Album Review

"War" turned U2 into arena-rock stars, and the EP "Under a Blood Red Sky" captures the band on its supporting tour as they adjusted to their larger audiences. Unsurprisingly for a band that always favored the grand statement, the group flourished in such a setting, as this mini-EP attests. Comprised of material recorded in America and Germany, "Under a Blood Red Sky" draws equally from the band's first three albums, and these live versions, while less textured, are considerably tougher than their studio counterparts and illustrate quite effectively why U2 were considered one of the best, most exhilarating live bands of the '80s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
