Alicia I love this movie so much

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

surit87 This is arguably U2's best concert ever. The band deserves a 10/10 rating for bold creativity and scintillating performances. Complete with loads of video screens of all sizes and blinding lights designed to inflict sensory overload, U2 move through their setlist with raw passion. Having just released their 'Zooropa' album, they combine songs from 'Achtung Baby' - arguably the most influential album of the 90s - with 'Zooropa' and their 80s stuff and they take you on a magical thrill-ride reminiscent of a sci- fi/fantasy movie. This was a time when the band was considering breaking up due to exhaustion and the band members themselves felt that the Sydney concert would be their last. Hence, Bono, Larry Mullen, Adam Clayton and The Edge pull out all the emotion to deliver their most memorable performance in years. They simply set the stage for today's concerts of all genres.

leplatypus My idea to read all my books about U2 and watch along their concerts wasn't maybe such a good idea because actually i have an overload, overdose of U2 and the band doesn't make sense to me anymore.Between what they want to communicate on their albums, on their shows, what the critics says about their music, their shows, and what i understand of all this, well, it's the biggest confusion possible.I felt the crack happening while reading the BP Fallon book for the Zoo tour: great photographer, unintelligible author, passionate musician but totally superficial and spoiled! For a band who wanted to change the world or propose something different, touring in the most expensive suites of hotels and hanging with models and "people" is at best very unfortunate.I love "Zooropa" album for its fresh, happy, light atmosphere and "Achtung baby" for its industrial guitar sound. We got them on this show but the DVD failed to elevate their music as "Rattle and Hum" achieved. Maybe it's because that their director isn't a movie director but in the end, goose bumps were scarce here: "The Fly", "Mysterious Ways", "Daddy gonna pay" and "Lemon" were the only songs that really touched me! Nb: for the eggs on DVD2, just play the title 4, 8 and 9: you will see a great documentary about the "old" U2 when they were young and innocent!

bowledpeakey Stadium concerts in Australia were a rarity until the early nineties when the Aussie dollar plummeted and suddenly it was financially viable for big international acts to ship all their steel and speakers over the Pacific. Paul McCartney, Madonna and Michael Jackson all brought their massive stadium shows over, but by far the most exciting and magnificent tour to come was U2 and their Zoo TV tour- which to this day is still a benchmark for all tours to be judged on, including their own subsequent Popmart, Elevation and Vertigo tours. After humble beginnings in an arena in Lakeland Florida in early 1992, the show evolved and grew into a monster that evolved and matched the continual popularity of their seminal masterpiece, Achtung Baby. U2 had deliberately not played any shows in America since 1987, but with their 're-invented' sound and look they were suddenly the only major draw-card anyone cared about in 1992- box office records were smashed. It was only a matter of time (well, a few months) before the show was let loose on the stadiums across North America and Europe, and everything about the stage show was magnified to the extreme- 36 massive screens, 11 Trabant cars, basically their own traveling satellite TV station.... the days of a big speaker stack and an out-of-sync screen in stadiums were gone. By the time the tour reached here it was November 1993 (the band had even used a break between the North American and European stadium legs to record the Grammy-winning LP 'Zooropa') it was been tweaked and perfected to be the most perfect of perfect gigs ever recorded. From the opening video sequence the crowd was unbelievably responsive- probably bettered only by the crowd in their recent release 'Live At Slane Castle'. It's interesting to note however that by far the loudest cheer of the night was for when Bono began his usual channel-surfing and happened upon some footage of Richie Richardson being dismissed by Mark Waugh in a recent Australia vs West Indies cricket match! The show is balanced absolutely magnificently, opening with a barrage of 'new' songs (although Achtung Baby had been released for 25 months by that stage) before switching to the acoustic set and finishing the main set with the absolute classic double punch of 'Where The Streeets Have No Name' and 'Pride'. Interestingly, 'Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World' which was played between 'Numb' and 'Angel Of Harlem' was omitted from the official release, most likely due to the fact that the girl Bono sprayed champagne over was under-age.Concert highlights for this humble reviewer? Having watched it at least once a week since i purchased it in 1994, and having just bought the DVD release last week, for me it's still 'Until The End Of The World', a song which just swamps the senses. The Edge has never sounded meaner and dirtier than in 'Dirty Day', and this version is infinitely better than the album version on 'Zooropa'. A special mention to the fantastic guitar solo's in 'Bullet The Blue Sky' and 'Love Is Blindness', the latter being perhaps the finest ending to a concert I have ever seen.

FairestCat Watching this video made me wish for a time machine so that I could go back in time for the sole purpose of following U2's ZooTV tour. This is an electrifying live concert, absolutely phenomenal. Bono manages to appear to be connecting with every single concert attendee. Not to be missed covers of Unchained Melody, Lou Reed's Satellite of Love and a very non-Elvis version of Can't Help Falling in Love, plus amazing renditions of both U2 classics like Pride(In the Name Of Love) and Bullet the Blue Sky and lesser known songs like Dirty Day and Love is Blindness. A must-see if you are either a U2 fan or just a fan of concerts in general. Electrifying!
