11 O'Clock Tick Tock (Live From Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Colorado, USA / 1983 / Remaster... 

That's stupid, my comment keeps getting deleted by RU-vid but whatever, the point is that bridge pickup on The Edge's Gibson Korina Explorer is top-notch; a lot of warmth, a lot of range in both bass and treble. Fantastic staple of U2's early sound :)

Well, that's because the Red Rocks is an Amazing natural amphitheater!! ❤❤

This has been my favourite live album, ever since I first heard it, 25 years ago ! And this was ALWAYS my favourite song ! Call OUT your NAME ! 🤗

@@sneakypress 1

the same

@@sneakypress If you think the album is great you should have been at the concert!

I agree %100!!!

Just thinking how I was only 19 puts me into shock. It feels like another lifetime. At least that is what Bono says. ;)

​@@tricianindel7909Yes, that is shocking. I was 13 years old. I saw that show 4 years later in a pub that showed videos of new bands. I am from Argentina, consider that everything comes much later to South America, even more so in those years. Today with the internet everything is immediate. I send you my regards

First album I ever had, my brother bought me it for my xmas, I was 12. Instantly hooked on music and especially u2 at that time as they weren't well known

​@@zootv1971 nice!!!

My Dad taped this recording over with the Weather Channel back in '83 on the VHS when cable had just come out....to say I was furious would be an understatement 😢

No.. that was at Live Aide when The Police passed the baton over to them.

@@Grandizer8989 I'm pretty sure the Police were not at Live Aid and broke up long before. But what I meant was red rocks got played on British TV show called the Tube which everybody in the UK watched. Before That I think they were in debt. After they really took off.

Did you wear out the cassette or the vinyl like I did ha,ha,ha?

Me too👍

Me too!!!

@@sargy1916 the vinyl, over and over again, rs, so good!!

I also have a very cool memory of driving to school one morning and this album suddenly playing through the school bus' speakers 😃 That tape turned out to be one of my younger Sister's classmates' - who'd later be my band's bass player! 😄

Red Rocks amphitheater is perfectly tuned for the midrange & treble 'wash' of bands like U2. Also anything with strings. Bass doesn't bounce as well, and really screaming/wailing lead guitars or soprano voices are deafening in the reverb. But a nice 'chka chka chka chka' rhythm guitar, tenor voice, sharp drumming, & lush keyboards/strings fit the venue sooo well. It's like the world's biggest DELAY pedal.😀 Local band DeVotchKa, with the CSO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wh5XtRBCBFo.html

Edge rule. This recording kinda set them up for superstardom. Then Live Aid really put en over the top. Bad.

@@robertmcgovern8850 Saw them in Detroit on the Unforgettable Fire tour in 1985...best concert ever

Incredible. Period.

​@@erichanhauser3190 right. They really hadn't broke yet at the time. Still on the edge.. no pun. I say they really broke broke with Joshua Tree.

Movement, of what? That is an asinine statement, really.

@@scottgrimes1287 really clever Scott, well done 👏

@@simondevlin1695 waiting for a retort. I am not dissing on U2. I love them as a band, I do. They had that early period, when really Goth kids and such were into them. And I still play and discreetly dance behind closed windows to their early stuff. Musically though, they were pretty simple. They then went through that commercial sell out period (Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum...when I traveled 100 miles to see them in Pittsburgh, but los Lobos was more fun as an opening act), then they got to the point, they could dictate terms. Then they could creative again. What I was astounded by was, how many Irish people didnt like them. I remember at the beach, and the Irish chicks would turn the channel if they came on, because they were so inundated by them back home.

No big deal Scott, foolish opinions are embedded in democratic politics........ we’re quite lucky really 👍

@@simondevlin1695 back in the day they were a fuckin movement and i was a fuckin disciple. Boy, October, War, Live at Red Rocks...

They used to play all their songs that way. I saw them in 84 and for 2 hours they just bled on stage. It was great when they actually gave a shit.

Car c’est vous ?

50 years here and this song never gets old. It never will. Quality and passion endure. Forever.

I', the same age as you and still playing this. The 80s were so good.

It's such a beautiful song!

Haha, I've just clicked this again, forgot I'd commented, 52 now, headphones are still on.

Me too!!

@MichaelD8393 40 years later that girl is probably a grandmother telling the little ones about the time she danced on stage with Bono

I remember my brother being upset about an interview with Eddie Van Halen about how good The Edge is. LOL

Haha awesome

I've always said he looks like Smithers

Lol, It was amazing!!! 🥰

Adam made this band big time. He was the one that pushed hard from doing gigs to actually doing recordings, and pushing the leg work.

