Our Take

U2 Boston FM May 1983 – Live recordings that transport you to a time when Bono's mullet was almost as iconic as his powerhouse vocals. This release captures the raw energy of a band on the brink of superstardom, but still humble enough to play intimate gigs in radio stations.

The setlist is a mix of classics and deep cuts, showcasing the versatility and talent of the band. From the anthemic "New Year's Day" to the haunting "40," each track is performed with passion and precision. The standout moment has to be their rendition of "I Will Follow," which feels like a sonic punch to the gut in the best possible way.

Bono's banter is as charming as ever, with jokes and anecdotes peppered throughout the performance. It's clear that this is a band that loves what they do and aren't afraid to show it. The chemistry between the members is palpable, creating a sense of camaraderie that is infectious.

The production quality is surprisingly good for a live recording from the early 80s, capturing the essence of U2's sound without losing any of the live energy. It's a testament to the band's talent and professionalism.

Overall, U2 Boston FM May 1983 is a must-listen for fans of the band and a great introduction for newcomers. It's a snapshot of a moment in time when U2 were on the cusp of greatness, and it's a joy to experience. So grab your Walkman, put on your leg warmers, and press play – you won't regret it.
