They were supposed to play Pride but run out of time! Geldof had 2 rules for every performer, no fans allowed on stage and no artists allowed into the crowd. Bono isn’t one to follow the rules.

Yup. And Under a Blood Red Sky…well maybe I just feel a connection to it because it’s something my dad shared with me. He claims it ‘launched their career’. Honestly I could care less how they started. You know they’re good because they’re still here today! And boy am I glad of that!

Good point, Shade. Live Aid aired once and Under A Blood Red Sky aired for years on several channels. This was really early in the day, long before most tuned in and only some of who did would have caught the wave. The Amnesty tour did at least as much for the band as Live Aid. Yet, it was merely potential energy and didn’t become kinetic (global musical force) until the release of the Joshua Tree.

Well… I still prefer Red Rocks an Rattle and Hum. I would give a piece of my heart to see u2 live. My uncle told me stories about the concert he went to an Arizona… Oh well. I’ll find some way to get the money to go to the concert they’ll have at Qwest eventually!

Red Rocks cemented them in MTV America/Europe by video and album. Live Aid grabbed the entire world’s attention via live TV and they were forever ingrained in its consciousness. “What are they going to do next?” Oh yes! Joshua Tree. Awesome moment. Thanks for posting this. And the reminder.

I always thought it was Red Rocks that put them on the map -I still do- but your inclined to your own opinion