I saw him play live. At the end of "Streets" he did a slide up on the bass fingerboard and literally squatted right in front of me just a few feet away. I gave him a look like saying "not bad". He gave me a look back saying"That's right". As he started to walk away, I couldn't help but look at his butt.

When Adam moves with his bass, it’s deep C clef sex.

They had so many under rated songs. A lot of great B sides.

U2 rhythm section is the glue that lest edge and bono freewheel

The only other bass line Ive heard better was the cure fasciation street

i love it - being a pretender bassist , the part starting at 2:40 is such a cool bit to fake along to (with adam turned way up of course)

I was thinking the same thing.

Same. It looks so cool and fun for the girl. :3

And Bono's back has never been the same. She's as tall as him and thick, pretty of course, but a fine big lass.

@@jaytaylor7485 Bet she's aged better than he has too.

I always wondered who she was and what she is doing now...

@sdp this tour was the last one where Edge *didnt* use sequencers. By the Unforgettable Fire tour, the music was so complex he needed sequencers. By ZooTV I remember fans saying there were men *under* the stage playing instruments because there’s no way the Edge could produce all those sounds live.

Totally agree mate ❤️

I saw them live a Croke Park in Dublin, they were beyond amazing. Lou Reed made a special appearance. It was so, so much better seeing them in Ireland than Canada, where they were still excellent, but their homeland, incredible.

Totally agree! Especially with the inclusion from Drowning Man.

Yeah that mix is perfect

Your not kidding Jennifer, I'm 54 and would go back to the good O'l days in a hot second. 👍

No $#!+.😁

I remember listening to these guys in the late 80's early 90's I thought what a band these guys were their music was powerful it was totally different what was on the radio at the time.Still listening today love their music.

I'm crying.

Has to be the best U2 moment ever.

Yup, still puts the hair on my neck up, 40 years later.

Bingo!!

It was my first CD I bought when I finally got a home player.

@PlumbPitiful she’s probably in her 60s now maybe even a grandmother telling the little ones about she fist pumped for the camera ✊✊

... plus a bit of the 'Drowning Man' lyrics in there, too! ☺ Also, the switch on Edge's guitar is suddenly damaged, at 3:45 , and I've always wondered when and how during this performance this happened, as it looked fine only moments earlier! 🤔🙂 And Larry's drum parts throughout their first few albums were very inventive indeed! 😀👍

I didnt know this song came out in late 1979 WOOOOOOW 70s Baby

I'm sure they will.

@@TheBeegle77 $600 I will gladly pay. I've seen U2 4 times from 2005-2018; they put on a good show.

@@MichaelD8393did you see them at the Vegas Sphere 🤔🤔

She's probably about 60 by now. Time flies.

Yeah! I was 13 in 1983!!! Time flies very quickly, indeed!

@@lucianaoliveira9441 HahA! You just dated yourself. I was 15 in 83. Blink of an eye and it's 2021. Seen lots of bands come and go, but through it all, there was always U2.

You my friend have an ear for music I the same

Boss FA-1, Boss SD-1, MXR Dynacomp

No. You are not the only one. There are millions of us.

@@albertturner1039 Cool

I think all of their performances from this show are better than the studio versions

Oh 100% sure it blows the studio version to hits...

Here's a lifelong U2 fan agreeing with you.

I literally only found that out a few months ago too

Holy shit

Take a bow my son

But WHAT a vapour!!

actually she is 56.

and yes, i would know. am looking at the same pair of boots while typing this.

@@jhart7304 😎😎

@@jhart7304 are you her??!!

Exactly I love their stuff from the 70s-early 90s and a few of their late 90s and 2000s tracks.

That guy was a pain in the shorts throughout the entire concert! I think he had his own agenda...

@@gracegeek4678 Yeah, he seemed like a crazed fan, possibly on something,.

explain big ben plz 🤔

@@ALSILVERU2 Hi Silver, Big Ben is a famous clock in London which rings out every hour. Before tolling the Time it runs a melody to let everyone know it is about to countdown the time. The Edge plays that melody in the Solo. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wqslA_CKub8.html

@@johnh9200 Took me 35+ years to learn this! I did notice the part when I 1st herd it loved it thot sounds kinda like somthing I herd but never gave it more focus and just threw it in The Edge makes the coolest random LIVE odd guitar sounds bucket! 🎸 🎶🪣 This one has a meaning to it and thanks for the knowledge Thanks 🙌 Dallas,Tx

Uau.

Bingo!!

Thumbs up for being Bill Clinton
