a live album...

Under a Blood Red Sky is a live album released in 1983. It helped establish U2's reputation as a remarkable live band. It consists of live recordings from three shows on the band's War tour. Although billed as "live from Red Rocks", only two of the tracks on the disc were recorded there.

 

Highlights include a fiery rendition of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (famously introduced by Bono with the words, "this is not a rebel song") and a jaunty run-through of the B-side "Party Girl" (played sloppily but enthusiastically in the pouring rain).

 

An accompanying concert film of the same name was also released at the same time as the album. Unlike the album, it was recorded entirely at the dramatic outdoor Red Rocks Amphitheatre on June 5, 1983.

"Gloria" (live from Red Rocks)

This is Gloria

2-3-4-4

Get up, up, all up

When I try to sing this song

I try to stand up but I can't find my feet

I try, I try to speak up but only in you I'm complete

Gloria in te domine

Gloria exultate

Gloria

Gloria

Oh, Lord, loosen my lips

Loosen them

When I try to sing this song

I try to get in but I can't find the door

The door is open, you're standing there, you let me in

Gloria in te domine

Gloria exultate

Oh, Lord, if I had anything, anything at all

I'd give it to you

I, well I'd give it to you

To you

Give it to you

Up, up, up, up, up, up

Up, up, up, up, up

Hey, this is Red Rocks

Adam Clayton

This is the Edge

Up, up, up

Gloria

In te domine

"11 O'Clock Tick Tock" (live from Boston '83)

It's cold outside, it gets so hot in here

The boys and girls collide to the music in my ear

I hear the children crying and I know it's time to go

I hear the children crying, take me home

A painted face and I know we haven't long

We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong

I hear the children crying and I know it's time to go

I hear the children crying, take me home

Sad song sad song

Sad song sad song

Sad song sad song

Sad song sad song

 

 

"I Will Follow" (live from Germany)

Ladies and gentlemen

Let me tell you, I will follow

I was on the outside when you said

You said you needed me

I was looking at myself

I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man

His mother takes him by his hand

If he stops to think

He starts to cry, oh why

If you walk away walk away

I walk away walk away

I will follow

If you walk away walk away

I walk away walk away

I will follow

I was on the inside

When they pulled the four walls down

I was looking through the window

I was lost, I am found

If you walk away walk away

I walk away walk away

I will follow

If you walk away walk away

I walk away walk away

I will follow

Your eyes make a circle

I see you when I go in there

But it's your eyes

But it's your eyes

But it's your eyes

Your eyes

If you walk away walk away

I walk away walk away

I will follow

If you walk away walk away

I walk away walk away

I will follow

I will follow

I will follow

I will follow

I will

I will

I will

 

 

"Trash, Trampoline, and the Party Girl" (live from Red Rocks)

This is a song called Party Girl

I know a girl

A girl called Party, Party Girl

I know she wants more than a party, Party Girl

And she won't tell me her name

Oh no, not me

I know a boy

A boy called Trash, Trash Can

I know he does all that he can, wham bam

And she won't tell me his name

It's our hero

When I was three

I thought the world revolved around me

I was wrong and so I sing along

And if you dance, then dance with me

I know a girl

A girl called Party, Party Girl

I know she wants more than a party, Party Girl

I know a boy

A boy called Trampoline

You know what I mean

I think I know what he wants

I think I know what he wants

I think I know what she wants

I think I know what she wants

I think I know what you want

I think I know what she wants

I think I know what he wants

Well thank you

 

 

"Sunday Bloody Sunday" (live from Germany)

There's been a lot of talk about this next song, maybe, maybe too much talk. This is not a rebel song. This song is Sunday Bloody Sunday.

I can't believe the news today

I can't close my eyes and make it go away

How long, how long must we sing this song

How long, how long

Tonight we can be as one, tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet

And bodies strewn across a dead end street

But I won't heed the battle call

Puts my back up, my back up against the wall

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Alright

And the battle's just begun,

There's many lost but tell me who has won

The trenches dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song

How long, how long

Tonight we can be as one

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight

Here, give it up, two, up

Wipe your tears away

Wipe your tears away

Wipe your tears away

Wipe your tears away

Sunday bloody Sunday

Wipe your tears away

Sunday bloody Sunday

Wipe your tears away

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

I'm so sick of it

Give it up, wrap it up, two, up

And it's true we are immune

When fact is fiction and T.V. reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

Sunday bloody Sunday

The real battle just begun

Sunday bloody Sunday

To claim the victory Jesus won

On a Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday

 

 

"The Electric Co." (live from Germany)

Somebody cry, somebody cry

Somebody cry

Won't somebody try, somebody try

Somebody try something quick

Don't you look back, don't you look back

Don't you look back

Will somebody cry, somebody cry

Somebody cry

Well, I can't see why or what for

What for, what for

Break it up

Boy, stupid boy

Don't sit at the table until you're able to

Toy, broken toy

You shout and shout till you're inside out

If you don't know

Electric Co.

If you don't know

Electric Co.

Alright

Red, running red

You play for real, take your feel

Hold your head

You don't shout, you're spoon fed

Till you don't know

Electric Co.

Till you don't know

Electric Co.

Break it up

I love the crowd

Lift me up

If you don't know

Electric Co.

If you don't know

Electric Co.

If you don't know

Electric Co.

If you don't know

Electric Co.

 

 

"New Year's Day" (live from Germany)

All is quiet on New Year's day

A world in white gets underway

I want to be with you, be with you night and day

Nothing changes on New Year's day

On New Year's day

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

Under a blood-red sky

A crowd has gathered in black and white

Arms entwined, the chosen few

The newspaper says, says

Say it's true, it's true

And we can break through

Though torn in two we can be one

I will begin again

I will begin again

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

 

 

"40" (live from Germany)

Sing this with me, this is "40"

I waited patiently for the Lord

He inclined and heard my cry

He lift me up out of the pit

Out of the miry clay

I will sing, sing a new song

I will sing, sing a new song

How long to sing this song

How long to sing this song

How long, how long, how long

How long to sing this song

He set my feet upon a rock

And made my footsteps firm

Many will see, many will see and hear

I will sing, sing a new song

I will sing, sing a new song

Sing it

How long to sing this song

How long to sing this song

How long, how long, how long

How long to sing this song

Thank you, goodnight
