Free Music Notes for Under a Blood Red Sky
Free Music Review: Great live record!
Hit: 5 Stars
U2's 'Under A Blood Red Sky' is a superb live record from U2. It's one of the best live records of the '80s in my opinion. The eight songs here are all essential for any U2 fan. This is a must-own for any U2 lover.
But, I do have a few things to say for the U2 collector.
-First, not all of the songs here were recorded at Red Rocks, making this more of a live album than a soundtrack to a film. These were all taken during three stops on the 'War' tour. Only two were recorded at Red Rocks, and those were 'Gloria' and 'Party Girl.' 'I Will Follow,' 'Electric Co.,' 'New Year's Day,' 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and '40' were all recorded in Germany, and '11 O' Clock Tick Tock' was recorded in Boston. All were recorded in 1983.
-The second is more of a note to collectors than casual fans. 'The Electric Co.' has a snippit chopped off. Bono sings 'Send In The Clowns' in the middle of the song, and because of copyright issues, Island was forced to remove the song from the CD release. This won't bother casual U2 fans, but for die-hards like me, it is a tad annoying.
If you collect bootlegs like I do, you probably have the whole Red Rocks show and the full version of 'Electric Co.' that was featured on the vinyl.
But still, despite that one flaw about the edited version of 'The Electric Co.,' this is a superb live album. One of the best from U2.
Highly recommended. A must-listen live album. ENJOY!!!
Under a Blood Red Sky Poster
There seem to be two major camps of U2 fans now: Those who dig the early albums (good and sensible people), and those who only like the ones from the '90s, putting everything previous down as "classic rock." But U2 only became a classic rock sort of band in 1984, with The Unforgettable Fire. The real early stuff, from '80 to '83, still comes off as edgy--and it's comparatively ignored. Here's a sampler: Under a Blood Red Sky is from a U.S. tour (1983's) in which U2 still thought of itself as a hungry little band from Ireland--and draws (fairly wisely) from the band's first three albums. There's nary a misstep on the entire disc, although it could stand a few more tracks. --Gavin McNettAlternative Rock Music CDs
