Thank you for this!

First U2 song I ever heard. Made me numb, and to this day, still gives me chills. Hands down, greatest live band to ever take a stage.

[@jayrorschach2247]

James or the killers I reckon but your right about this song, best u2 song ever.

[@NJJ77]

U2 of this era or Maiden of any era best rock band live IMO but it's all subjective anyway

[@ChangeWeMust]

@@jayrorschach2247 "James" 😅It's good to see absurdist comedy is still alive and kicking today...speaking of Alive and Kicking, "Live in the City of Light" (Simple Minds) is easily the greatest live concert album ever.

This version was only available on a few pressings shut down down by Rogers and Hammerstein , nice to see it back , best part of the song

Not even the full. No la la la I. America

Stephen Sondheim.

johnnytheslider yes

[@carljacobus2036]

@@cowboy68 Yep. Somewhere, out there, someone has a copy of it. I did when I was 15 (in 1985) and have long since lost it before I understood just how good it was. I have seriously been looking for it since about 1990 when I realized that the retail copies of this album no longer carried it.

[@cowboy68]

@@carljacobus2036 I have it.my girl got it for me on eBay for like 20 bucks a few years back

Such raw energy and awesome guitar from Edge

[@beeftheheat]

they cut out a couple of bits of this on original lp (as many know of course). then the lawsuit etc. great to have this to hear thank you.

U2 when they were good

[@BobRapier-g9e]

Good comment. U2 completely changed for the worse after rattle and hum. Turning into a quasi pop band. They've had a good song here and there.

[@JG-ds6qs]

I wish I had my original tape at Red Rocks before it was edited out.

[@m.c.6711]

I have it..I can send it to you, if you'd like.

west side story

[@onshiplessoceans1675]

I had this version on my Under a Blood Red Sky cassette, purchased in the U.S. (Detroit area) when the Under a Blood Red Sky album was still pretty new. It was actually my first U2 purchase. And I have been disappointed that this longer version (with "Send in the Clowns") isn't on the streaming or other versions now. Why is that? Is there a story behind it?

[@johnkerr1957]

The 27 second "Send in the Clowns" copyright infringement cost U2 a whopping USD$50,000 back then. Hence the edit to most recordings/videos of the song from 1983.
