U2 Should Release an SOE-Focused Live Album Like Under a Blood Red Sky

[Daniel94]

Under a Blood Red Sky and the Red Rocks film are serious highlights in the band's history, and from what I've heard, attracted a lot of new fans. How great would be if U2 were to do an equivalent live album centered on SOE?

Assuming it would be the same length as Under a Blood Red Sky, what 8 songs would you choose to feature on this live album?

My picks:

1. Love Is All We Have Left
2. Lights of Home (strings)
3. The Blackout
4. Bullet the Blue Sky
5. Get Out of Your Own Way
6. With or Without You with Love Will Tear Us Apart snippet (especially after seeing the BBC performance wow)
7. Love Is Blindness
8. Book of Your Heart OR The Little Things That Give You Away

I’d say just release the whole bbc convert. From what I’ve heard, it’s amazing.

Problem is, it’s no longer 1995...

You really think they're going to attract new fans at this point?

not really

I wonder if they took the BBC concept with strings and choir and put it in a visually arresting, romantic setting, and packed it with fans, it could go over very well.
A lot of the staples could soar with that sort of arrangement, we know the new songs can, and it plays into their 'mature' status.

Just don't get andre rieu as support.

They really need to release a little e CD to get all those millennials.

If there's one thing millennials like as much as avocado toast, it's live CDs.

While a CD wouldn’t make sense, a Record Store Day live vinyl would be cool.
