U2 - Under A Blood Red Sky - LP - 180g Vinyl

War turned U2 into arena rock stars, and the 8 Track Mini LP Under a Blood Red Sky captures the band on its supporting tour as the band members adjusted to their larger audiences. Unsurprisingly for a band that always favoured the grand statement, the group flourished in such a setting, as this mini-LP attests. Comprised of material recorded in America and Germany, Under a Blood Red Sky draws equally from the band's first three albums, and these live versions, while less textured, are considerably tougher than their studio counterparts and illustrate quite effectively why U2 were considered one of the best, most exhilarating live bands of the '80s.
