Title: 83 US Festival DVD release
Post by: morgan1098 on November 20, 2013, 12:06:55 PM: This contains vintage performances of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "The Electric Co." from a 1983 festival in California, along with performances by INXS, Stray Cats, etc. etc. A digital version is already on iTunes and the DVD release is on Dec. 3. See the SBS video here:

This is a nice release tho one can only wish we could see the complete U2 performance in full color and not the faded VHS boots everyone has. But Electric Co. is a classic rope climber.

Truly a remarkable U2 show among so many great ones that tour. And...oh Evangeline...no wonder Bono was sitting down to introduce SBS. ;D

just watched the 2 U2 songs--make sure you purchase day 3!
There's talking heads during the songs, blah-blah, and there are edits, most notably when Bono is climbing up and down the rope ladder. Otherwise the SQ and video are good considering the age of the recordings.

OK, I watched the part with Angeline . . . . . even if you had said the name Angeline (rather than Evangeline) in your post . . . . . I still would not have known what you were referring to . . . . . because I have never seen this video footage. Thanks for providing the link . . . . . . it was interesting to watch. :)

In May 2016 both of these songs were released on U2's Vevo site:

Just a coincidence or did a limitation/contract run out?
