  1. I just meant that in a sense it is. Like, Red Rocks was the huge show and this show is "almost like" a rehearsal. They performed a lot of the same songs, but Red Rocks was THE show. So it's not a big miss if I don't have that show. That's all I meant.

    Yes, but did Red Rocks have a crazy-looking German dude in the crowd drinking out of a gas can?

    I didn't think so.

    I still dont get you as such. Red Rocks at the time of this show was a show that caused the band to near go bust as they paid to film it. I think it was the release of the video and the story that came with it that created the legend. This gig was in a venue just as unusual as Red Rocks. And this gig looked to be capacity crowd. And the band chose to release quite a bit of this gig in the form of their only live album to date. Good gig. . . . And Bono gets a tricilore shirt as well as falling on his ass. A good watch.
  4. Hhahahaha agree there Jeremy Also agree with Gerard, the show is plagued of good watchs, like the tricolour shirt, the fall, the whole Two Hearts Beat As One performance, Electric Co... The only perf I don't like is 40... Nothing special about it, no feeling, no crowd participation... Apart from that, the show is excellent, superb

    ^What he said. I'd also add that this show was their breakthrough in Germany (one of the biggest music markets worldwide). '40' was released as single due to that gig and record sales significantly rised. Also the attendance was 3 times bigger than Red Rocks, the concert was broadcasted live on TV- so this is certainly more than an "almost like rehearsal"
  6. I think there are two really special things on Loreley

    First is tha Loreley is one of greatest concert venues worldwide. I attended a lot of great gigs there since the end of the eighties. Atmosphere, crowd and sound are fucking brillant. Unfortunately I was 14 years old when U2 played there and ii was to young to drive 200 kilometers...

    Second is that U2 took the chance to take Germany as such a big record market in storm. They were almost unknown back then. So you can see how U2 figthts song by song to get every single person in this venue on the band´s side. You can feel that process and it worked.
    On almost every other TV-broadcasts you can see U2 playing to a "home crowd" but at Loreley they had to work really hard!!!
