We will plan them on different dates and times to accommodate as many fans as possible. Every liveshow will also have a rotating host, which will be crew members and fans such as yourself. If you want to host one, let us know!

    Comments:
    An energetic festival performance from U2 from the War tour took place in August 1983. Quite some snippets were sung during this show, in particular in Surrender which featured 3 snippets. This is also the first time U2 snippeted "America" in a song (The Electric Co.). This show was broadcasted on TV and is available in good quality, a very great gem from the War era!

  2. This was one of the first shows I ever downloaded in video (before Youtube even existed, Oh My!) and I have fond memories of it. It's just an hour long and it doesn't feature many of these years staples (like the killer Threw A Brick / A Day Without Me combo), but oh man what a show. They must have known it was being broadcast or something because the energy was unreal. They even managed to engage with that reluctant and cold festival audience!
  3. this was one of the first shows that I ever recorded on tv with or VHS
  4. for me best concerts are red rocks colorado, tuf and slane castle for elevation tour
  5. I still wonder how Bono managed to get up somewhere high up in the back. The camera sees him taking a white flag on a pole and like a minute later we see him climbing a ladder in the back...

    Magic
  6. I saw this show on German TV. The beginning of my fandomship of U2.

  8. perhaps this is common knowledge, but most people will already have part of this show at home: five out of eight tracks on the UABRS album are recordings from the German TV registration of this concert - courtesy of WDR's Rockpalast.

    I used to have a video tape recording of the TV transmission, as well as a tape of the full radio broadcast, needless to say, I wore out both tapes.
  9. Remember watching when I was younger on YouTube, great show!
  10. This Sunday, a U2start liveshow broadcast of this show, with a brand new audio recording from a recent re-broadcast of this show in Germany
  11. Sounds fantastic.. but I'm in Away in Valencia for the weekend. Will It be on showreel, so I can listen again? I know I will miss the chat but love to hear.
  12. This show was recently re-broadcasted on German TV
