Product Description

The best band in the world? U2 reapplied for that position at the start of the new millennium and music lovers responded by sending All That You Cant Leave Behind to number 1 in 22 countries on its release in 2000. The band were suddenly back in the pages of NME and other cool journals, and picking up new and younger fans while also reconnecting with the huge fanbase they had built over the previous 2 decades. Since then Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry have gone from strength to strength, releasing two further quite extraordinary albums this decade and taking massive world tours to their fans, old and new, all across the globe. This film, featuring rare and classic footage of U2, and including many of their very finest tunes from the period in question, plus interviews with the band and those closest to them and contributions from the finest writers and music journalists - and much more besides - gets right to the heart of U2 s amazing resurgence during this recent era. In so doing this DVD gives the viewer a clear understanding of why and how this remarkable group shot back from the fringes of disinterest to once again join the elite gathering of artists who make up the planet s favourite musical icons.

Superb U2 film 24 Aug 2010
Without doubt one of the best U2 documentaries i've seen, and one of the few that focusses on their more recent albums (from All That You Can't Leave Behind onwards). Tells the story of their recent success really well with plenty of stuff you won't have seen before on some of the other U2 films that are out there. I'd definitely recommended it to any fans of the band.

Faulty 12 Nov 2010
By Lesley
This item was faulty and I have returned it as it was unwatchable, it was not sealed and I think it was second hand even though it was classed as new, I am waiting for my refund

The video is interesting but I thought it was better than that. I do not recommend spending money on this!
