For a true U2 fan

It's not as flashy and exciting as ZooTV and Popmart were but it's still a good selection of their songs from the past and present. At times Bono seems more concerned about posing for pictures and less concerned with how the audience is reacting but I'm not sure anyone in the audience noticed that. I know what it is. On ZooTV and Popmart the band seemed interested in giving a total experience of sight and sound. The Elevation video seemed to show the band aging well as rock icons. This video seemed to be the band embracing the idea that they are rock legends still touring. Anyway, if you are a true U2 fan and want to keep their concert video collection up to date then get this. Otherwise, this is probably not the video to get you started. August 29, 2008

Bono A Joke

U2:Vertigo 05-Live From Chicago.Bono's performance all through the
concert is lame.He looks and acts like he doesn't want to perform
anymore.During singing,"Love And Peace Or Else",wearing a head band with
religious symbols and pounding away at a drum with drumsticks:corny.
During singing,"Zoo Station",and "The Fly",Bono wearing a military hat
and uniform looks ridiculous. Bono and Larry should have worn their hair
styled as from The Elevation Tour. Bono's hair is terible,Larry should
have a hair cut, Adam with his gray hair should have dyed his hair back
to its natural color.However,the stage,lighting,sound,guitars,Larry playing drums,Bono and The Edge singing is awesome!!.U2:Elevation-Live
From Boston and U2:Go Home-Live From Slane Castle Rocks!! April 12, 2008

U2 Concert Is Fantastic

I have heard for years that U-2 is fantastic live. I finally found out for myself after going to a 3-D IMAX theater to see U2-3D. I was absolutely blown away. I never thought that I would ever see a lead guitarist that is in the caliber of Pete Townsend from The Who, but The Edge gives him a run for his money.
This DVD is from the same tour that U2-3D was taken (The Vertigo tour). It is a great DVD. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is that it did not have my favorite U2 song, which is With Or Without You (this song WAS in the 3D feature). Great band, strong vocals, and NO interruptions with chatter and interviews. When I watch a concert film, I want to pretend that I am really there. I like it to "build up" like a real concert, without interview break-aways, and this video (just as in the 3D film) does just that. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VIDEO! April 11, 2008

Must Own for U2 fan - But not their Best effort or Concert DVD.

Vertigo was a brilliant CD & the accompanying tour was top notch.
But having followed the band since Joshua Tree, I can echo the prevailing sentiment that this DVD didn't capture the Band's on 1 of its better night.

Still U2 fans will add this to their collection & upconvert it on HD or SD & enjoy nice sound.

But if you can catch U23D in 3D sight & sound from their Vertigo Latin America leg currently in theatres - it blows all of their previous efforts out of the water & demonstrates why this is still the world's greatest rock band. That concert will show that their music has crossed all generations. March 3, 2008
