The interviews are candid. The music is priceless. The band is U2 before they were the megaband they are today. The video is good quality, well edited and the sound mixing is done well, especially considering the fact that music is intertwined with voice throughout. The albums covered on this are, of course, the resulting "Rattle and Hum", "The Joshua Tree", and all of their previous work. You can see what existed in Bono, the humanitarian, before he was nominated for a Nobel Prize for his work in charity and relief work around the world. The video shows the 4 guys, Bono (aka Paul Hewson), the Edge (aka Dave Evans), Adam Clayton and Larry Mullin Jr. being four guys from Ireland on a tour of the U.S. The coolest thing about this video is how it shows U2's discovery of American music; specifically the blues and jazz. Best song on the video is by far "When love comes to town" with THE B.B. King. The entire video is fantastic and I have watched it literally hundreds of times.Read full review
I bought the regular DVD version of this for my wife years ago and thought it was good but not great. I like U2 but I have always thought their music is very overplayed. With this HD-DVD version (which I also bought for my wife) it is like seeing this film for the first time. The video quality is only slightly better than the standard DVD, but the sound quality is outstanding on the Dolby Digital Plus track. It is a great disc to show off your sound system to your friends. Just go buy it already!
FOR ME THIS DVD BRIDGED THE GAP BETWEEN JUST SORT OF LIKING U2 (UNHEARD OF SINCE I'M IRISH)AND BEING VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT U2. I FIRST SAW ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF THIS DVD AT A FRIENDS HOUSE...IT WAS THE RIGHT 20 MINUTES...THE GREAT B.B. KING WAS PERFORMING IN THIS SEGMENT AND REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. I PURCHASED MY COPY THE NEXT DAY AND WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. THE PERFORMANCES ARE FULL OF FEELING AND LIFE...MANY SONGS ARE PERFORMED FOR THIER MESSAGE, ALBEIT SOME POLITICAL, AND SOME ARE JUST FUN! THE SINCERE INTEREST OF THE BAND AS THEY TOUR AROUND AMERICA LEARNING ABOUT OUR MUSICAL HISTORY AND OF WE AS A PEOPLE IS INSIGHTFUL AND VERY PERSONAL AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY THE TRIP TO GRACELAND. (I WON'T SPOIL IT FOR YOU, BUT IT'S A MUST SEE, LIKE THE B.B. KING SEGMENT) THIS DVD IS ONE OF MY TOP MUSICAL RECOMMENDATIONS, U2 IS IN TOP FORM WITH GREAT MUSIC AND WONDERFUL GUEST PERFORMANCES...IT'S HARD NOT TO LIKE A GROUP OF GUYS WHO ARE FANS OF ELVIS, B.B. KING, THE BLUES, AND HARLEY DAVIDSON!!Read full review
Unfortunately, you need a HD-DVD player to watch this disc. Mine is working perfectly. The bluray version of this disc is very rare and high-priced.
