Right, I am reading through now and am making straightforward changes as I go. Please revert any where I inadvertently change the meaning. Queries below. Also, don't automatically do what I suggest - if you think otherwise please say so and we can discuss. :) |1= Casliber ( talk · contribs) 00:03, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Overall, a good read and likely to pass GA readily. A few quibbles above is about it. I'll stick up the criteria a bit later when you're around.

Overall:
The correct title of this video is U2 Live at Red Rocks: ... not just Live at Red Rocks: ... and here's why. First I want to point out that "U2" is displayed twice on the covers of the Laserdisc and DVD releases:
Second, most sources refer to this video as U2 Live at Red Rocks: ... with "U2" part of the title. This includes the book U2 Live: A Concert Documentary (page 47), the linear notes for the DVD release, and a 1985 issue of Billboard magazine ( link). I wanted to make this clear to elminate any concerns after the move. – Dream out loud ( talk) 01:41, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Unfortunately, U2 Wanderer is not a reliable source according to previous discussion, so I'm in the process of removing that citation and looking for a replacement (I ran into the same problem with Zooropa (song)). So we're going to need to find another source that mentions how Electric Co. was on the original videocassette but not mentioned on the box, and was later removed. U2 Wanderer states this, but we're going to have to find it mentioned somewhere else. I've been looking around, but so far found nothing. I also removed the statement from the track listing section for the time being. – Dream out loud ( talk) 05:44, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
The Pitchfork Media review that was put into the infobox in the Reception section (a 9.0/10) appears primarily to be a review of the live album, not the concert film. I mentioned the review's brief comments on the concert film in prose, but I think it would be a stretch to say Pitchfork's review was for the film. Y2kcrazyjoker4 ( talk) 06:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
I feel like all of us, collectively, have pretty much covered the entire concert release in the article. I can't really think of anything else that needs to be added, except for 2 things. First would be info on "The Electric Co." and its inclusion on the original video release (despite not being on the track listing) and the whole legal issue with Sondheim. Second would be info on the Laserdisc release. I've had lots of trouble finding both, and have so far found nothing. Sure, I was able to come across the exact date/time/channel for every single TV airing of the video, but nothing on its Laserdisc. But in the meantime, is there anything else that we should look into for the article? I really don't think this one is too far off from getting its FA nom (of course may need some minor cleaning up beforehand). – Dream out loud ( talk) 00:47, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
From Broadcasts and home video—off-topic (magazine):
The following issue was delayed until February 1984, as the editor had hoped to include details about the video release; there was still no information available, so the editor simply stated that the video "is due out in about a month's time". [1]

I've been doing some research trying to track down a more precise release date for the video. The only "reliable" source I've been able to find with the date was U2: A Musical Biography, which lists the video as having been released in May 1984. Where that date came from I am not sure, as I could not find one single source elsewhere that gave the same date. I did a little more research into archives of Billboard (using microfiche at my library!) and here is what I found:
Based on all this, all I can conclude is that the video was released probably October or November 1984. I'll simply change the article to read "late 1984", but I cannot be any more precise than that. If anyone has any other information to solve this mystery, please let me know! – Dream out loud ( talk) 00:58, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
