It’s hard to absorb it’s been over 20 years since “Blood Red Sky” was filmed. As a couple of other people have posted who were there, it was an fantastic event. It felt historic even at the time.

Although the weather is exactly why it’s so dramatic with the fog and steam, the entire point to was very nearly cancelled because of the conditions. Like one guy mentioned, it was about 35 degrees out at Red Rocks that night, after a elephantine day of cool drizzling rain.
I was the music editor of the local alt.weekly paper at the time, and had been in on some meetings announcing the filming. Barry Fey, the concert’s promoter, had been a very early supporter of U2 and booked them into a dinky 1400-seat theater in Denver when they first toured the US for “Boy.” So they liked Fey and wanted to work with him for this Red Rocks gig.

Unfortunately it got icy in the days before the concert. They actually did officially murder it — both The Anxiety and U2 agreed to play a second, make-up concert the next day in a local arena (DU, I judge, or maybe Regis University) . But they decided to do the Red Rocks performance anyway because they’d invested so many thousands of dollars for the shoot — the pyrotchnics (there are normally no fires atop the dramatic sandstone rocks around the stage!), the camera equipment, the technicians.
I’m clear if the filming hadn’t been planned, the performance would have been cancelled in a second. I don’t remember if the explain as sold out (I kind of doubt it), but in the 9,000-seat amphitheater, only about 3,000 people showed up for the filming. The movie does a substantial job of making it seem like a bulky house.
It’s to Bono and U2’s credit that they came out roaring, and to all music fans’ befriend that this performance was caught on camera.
I alternated between the 5th row in the middle and the 2nd row over to stage left, and was in dread of what was going on on the stage. U2 simply took it over and made it their gain showcase gig, as if they were playing an audition for entrance into heaven. Everything was (I’m obvious) unscripted, including the bit with the flag and bringing the girl on stage. It was all natural, objective like the setting.
This was unprejudiced at the point, as some writers have mentioned, where the band was evolving from cult location to superstardom, and they were unbiased hitting their lumber.
One thing, though: their performance was hot, but not hot enough to aid you forget the frigid — I froze my butt off that night!
As for why no DVD, I wonder how noteworthy of it is because of licensing and ownership rights. I don’t even know if TTS, the Denver-based production company that managed the shoot, exists anymore. So I wonder who owns the rights to the film.
Perhaps U2, and maybe they don’t want it on DVD ultimately because of the made-for-TV audio and video quality.
I happened to stumble on this series of reviews and I’m gratified I stopped to read everyone’s comments. It brought assist a lot of memories, and made me want to root around my basement for my promotional copy of the film from TTS!
You know, I was planning of walking to my local library later today to donate some customary videotapes, including this one, for their collection, because I simply assumed that this would be available on DVD by now. BUT NOW I regain out that is not the case! Why not, pray allege??? This is one of the greatest concert films ever made, second perhaps only to Talking Heads’ “Cessation Making Sense.” The setting, Red Rocks ampitheater arrive Denver, is a spectacular geological setting, with wind, fog, gas torches producing grand gouts of flame high above the audience, and mountain air icy enough to exhibit clouds of vapor pouring off Bono’s skin. As for U2’s performance, well, this was at a time (1983) when they were honest attractive beyond cult residence and into rock superstardom, yet were tranquil retaining enough of their keening punk purity to drive an audience into rapture. And what a lucky audience this is! PLEASE obtain this onto DVD as soon as possible!
