour.By the time of this 1983 live EP, U2 had emerged as the socio-politically conscious, self-determined saviors of rock & roll, their passion, musical power and sheer youthful exuberance making them rock idols to countless young (and some not-so-young) fans. This live document shows the ability of the band (particulary the zealous, proselytic Bono) to fire up a crowd with their earnest, anthemic approach. Early U2 classics like “Gloria,” “I Will Follow” and the rabble-rousing terrorism protest “Sunday Bloody Sunday” are neighbored with fun obscurities like “Party GIrl” (complete with endearingly awkward guitar solo) and the moody “The Electric Co.” As a final gesture of solidarity with his audience/congregation, rock & roll preacher Bono engages them in a spiritually tinged singalong on “40.”
