AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Manus-McFadden Love this piece of musical history. Where my love affair with this fantastic band started all those years ago. 'The rain's great.'

Paul I watched this last night for the first time in about 10 years (since I only have it on VHS), and it was as magical as I remembered. The magic starts with the setting - a misty evening at a unique concert venue (Red Rocks) carved out of the mountains outside of Denver, Colorado - with torches burning all around, spotlights cutting through the mist, and hordes of soaking wet fans waving Irish flags. And then of course there is the music - spanning U2's first 3 albums: Boy (1980), October (1981) and War (1983) along with a couple tracks that are not available on studio albums. The performance is beautiful and melodic, yet as raw and urgent as the rain beating down. Certain moments stand out for me - Bono climbing on top of part of the rocks during "Electric Co" (a still photo of which is featured on the cover). The Edge playing both piano and guitar nearly-simultaneously on "New Year's Day"... The final song "40", where the band has left the stage other than Larry Mullen Jr continuing to beat the drums, as the crowd continues to sing the final lines. I get chills at least 5 times during the show. This is transcendent stuff for U2 fans, and probably amazing even if you are not a fan.

beuren U2 does an early concert at Red Rocks in Colorado. The concert was almost canceled due to rain and low temperatures. The concert went on because they were ready to do a bunch of filming and had sunk so much time and money into it. The result added fog to the mix of location and great music and it made magic.This concert video might well had not been so good without all things including the fog, coming together. Not as polished as later efforts, but you can see a future headliner even at this point in time.They need to get this video out onto DVD in region 1.Worth a rental and a buy

triple8 SPOILERS THROUGHOUT: Any U2 fan who has not seen this, is missing a little known treasure. I have watched U2 live at red rocks more times then I can count. It was made long before U2 were ever as big as they are now. It features more of their early music and it takes place at The Red Rocks. It is absolutely electrifying.I was so into this concert I think it spoiled me for "Rattle and Hum". Live At Red Rocks features, not only some of the best music of U2'S career, it illustrates the almost indescribable chemistry that exists between the band members and the charisma that they bring to their live performances. It clearly shows why they became one of the biggest bands in the world. And it does this in a way "Rattle and Hum", at least in my opinion, never really managed to do.The concert footage is fast paced, haunting, and almost dizzying in the sheer electricity that echos throughout. Live At Red Rocks is one of the most extraordinary concerts I've ever seen and could make a U2 fan out of even the most skeptical of viewers. Take a watch if you haven't and lose yourself to some of the most haunting rock music ever created.
