"Under a Blood Red Sky" is the best g*****n f*****g live rock album ever.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

There, I've said it. Flame me if you will. See if I care.

[jimbo fett]

1. I agree. I like most of U2's (older) live albums.

I stopped buying their stuff when they came out with Achtung Baby.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. I actually think Pop was good, but...

...it was kind of another band. The raw, furious, almost adolescent rock'n'roll virtuoses at one side, and at the other side... well, pop.

[Loonman]

2. Yes, it is

When are they going to put that on DVD?


The full concert kicks major ass.

[TheBlob]

3. Wow! You've got balls

Praising U2 in the 21st Century is a definite 'cool-kids' no no.

By the way, I've loved UABRS for the past 20 years.

;-)

[NWHarkness]

5. It's OK

I wouldn't put it in the same league as Dylan and the Band's Before The Flood or the Clash's From Here To Eternity.

[Westegg]

6. It's a good album, but...

I've got better U2 boots from later in their career. The "Zoo TV" tour of Europe, in particular, resulted in some truly mind-blowing live recordings.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

17. I have a bootleg of that as well

It was recorded in Rotterdam in late '91
It's a 3 disc set and I paid $75 for it and worth every penny!!

[Redleg]

7. Good album but no "Live at Leeds"

Which is the greatest live rock album. Now the "deluxe" version of Live at Leeds is out, it is even better.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Do you mean Martyn Stubbs?

Or The Who?

[Redleg]

28. I mean the Who!

I didn't even know there was another Live at Leeds.

[Westegg]

10. What's even better than "Live At Leeds"...

...is the bootleg version on the Midas Touch label. NO EDITS!

22. quit reminding me

I'm on a budget. I don't want to be reminded there is a deluxe version of Live at Leeds. I bought the vinyl when it came out & 10 years later noticed I didn't have any other Who albums -- the reason?
Live at Leeds was so awesome, I hadn't needed any others!

[Red_Storm]

9. great live album but...........

not even close to being the greatest one ever.......that would be .........Hendrix @ Fillmore.........

[CanuckAmok]

11. No, the best live rock album ever is a tie between:

Cheap Trick's "Live at Budokan"

and

"James Chance and the Contortions Live aux Baines Douches"


nothing comes close to these.

[Squeegee]

12. Great album...

Unfortunately the band has become a kind of parody of its former self. :-(

[BlackVelvetElvis]

19. A parody-can you explain?

I'd love to hear your point of view.

[MrSlayer]

13. Never Heard "How The West Was Won" huh?

Live Zeppelin crushes.

[BL_Zebub]

16. A most unholy album, but not really all that live.

John Bonham sat in my office in Hell and pointed out each and every overdub on that recording. You would be truly shocked. Compare it with Zeppelin boots from the same era if you won't believe the Devil :evilgrin:

[Westegg]

20. Here's to me Sweet Satan!

You're right, you devil. I've got both the L.A. and Long Beach shows from '72. Still, HTWWW is hot stuff, despite the editing.

[Westegg]

18. Zeppelin tramples under foot...

[ZenLefty]

14. Blasphemy!

[BL_Zebub]

15. Never mind the album

When the HELL is the Red Rocks DVD coming out??

And I mean the entire show, not that butchered up joke that was the later editions of the VHS video.

[reprehensor]

21. Um.....NO!

You've obviously never heard Cheap Trick at Budokan, my dear boy.

*never let your wife type on your computer - that's not me, that's fudge stripe cookays*

[CanuckAmok]

23. Yay, an ally! "Budokan" is such a brilliant record,

regardless of one's opinion of Cheap Trick. It's a perfect historical archive, and the energy and the cultural exchange are second to none!

[BL_Zebub]

25. So who here, besides the Devil, picked up the 2 CD version of Budokan?

Re released a few years ago, it's supposedly the entire concert. Great album, but it's really too bad that Cheap Trick started making all the sellout cheese ballads soon after that.

[CanuckAmok]

26. I still like "The Dream Police"

Overproduction sometimes works!

It was all downhill from there.

I used to have a 10" "NuDisk" (remember those) called "Found all the Parts". It was a collection of early B-sides, and it was very good!

[fudge stripe cookays]

27. I had a friend who worked for Sony...

so I actually got a promo copy!

[CanuckAmok]

24. I should add that I used to think "Stop Making Sense" was the best...

...until I read about how much postproduction polish went into the finished product.

Then I was really disillusioned.
