Summary: Not sure why it's so great...but here's my explanation.
Comment: I first listened/saw this DVD about 3 years ago. In those 3 years, it is probably the most oft-watched DVD in my collection music or otherwise. I can't explain in words why it's so captivating to watch, only that it's an experience similar to going to a concert and witnessing something truly special. They are on an emotional rollercoaster and you feel lucky to be able to witnes it. One cannot help but get choked up when Bono tells a story about his father before dedicating Kite to his memory. Yes there is lots of interplay within the band. Bono resting his head on Adam's back while he continues to sing; or 're-living' Out of Control with Bono introducing the band as if it were 30 years prior. Or maybe it's the interaction with the crowd: Bono sings 'Beautiful Goal' rather than Beautiful Girl at the end of Beautiful Day to honor Ireland's world cup win witnessed by the crowd that very day! Or maybe it's Bono calling out the names of the victims killed at Omaugh during Sunday Bloody Sunday and exclaiming 'Put your hands in the sky, put your hands in the air, if you're the prayin' kind then turn this song into a prayer' (btw this is the best version I've seen of this song...ever). And as other viewers have mentioned earlier, Bono's father passed away in the week after filming the first show and the filming of the second show. In u2 by u2, the band says that none of the footage from the first show was used in this dvd, it all came from the second show. The band recognized and reacted to the energy from the crowd and it is so plainly evident. Prior to this dvd, I can't say I was a huge u2 fan. However, after seeing what they're capable of, I'm a believer. Do yourself a favor. Run, don't walk, and purchase this dvd. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Summary: Incredible performance
Comment: Well, i'm not a huge U2 fan, but i am a fan of the Edge's guitar work. The sound on this dvd was mastered very well. The music is top notch. I have the U2 live at boston for the elevation tour dvd, and it was horrible compared to this one. This is personally my favorite U2 concert Dvd, although i have yet to see Rattle and Hum (WHICH I MUST SEE, i love the album). Angel of Harlem, is a great tune. Pick up this dvd you wont be disapointed. I played it so much, it got scratched beyond playability, so i bought another copy. Thats how much i liked it!!!!!

Summary: Best live U2
Comment: This is U2 minus the pretensions seen in some of their other dvd's. The performances are outstanding. They interact with each other, and the most enthusiastic crowd I've seen in a U2 concert. At one point during "All I Want is You" a fan throws water on Bono, and he quips "all i want is f***in you man" :).
Classic U2, excellent concert.

Summary: What Can I Say?
Comment: What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is, by far, the finest U2 concert DVD of all. The band is "home"...relaxed, in good humor. You get the feeling that, after taking the Elevation tour all over the world in all its huge glory, they're coming back home just to "play a few songs in the backyard for some close friends." Rough patches? Sure...but the clumsy start to "Angels of Harlem" has a basement-band friendly comraderie to it...not the awkward tenseness of the goofs in PopMart, for example.
U2 has put out some great concert DVDs...Elevation, Vertigo, ZooTV...but this...this is U2 at their finest. If you're on the fence about which to start with, this is the one.
