In June '81 the first 'October' single, 'Fire' was released. The album entered the UK chart at number 11, and two following singles - 'Gloria' and 'A Celebration' also charted.
The release of 'War' was a turning point: 'New Year's Day' was a UK top ten hit, and the album entered the UK at number one, and went top ten in the US. Recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Colorado during U2's US tour, Under A Blood Red Sky, was their first live album. It topped the UK charts and went platinum by January '84. Rolling Stone Writer's Poll voted U2 'Band of the Year' for 1983. The Unforgettable Fire was the title of an exhibition of photographs of the bombing of Hiroshima that the group had seen during their first tour of Japan in December '83.

Biography Bono and Adam Clayton proved hard to pin down, due to their busiest of schedules; first promoting 'Passengers', then travelling to Italy, Bosnia and Jamaica, and getting ready their own next studio album. Despite all this they found time to record a striking new version of a song from U2's second album, October. In many ways the two versions of 'Tomorrow' trace a musical route the artists themselves have travelled, from the Irish-grounded rock of their beginnings to more open-ended, experimental works like their recent 'Passengers' album with Brian Eno. 'Tomorrow' was transformed as it progressed from one approach to another, one mood to another, revealing the brilliantly intuitive working method of Ireland's most popular artists. Donal Lunny's son, Oisín (along with Stephen Daley) created the backing rhythms and samples on the track. U2 was formed in the summer of 1978 while its members were still pupils at Dublin's Mount Temple school. Comprising of Bono (vocals), The Edge (guitar, piano), Larry Mullen Jnr (drums) and Adam Clayton (bass), the group played small venues in their native Dublin and the following year released their first record, a one-off 3 track EP titled U23. By January 1980 U2 had built up a loyal Following and The Hot Press (Ireland's leading rock magazine ) Reader's Poll placed them at the top of five categories. In April, U2 signed to Island Records and one month later released their first single, '11 O'Clock Tick Tock'. U2 began to work with Steve Lillywhite on their first album, Boy, in August 1980. They began their first European shows in October, and released the album and their third single, 'I Will Follow'.
