Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great concert, but has some nasty edits.
Fans of the original VHS release of this concert will be thrilled at the inclusion of additional songs on the DVD from BOY and OCTOBER, which are some of my favorites. Remember, this was shot on video for a German TV show, and naturally the original airings would have featured mainly the newer songs from WAR, which they were touring for at the time. So, it's great that the older songs have been included here. The video quality looks pretty much the same as the original. This is old TV video, not hi-def digital.

However, as many other reviewers have noted, Bono's vocal riffing segment is still cut out of The Electric Co, and in fact, the cut is EVEN BIGGER on this release. The entire segment where Bono climbs the tower is cut out. When you know it's there, it's like ripping ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Complete Show At Last!
I had this on Beta at one point and it's great to now have the complete show on DVD. The picture quality looks about the same as I remember it from my latter VHS copy. What a great window into the best era of this band(83-87) and even better a glimpse before they became "Rock's Hottest Ticket" and got on the cover of Time magazine. A time when they were my band and not the world's band. Great memories...

The red trails and grain are on the VHS copy as well and they really don't bother me as I don't have a reference to any other way to see this. In other words, it's always looked like this and I've seen this SO many times. I'm watching this on a 52 inch projection TV and I think it looks great. Most of the picture is just fine to me, and only a couple of the camera angles ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Live at Red Rocks: It Rocks
Owned the VHS in 1986 when I was 16. Seeing it again reminds me how good this band was at the time it was recorded. Their performance also benefits from the unpolished style that the footage was shot in; I still enjoy the look of it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Will not work X2, so upset!
5 stars for U2, -2 two stars for we had to return this twice and Amazon.com wants to give us back our money the third time. I still want this so bad, we tried 3 home DVD players and two PC's DVD drives with no luck at all. I'd take an old DVD version, if I didn't know that the re-mastered version so much better. I'm going to to FRY's or Best Buy, thanks for trying Amazon.com.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Grainy but Excellent Sound -- Disappointing Overall
Just bought this DVD -- first I have to echo what several others have said: the grain on this video is BAD! Guess I had to see it for myself to believe it.

I still have my VHS tape of this concert, and I did a side-by-side comparison of tape to DVD. I don't think there's a person alive who could deny that my 17-year old videotape looks better than the DVD image. Sure, VHS tape is never going to be video perfection -- BUT the fact remains that the DVD quality is noticably worse. The lower image quality is noticable right away even during the host's introduction of U2.

What could account for this image degradation? A few possibilities: 1) the tape itself has deteriorated. I consider this unlikely, as I assume (hope) they stored the tape safely. 2) the DVD is revealing more ... Read More
