Customer Rating:      Summary: About time...and beautifully restored! Comment: This concert at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre was a defining moment in U2's history. Everything about it was just at the right time. It was 1983 and the War album was riding the charts...MTV showed an abridged version of their set, and now a full 25 years later the entire concert is available at last on DVD. The picture quality is super, though it revelas a few of the technological flaws of video back then...there is the inevitable trail from some of the lights that looks like wires across the sky, but that does very little to detract from what this show was all about: the music. Their energy, their presence (and how young they looked) and the fact that they added 5 more songs to the originally aired program make this package well worth the long wait. I hadn't realized this hadn't been released on DVD until I had purchased a couple of their other concert collections. This was the big one...the one that blew things wide open and showed the world this was a band who'd be around for a long time to come. The deluxe versions of the early albums and The Joshua Tree are must-have material for any real U2 fan wanting all the extra music in one place. My only complaint about the CD & DVD collection would be that the CD is still the eight-song version and not all 19 tracks, but it's a minor one...all 19 songs are on the DVD to enjoy. Now, if they'll update The Unforgettable Fire, I'll be really pleased too!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Video quality Comment: I am huge U2 fan, but I have to say, I was shocked when I put this DVD in my player to watch. I love the sound, but I just can't get past the fact that for some cameras angles, on most of the songs, the video has streaks/lines going thru the entire screen. If these are lines that were the result of the method used to tape the show, fine. However, one would think if they transferred the original video to a digital copy, that they could tidy up the lines and remove most of them (or cover them up with color that matches the background?).
Can someone confirm that this is the way the DVD looks, or is it possible I purchased a bad DVD?
Customer Rating:      Summary: Can anyone help with this Comment: I just purchased the cd/dvd combo but when i played the dvd i noticed some red lines on my screen? is this normal for the type of recording that they did for this concert? I would just like to know? If anyone can help it will be great!
Customer Rating:      Summary: U2 explodes onto the American scene Comment: I'm one of those old timers who saw U2 back on the WAR tour--not, unfortunately, at Red Rocks, but at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium. When I watch this DVD and look at those fresh-faced kids in the audience--especially the ones being interviewed before the show, I see myself and my friends at the very same age. Like them, I remember eagerly anticipating what I hoped would be "an excellent concert," as the kid in the 'do-rag so wonderfully--and accurately--predicts.
For years, I've been trying to put my finger on what it was that amazed me so much about my first U2 concert, and this DVD has finally helped me to figure it out: I went to see a band with one hit ("New Year's Day"), and I left the show feeling like I'd seen the greatest band of all time. (Twenty five years later, maybe I was right.)
Although "I Will Follow" had reportedly gotten some airplay in America before the WAR tour, I had never heard it, and I'd venture to guess that most American kids who went to see the WAR tour were just like me; they only knew "New Year's Day," and they were just hoping for a decent show by a relatively new band. What we got--and what this DVD shows so beautifully--was an entire evening of incredible music--no "filler" whatsoever--performed by a positively electrifying group of guys who seemed like they'd been doing this forever. Even though we'd never heard any of this music before, we stomped and cheered for multiple encores.
Today, everybody knows what a great concert U2 delivers. Back at Red Rocks, no one knew what to expect, but we all got, as this DVD shows, the total U2 experience. Whatever U2 has now, they undeniably had it back then, too--and no one who saw them in those days needed a crystal ball to predict their future. The older I get, the more concerts I've seen, the luckier I feel to have witnessed U2 on the WAR tour.
Don't hesitate to buy this DVD. Without exaggerating, this is rock & roll at its best.
Customer Rating:      Summary: No..no the cut the middle of "Electric co. Comment: Finally..finally i was waiting years for the DVD..i was the only one who had the tv version on video which had songs not on the original VHS and "The Electric Co" was one..WHY DID THEY EDIT THE SONG HERE!!! the whole "send in the clowns" middle was cut!!! why?? they can't say..malfuction..I HAD IT AND IT'S ON YOU TUBE, this is why my family and i are so fed up with new DVD releases. They think we are all fools and would not notice the cuts. I'm sending mine back. That's why only two stars..would have been 50 stars but they had to cut stuff..un-real.
