Venue: Red Rocks Amphitheatre Location: Morrison, CO, USA Date: November 30, 1982

In November 1982, U2 performed 'I Will Follow' live at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, just as they were on the cusp of global recognition. This performance was featured in their concert film 'U2 Live At Red Rocks: Under A Blood Red Sky,' which captured the raw energy and passion of their early sound. Prior to this memorable gig, U2 had released their debut album 'Boy' in 1980, establishing themselves as a force in the post-punk scene. Interestingly, the Red Rocks concert is often credited with helping to solidify their reputation and expand their following, thanks to its stunning visuals and emotional delivery. It's fascinating how this live recording encapsulates a pivotal moment in U2's journey, where they were not just performing songs, but articulating a vision that would resonate across decades.
