Episode description

It's impossible to talk about War without getting into the War Tour. In part two, we talk about the three essential gigs from the War Tour that solidified U2's standing as the best live act in rock and roll: the US Festival, Red Rocks and U2's first headlining arena show in the States: Los Angeles Sports Arena when Bono takes things a little too far which finally convinces him to change course as a performer. We were there and we share our memories. We also go over the effect of MTV playing the Sunday Bloody Sunday video to death and turning U2 into big time rock stars and the commercial success of Under a Blood Red Sky.
