Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

An excellent live album - had it in my chart for ages till I ditched live albums from it. A tight little set.

Classic live album. Sunday, Bloody Sunday is definitive version and of U2's best.
It's more like an EP with 8 songs, but this is a fantastic live album.

Uma das maiores performance ao vivo, set lista absoluta do começo do U2.

"Under a blood red sky", tra i dischi degli U2 realizzati prima di "The Joshua tree", è il mio preferito. Primo perché è suonato e cantato con un'urgenza tutta giovanile, una concitazione che la dimensione live rende ancora maggiore; secondo perché in questo modo si attenua quell'aria da chi, pur giovane, ne sa sempre più degli altri, caratteristica che era ciò che meno sopportavo negli U2, al tempo; terzo perché contiene la miglior versione di "Sunday bloody Sunday".
Yes it is good live album, no music lover could not deny that U2 are great live band. Their is great energy to the music on this album.
Classic live album from U2 but in this day and age you want the whole gig. Still, can't complain about the quality of music that is on there though. Energetic and confident.

Only one B-Side, and other than that... easily the best live album I've ever heard.
A good example of how amazing U2 is in during live performances, I find Party Girl an underrated track here, anyone else think likewise? Oh and Gloria, Sunday Bloody Sunday, The Electric Co. and New Year's Day are great tracks too
normally i don't like live albums, but this one is great!
