U2 Red Rocks
Lots of people speculated whether U2 were going to make an appearance at Red Rocks for the 25th anniversary. It’s not going to happen (but if it does, it would be pretty sweet) but we get the remastered version of the remastered version DVD . I’ve been looking for an excuse to post something about the remastered albums that they’ve just released and as much as many people love to hate on Bono , the music speaks for itself. Their were no frills in the first couple of albums, just some crazy Irish kids going crazy on stage and discovering their identities along the way.
U2 RELEASE “LIVE AT RED ROCKS” (FIRST TIME ON DVD WITH BONUS MATERIAL) AND REMASTERED “UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY”
U2’s first concert video, Live At Red Rocks, will be released on DVD by Interscope/Island/UME on September 30, 2008 in the U.S., along with the accompanying live album, Under a Blood Red Sky.
Recorded at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on 5th June 1983, Live at Red Rocks will be available for the first time on DVD, and will include 5 previously unreleased songs, a director’s commentary, digitally re-graded pictures and a 5.1 mix.
The remastered Under a Blood Red Sky album was originally released in November 1983, and consists of live recordings from three shows on the band’s War Tour through Europe and America.
A deluxe version featuring the Under a Blood Red Sky CD and the Live At Red Rocks DVD will be available, as well as single disc formats of the CD and DVD. An LP version of Under a Blood Red Sky pressed on 180gm virgin vinyl will also be released.
