This was U2's first live album, it was released
as a mini allbum. Some people said that it would be the end of U2
now that they made a live album (Old songs, so it was quick
done.) The end was it not, more the beginning. The beginning of
the video-age.
At first the whole concert from Red Rocks (USA) was supposed to
come on video and LP, but when the LP was released there remained
only 2 numbers from Red Rocks. The others numbers are live
numbers from other places.
The concert in Red Rocks was nearly aborted becouse the rain, but
Paul McGuinness decided to go on. On that night U2 played one of
their most triumphant shows of their career, in the rain, for
about 8000 people.
