5 out of 5 stars Would have loved to see an expanded CD, but it doesn't matter!   December 24, 2008
Douglas Flummer (C'dale, Illinois)
I've been a fan of the CD for many years, but I had never actually seen the concert video until now. This video is amazing, definitely worth the price of admission. As one of the earlier reviewers wrote, you hear the definitive versions of most of the material featured here, and for my money, this was U2 at their height - they may have gone on to become superstars, but this was really them at their best. The music is sharp, cutting, and well-played, and the cameras caught some extremely dramatic shots, made even more so by the elemental factors, the rain, the temperature, etc. I personally would have loved to have seen the CD redone and expanded, but lets face it - if you already have the CD, you're getting this for the video, and the video alone is worth the acquisition. I would call this one of the best concert film/videos of the '80s. The packaging is also good (as with all of their recent reissues), and I enjoyed the still photos. All in all, a great package.


5 out of 5 stars Cool Songs They Don't Play Anymore   December 17, 2008
T. GROMEK (Minneapolis, MN)
DVD just rocks the house. Why U2 doesn't play "Two Hearts Beat As One" anymore is beyond me. Kicking guitar and groovin bass line gets everybody dancing. The band's music has a funner guitar jammin edge to it (pardon the pun) in this concert from the early eighties. Cool songs like "Gloria", "A Day Without Me" and underrated songs like "Surrender" and "Seconds" are also never played anymore which is very sad. "40" should end every U2 concert period. Again the bass playing is exceptional throughout the concert set. The band should bring a couple of these songs back to their present setlists. "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" and several other songs that have been played a zillion times on radio need a rest.


5 out of 5 stars when artists believe   December 16, 2008
William Stebe (new mexico)
I saw U2 in the early hopeful days. The experience of those shows is very difficult to describe to people who were not there. This came very close. U2 really believed in what they were saying and had a commitment to a message rarely paralleled in live entertainment. This is a sharp contrast to the cynical views of today. Enjoy!


5 out of 5 stars Finally!   December 12, 2008
David Biddle (Pleasant Hill, CA)
Great to see footage of the new songs. The first release on VHS decades ago did have one thing on it that this new DVD does not. In the song The Electric Co, the VHS version shows Bono on top of the sound/spotlight pit in the middle of the audience. This new version has that too, but the short improvisational verse from "Send In The Clowns" is missing from this new DVD. Why? A very minor deletion I know, but hey, it's on my old VHS tape, but is missing on this new DVD. Otherwise, this is a wonderful DVD package.
