Captured at Red Rocks: Photos from U2’s Legendary ConcertBy
G. Wigler
On a cold, wet June night in 1983 at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre, U2 proved why they were the greatest band on the planet. Braving the harsh elements, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. tore through a set of 18 anthems with a fire and passion that only U2 can achieve. This now legendary show was filmed and subsequently beamed to millions of people through their TV sets. The rest is history. With a wet camera in a sea of screaming fans, acclaimed photographer, G. Wigler, captured the glory of that historic concert.

Yes, it does seem like only yesterday… and absolutely some of their best music! KFL said:
Notice how the title assumes U2 is legendary. Only time will tell, but I’m betting that they don’t stand the test of time. Jacob Grossi said:

We booed them off the stage in Kansas City, Arrowhead stadium, 1981. S said:
Well, considering they’ve been going strong for 30 years, I think time is speaking pretty clearly, KFL. Phil E. Drifter said:
