 WOW! January 18, 2001

My title says it all. I've been a U2 fan for almost 20 years, but sad to say I'd never seen the footage from this concert or this video. As many other reviewers have noticed, there are no special effects, etc. Just plenty of youthful energy and enthusiasm, as well as a lot of fantastic tunes - this was when U2's music really had something to say. It doesn't get any better than this...
A Hidden Gem...A True Treasure Indeed!!! May 12, 2002

OK, first of all, this was filmed waaaayyy back in 1983 - which means primitive picture quality (for us DVD freaks!!!) and goofy hair & clothes (heh, heh!!!) but hey, it was the 80's!!!. That said, what a concert!!! Being a diehard U2 fan - I have all of their CD's, 2 DVD's, and 2 videotapes..."Under A Blood Red Sky" on VHS...Bono and the lads connected that good with audiences!!! Like I said, despite the picture quality and goofy 80's hair & clothes (good for a few laughs, though!), WOW!!!Here's a full track listing: Surrender, Seconds, Sunday Bloody Sunday, The Electric Co. (unlisted track), October, New Year's Day, I Threw A Brick Through A Window, A Day Without Me, Gloria, Party Girl, 11 O' Clock Tick Tock, I Will Follow, 40...
The only concert video I'll ever buy October 14, 2002

Like many children of the 80s, I first saw this concert on MTV, back when they used to show entire concerts LIVE every Saturday evening. This was an awesome compilation of their earlier works, played in a drizzling rain with just an incredible vibe coming through the TV.
I think anyone looking to see U2's progression from College Rock favorite to Super Group to Mega-Stardom should see this video, as it really sums up their first three albums and is sort of a break before their next work, the Unforgettable Fire, which was their first album that really crossed over to mainstream radio (or maybe mainstream radio moved a bit toward the college alternative). Whatever--this is definitely a milestone in the history of the band.
Hardcore fans will notice that many of the tracks, like Gloria and Bloody Sunday are played quite a bit faster in this concert than the studio tracks. I personally like them better that way.
The CD of this concert was issued back when CD's must have had some storage problems, so some of the ad-lib lyrics added in songs like Electric Company and Party Girl can be heard on this video I think (and the LP) but not on the CD due to some copyright issues.
I haven't seen all that many concerts in my life, but I think if you ask anyone for one of the most important concerts of the 80s they will mention Live from Red Rocks. I have a tape of this concert, but am just dying for a DVD release. It is the one and only concert video I'll ever buy, if it comes to DVD.
The REAL U2 February 5, 1999

No hype, no computers, no monster video screens, no latex covered dancing girls, just Bono and crew playing in the rain, back when their songs meant so much more. If you like the U2 of late, you will love the pre sold-my-soul to the corporate sponsors version of the band.
The Genesis Of a Legend... January 17, 1999

It is indeed a great look into the earlier stages of U2, without a lot of the industry special affects and hype. However, a "true U2 Fan" also has to appreciate how they have evolved into the world's greatest rock band, and have the ability and sanction to make masterpieces such as seen in Rattle and Hum, Zoo TV, and PopMart. Under a Blood Red Sky captures the boys before they become men... Great video!
