Unforgettable - U2!,
By A Customer
This review is from: U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The sheer energy of these 4 Irish lads is clear to see in this video. Such dedication to their craft. The videos for Bad and A Sort of Homecoming have been filmed during live performances, when this band really shines. And the making of the Unforgettable Fire album during their time at Slane Castle is really interesting. Although made in 84/85 it is nice to see them again when they were very young and full of promise - A must for any U2 fan.

It's U2, what else could you give it?,
By u2overground@aol.com (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The book is very well written and there is definately a feeling of intimacy between the reader and the story behind it. Great photos throughout the pages and whether you are just getting to know the band, or are a die hard, it has something for everyone.

A great look at a band in its adolescence,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Any U2 fan would love this, any music fan could appreciate, anyone who knows who Bono is would get a kick out of this. "Unforgettable Fire" is a look at the mid 80s version of one of the greatest and most successful bands of all time. All of our favorite 80s styles litter this piece as well as a lot of the band's best early work. Unforgettable Fire starts with a collection of music videos. One of which is a timeless video for one of the band's most famous songs "Pride (In the name of love)." Another is a video for "Unforgettable Fire" that has about as much of an 80s flair as imaginable. The other videos are footage of a mid 80s U2 concert tour with overdubbed live versions of "Bad" and "A SOrt of Homecoming." The footage is moving and captures the amzing on-stage presense of the give-it-our-all boys from Ireland. The second half of the video is a documentary of the band putting together the album "Unforgettable Fire," some of the scens are of their early stages of recording in an old castle. This shows the early versions of such songs as "Pride," "Unforgettable Fire," and others. The video then shows these songs evolve in the studio into final cuts. The footage also shows Bono and the boys dealing with their producers, a good look behind the scenes for those who have never witnessed that process. If you have a chance to check out this video, even if you aren't a fan, do so. 16 of 18 people found the following review helpful:

The Birth of U2's Unforgettable Fire,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)
You don't have to be a fan of U2's music, but it helps and to be an admirer of creativity. This video, featuring four video clips from the album of the same name,also has the making of the album. Inside Slane Castle where their producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois (who also produced their mainstream and Grammy winning 'The Joshua Tree'), show U2 how to find the correct image and sound that turned out such a fine art album. Funny, this is one of their most forgettable records to those that don't really know U2. But a true fan will tell you that it is by far one of the most fulfilling records , containing their biggest hits yet, 'Pride'(In the name of love) and Bad, and also experimental samples like Elvis Presley in America; but enough about the album, get this video and watch U2 create and perform and get a treat at how young they were, yet so smart and impressionable.

UNFORGETABLE,
By Tatyana AMIN - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)
One of the best "Rockumentary" EVER!! The most precious bit in this video is a tie between Larry singing "we are going on a... summer holiday ..." and Bad, performed Live with a little of "Symphathy for the devil" thrown in. Absolutely need to get this, mine's so worn from being played over and over and over.
