Such a frustrating disappointment

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Music is the language of feelings, and for me, U2 embodies the best of humanity: Love, Peace, Compassion. Their songs, friendship, dedication are as much proof of this evidence. Who can't be moved by such integrity ? With this tour, they come back to simplicity: no big screen, no pop extravaganza… It's a pity: they were the only ones to deliver this package and it was as much fun as it was truth.About the music, I am disappointed to hear always the same classic on their DVD, even if all the "unplugged" songs are great: "Wake up", "Desire", "Staring at the sun", "Angel of Harlem"...But as long as I have those goose bumps: Thanks U2 for giving me such primal feelings! In bonus, you got a making-of about the song "Pride" 23 years ago at Slane Castle... Even after 3 big records, the band stayed simple (look at their clothes) and their only drive was music not money!!!!

I wasn't a big u2 fan...I didn't know much about them..but I heard some of their songs and I decided to pick up this DVD after seeing it in the store...Since then I am a complete fanatic...this concert is amazing...If u like u2 or not...watch this...they kick it off nicely with elevation and really rock the crowd...U get goosebumps listening to Sunday bloody Sunday because u can tell the passion the band members have for it...and they end it all with walk on which was also glorious...I wish every day I was at this concert...also check out vertigo in Chicago...another great DVD..Apparently I need to write more...Kite is a very emotional track...people who have seen this...there is a close up on the edge during the song...if u look at his face u can see he is feeling bonos pain due to the loss of his father...u2 rocks....

"U2: Live in Slane" has to be one of the most amazing concerts ever broadcasted on Network Television. The crowd in this concert was great, and U2 got them jumping and dancing with some of their classics such as "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Where The Streets Have No Name." They also performed some of their early songs, like "Out of Control." Watching this concert, was like i was reliving the ones i went to. I'm part Irish, so maybe that's why i act as crazy as they do in concerts. Overall, this concert was amazing!!!

It was totally awesome overall. The music was good (the tight rhythm section of Larry and Adam, and the great guitar work of The Edge), but Bono's performance style stole the show. The only main problems were: Too many camera cuts, too many crowd shots, having multiple cameras with different frame rates, and also the band playing most of their greatest hits in different keys so they sound like crap. Surprisingly, The Edge was quoted backstage: "I hope we don't sound like crap."
