Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Comment: No need for too many words. U2 at their happiest, back home, playing live..... manifesting in a truelly amazing gig. Enjoy! Customer Rating: Summary: A great DVD Comment: I think that this is the best DVD I have got, I really enjoy listening to it and it has a great feel to it, like you are really there. Customer Rating: Summary: They've stopped taking themselves too seriously Comment: I have both the Live 8 & Live Aid DVDs and consider U2 to be among the highlights on both (especially "One" on Live 8). I was therefore keen to have more of their concert footage on DVD. I tried Rattle and Hum, which I found incredibly self indulgent, but gave them another chance with this one and I'm glad I did. This is just a simple start-to-finish record of the concert at Slane Castle. It's is impressively staged, with a slender slender arc that projects out from the stage so the band can get incredibly close to the audience. The sound and video quality are good, but what really marks this out is the fact that the band are so obviously enjoying themselves, and show huge gratitude to their fans for putting them where they are. This is a pleasant change from the dour introsepction of the 80s U2, and which so spoils Rattle & Hum. Customer Rating: Summary: Honest and Great Concert! Comment: To make it clear: I'm a huge U2 fan, own most of their CD's, also their other live performances. This live DVD contains the live performance of the Elevation Tour in front of the irish people from U2's home nation. To put it short: It is great! Nothing less. As usual the tracklist is very long, 19 tracks, mixing both older and newer stuff. If you compare it to the Vertigo DVD, it is a much more humble and hearttaking performance. Bono's voice is great and clear. Comparing it to the corresponding Live from Boston DVD, the audience is larger and create a great atmosphere. You could argue, that it misses some of U2's great tracks, like 'bad' a.o., however the concert is long enough to be worth the money. And you will find the greatest performance of 'one'. The bridge between 'all i want is you' and 'where the streets...' is genious, and in general they make no errors. So, are you thinking of buying it, do so. No disappointment. I prefer it among all U2's live DVD's. Customer Rating: Summary: u2 go home - live at slane castle Comment: Absolutely essential for any U2 fan. This is a live u2 gig during the elevation tour filmed at Slane castle, Ireland. The atmosphere being electric, the venue being terrific, and the band being magic, this is an amazing insight into the joy of seeing u2 live. With a brilliant set list, with the added joy of a documentary, this dvd will well be worth your money, and provide hours of entertainment, and it will bring U2 to your living room. Literally!
