Hey everyone...

Just caught this on VH1.Com...

To benifit the hurricane victims, they are having a "Pay to Play" benifit where they will play video requests for a donation.

$25.00 gets one of your videos on air.
If you spend over $200.00 you get a signed poster by legendary Rock Artist Peter Max

And for the big spenders, you can set an hour block (13 Videos) and Peter Max will paint your portrait for only $35,000.00

Anyway, they have a load of videos to choose from, and the following U2 videos (some of which I think are quite . I will mark those in bold...

Pride live is from Rattle and Hum, I think A Sort of Homecoming is live performance footage and was on the original Unforgettable Fire documentary video.

October/News Years Day 2 is a headscratcher, it might be live footage as well since those songs used to be played back to back live during the Joshua Tree tour.

A Celebration is hilarious, and if it was played with Night and Day back to back, my life would be complete

if anyone doesn't know, A Celebration has Bono running around an Irish prison, and the band turning into beams of light

or am i wrong?

 

[Miroslava]

A Celebration is CHEESETASTIC!!!

Oh yeah, probably!

They are. In fact, they played it earlier this evening (just October/New Year's Day, not the whole Red Rocks concert.)

weren't these songs played back to back on the red rocks video? i can't remember.

Yep, October/NYD was first done on 1 December 1982, and besides War's first leg in 1983 (when October was paired with Tomorrow), October rarely made a setlist without New Year's Day as the subsequent track until its final performance on 28 October 1989.

(Some alternate and rarely done setlist placements were October/Springhill Mining Disaster and October/With Or Without You. Bad/October/NYD/Pride ended quite a lot of main sets from 1984 through to Lovetown.)

THE STUCK IN A MOMENT VIDEO IS SO BAD....VH1 DIDN'T EVEN INCLUDE IT IN THE LIST!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Clawgrabber]

Axver?

 

[bort269]

what about ONE TREE HILL????

Axver?

that one is from R&H, it's the extra bonus video that you get if you bought the VHS Best Of 1980s video

has a timecode throughout the whole performance...

A Celebration is CHEESETASTIC!!!

ROFL. It's that video that makes me wonder why they never released "Red Hill Mining Town." I mean... how it could be any worse or any cheesier?

I just love the bursting-out-of-vortexes-of-light stuff. Classic!

 

[1stepcloser]

haha the mullet was well on it's way in that video too

 

[U2phan]

let's pool our money and have a U2 marathon!!! i'm sure Bono would be pleased with our charity, for the hurricane relief and all
