    Hahaha, I kinda knew Electric Co. sounded familiar somehow!
  2. 1983-08-20 - St. Goarshausen, Germany - Loreley Amphitheater

    This is also a video review of Loreley Video, posted originally by myself

    Sound and Image

    Not as good as I first remember. Edge is nowhere at times (Out of Control most notably). On the plus side though Adam's bass is quite prominent and Bono's vocals filter through very nicely. The video is excellent, consider the age and it's astounding. Nice colors, only minor pixlelation during crowd shots. The only fault I could see was the spotlight trails during moving shots but I think these kinda looked cool.

    Audio - 7.5
    Video - 9

    Performance

    I have read that this was U2's first live televised performance but I think they battle any nerves quite well. Bono does look a little uncomfortable at times but I put it down to the crowd (quite cold and scary looking. I assumed that they were waiting for some heavy metal bands). The overall performance is hard to knock considering the fact that 80% of the material on Under A Blood Red Sky came from this gig. I didn;t like that it took the band quote a few songs before we actually heard anything from War but when we did it was a breath of fresh air. Kudos to Bono for trying to get the crowd involved (jumping into them, throwing himself about, dancing with girls, going walkies etc) thou he does look like a tit away in the distance during The Electric Co. with the crowd barely noticing him. He did most of this with little return from the audience but fair play.

    8/10

    Overall

    Get the audio, get the video. Hard to fault really considering it's UABRS status. It was interesting to note other peoples reviews and lack of standout moments. If you heard SBS from UABRS you would say it was awesome but when listening hear it sounds little above average for that era. Funny how views can change on a performance when heard in much better quality with a few minor edits. Overall though it's a pretty great show and video and a nice memento of the tour

    8/10 overall.

    PS : What a cool venue that was. Very scenic.
  3. I actually got more into songs like Twilight and Surrender with this boot, than songs such as SBS and I Will Follow. These songs have sparked more interest here than the slightly more popular.

    the War songs did give this song more life. Surrender was my top pick from the gig

    Surrender was a close 2nd for me. My top pick would be Seconds.

    I downloaded from the links here, U2Start's bootlegs page. It's missing BD. Where will you download it from? I just suggested you to reupload the show with BD in it and change the link on the bootlegs page...
