New Year’s Day – Live at Red Rocks – U2

“New Year’s Day” is my all time favorite U2 song. I purchased the “War” LP in the summer of 1983, too late to catch any nearby concerts on that tour. This live version is one of the high points from Red Rocks. Edge’s piano and guitar work are fantastic (starting at 3:00). You can hear the crowd cheer in the background as he switches from the piano back to the guitar. Great performance by all the band members.
