New Year's Day, U2, Live at Red Rocks

 I have talked about this concert before, though I am not sure that clip is still available.  I was at this show in May of 1983.  If I slow the DVD I have down, I can see people I graduated with in the front row.  It really was a great concert.  The Divinyls and the Alarm were supposed to open for them (they took the place of Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, who I had really wanted to see) but the weather stopped those bands from showing up.  I wish I had seen both of them, now.

U2- Gloria

I'm so used to this version of the song that I add the live bits in when I listen to the studio version. I bought the album "Under a Blood Red Sky" which had the images of Red Rocks (where this video was taped) but it only had two cuts from the Red Rocks show. kind of annoying at the time. why? I was at this show, and I wanted the entire show on vinyl, or at least all 8 songs.
