U2 – October/New Year’s Day (Live at Red Rocks)
Mmmmmmm, U2 reissues…….
The Joshua Tree box set was one of my favorite releases last year. And in fact, you can now buy audio of the concert that came in that box set, on Itunes.
My friend Dan took me to (believe it or not) my first U2 concert, which happened at Gund Arena in May of 2001.
I had been a HUGE U2 fan for years, and due to spending early life in small towns where no shows ever came, I hadn’t seen U2 prior to that night at Gund Arena.
That night @ Gund Arena, all was right with the world – SUCH a great show!
Consider me in line, for this next line of reissues!!
P.S. – how about a new album?
from www.atU2.com
It’s the beautiful day millions of U2 fans around the globe have waited patiently to see for the past four years.
Now we can reveal details of the supergroup’s long-awaited new album.
It is believed to be titled No Line On The Horizon and will be on sale in music stores on November 14.
The band’s record company Universal has already registered the internet domain name nolineonthehorizon.com — prompting speculation this will be the new record.
And among the songs to be released on what many music insiders are calling the band’s best work to date are “Moment of Surrender,” “For Your Love,” “Love Is All We Have Left” and “One Bird.”
Others include “If I Could Live My Life Again,” “The Cedars of Lebanon” and “No Line On The Horizon.”
Earlier this week a 19-strong film crew headed to the Spanish city of Cadiz to shoot a video for the band’s first single from the new album although the band were not believed to be present.
Last night an insider said the U2 machine is gearing up for the release of one of the most keenly-awaited albums in recent years.
“The album is more or less all in the bag except for a few minor details,” the source revealed. A lot of people have been waiting a long time for this album as they do with every U2 album.
“But the word coming out is that the band is very, very happy with the end product and when U2 are happy it should be quite a piece of work. They’re not easy to please.”
