Under A Blood Red Sky (1983, Island Records)
As if there was any doubt about their credentials by that time, U2 provided the exclamation point on their 1983 live album Under A Blood Red Sky. Proving themselves an unparalleled live act cemented their status as the next great rock and roll great band, and they’ve been fulfilling that promise for the last 25 years. But does this live album still live up to its reputation? Only the song-by-song album review can answer that question. Side 1
“Gloria”
“11 O’Clock Tick Tock” “I Will Follow” “Party Girl”
Side 2
“Sunday Bloody Sunday”
“Electric Co.” “New Year’s Day” “40” You should be able to tell by the ratings that there isn’t a lot of flab on this classic. It still holds up as the most fabled live document of one of the premiere concert bands of all time.
