U2, Live “Under a Blood Red Sky, ” 1983 on Island

I always thought of this as recorded at Red Rocks in Colorado, but with additional tracks from the Orpheum in Boston (“11 O’Clock Tick Tock”) and Rockpalast in Germany (all of Side B, “I Will Follow”).

There was a live video – Live at Red Rocks: Under A Blood Red Sky, which was the full Red Rocks gig – may be why I’ve always confused the two.

This is one of the records I keep multiple copies of. Early pressings included a 5:18 version of “The Electric Co.” that includes Bono interpolating some lyrics from “Send in the Clowns” – these were removed from later pressings due to rights issues, resulting in a 4:51 version of the song. (CDs and reissues also use this shorter version).

This copy, via the Record Exchange in Salem MA, is a Specialty Records Pressing with the longer “The Electric Co.”. (My other copy with the shorter “The Electric Co.” is also a Specialty Records Pressing but with metal work from Allied).

Many people track when the winter solstice is (“the days only get longer from here!”) but you may not know what your local *teletherm* is (“the days only get warmer from here!”). For us here in Boston the winter teletherm is around January 23rd. Where I used to live in Vermont it was right around Groundhog Day. It’s certainly a time for celebration! ☀️ You can find your city’s teletherm here if you know the nearest weather station: http://teletherm.org/index.html?window=25&var=summer_day&year=1960&cityID=190736 #BostonMA #dataviz #weather #wx #winter

Stay off Harrison Ave in the #SouthEnd It isn't wide enough when the cars are not able to park next to the curb because of the snow.

Jason Tatum's Boston Farmhouse

🤔

YouTube's algorithm is not working that hard, as I do watch the highlights of the Celtics games.

I didn't watch it, I'm sure it's too cringe for me. Although I am wondering where you are living in Boston that has a large field with horses.

Harbor Towers (9.98 mi), East India Row, Boston MA photographed from Buck Hill.

To the right is Mt Hood in Melrose MA. On top of it is Slayton Tower (16.5 mi), also sometimes referred to as Mt Hood Tower, 100 Slayton Rd which is dwarfed by a large cell tower (16.69 mi) behind it. Both towers are on the property of the Mt Hood golf course. I have been told that Slayton Tower can be visited and climbed during normal hours of operation for the golf course, though I have not visited yet.

To the left of the left Harbor Tower, the last few steel truss sections of the Maurice J Tobin Memorial Bridge (11.94 mi), Chelsea MA can be seen. The bridge connects US Route 1 between Boston and Chelsea. The portion that can be seen from Buck Hill are the last truss sections on the Chelsea side.

Great, it's snowing again 🫠

#BostonMA #snowstorm

The most recent snow #BostonMA #BlackAndWhitePhotography #MonochromeMonday #Monochrome #Trees #UniversalHub

I caught some powder at Ronan Park in Boston this afternoon 🤙 #BostonMa #skiing #stormfern

At least the snow isn't heavy.

The temperature seems to have gone up a little. It isn't as bitterly cold.

But the snow did that thing where it hid any evidence that I had already done a bunch of work.
