Summary: AN EXCELENT REMASTERED EDITION
Comment: THE SOUND OF THIS EDITION IS GORGEOUS.
AN EXCELENT CONCERT IN FRANCE (1987) AND AN EXCELENT B-SIDES.
THE BEST OF THE BEST
Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome sound. Great for the Video alone
Comment: I am somewhat hesitant about writing a review for this cd, because to me, this is when U2 went BIG TIME, and they weren't the small Irish band anymore that people like me loved. Their first 4 cd's all had that distinct sound and this started to vary away from that sound.
After buying this version, I was reminded of how great this album truly is. I would put this up there with the top 100 albums of all time ( along with the first four ). The sound is clearer and the video alone,
( the real reason I bought this version ), are incredible.
Remasters are usually a marketing ploy as far as I am concerned, with people not hearing much if any differance. The new Genesis remasters are
ASTOUNDING, and I put this with them. A differance you can hear!!!!
I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of U2 and their early works.
check out the upcoming remasters of the first three U2 cd's and you will be pleasently surprised, as I am sure I will.

Summary: Awesome! Worth It for the Paris Concert Alone
Comment: By far the biggest find in all this is the Paris concert for that tour. Prior to this, the only footage of the Joshua Tree tour is what you see in Rattle & Hum.
The concert is them riding high on that album and their newfound status as biggest band in the world. For the first time ever you seen on DVD live versions of "Trip Through Your Wires" and "Unforgettable Fire." Both sound great, as does most everything else. The staging is simple and direct (before all the spectacle of Zoo TV and Popmart), and the sound is GREAT.
The remastered CD sounds pretty much the same; with a bit more kick, a bit more low-end and you can hear certain ringtones from Larry's snare that you couldn't before.
Also cool are the enclosed photos from the Joshua Tree cover shoot, which just beg to be framed and hung somewhere in the house. The booklet contains the band's observations on this album and what inspired it.
Even if you own almost every U2 thing--and I do--this was yet a new revelation and not the usual repackaging-with-a-bonus-song that most reissues are. Well worth it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent.
Comment: This is an excellent re-release. The liner notes are a bound book, and have quite interesting sections from many people associated with the production of Joshua Tree, often explaining the background information for songs. Listening to the album again with the new-found backstories brings new meaning and weight to many of the songs. The concert is quite enjoyable, bringing back memories of what used to be... stylish. Very entertaining. The documentary is also fascinating.
(I bought this without knowing anything about it, so I can't comment on that.)
