U2 Heads 'Home' On DVD

A Sept. 1, 2001, concert at Ireland's Slane Castle is the basis for the upcoming DVD release "U2 Go Home." Due Nov. 18 via Interscope, the title finds the band performing 19 songs in front of more than 160,000 people in its homeland. The show was one of two at the outdoor venue that marked the close of the band's Elevation world tour in support of 2000's "All That You Can't Leave Behind."

Three audio selections on the DVD offer the music in PCM Stereo, DTS and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Aspect ratio 16:9. The DVD also features a documentary on the making of the band's 1984 album "The Unforgettable Fire," which was recorded at Slane Castle. The feature has been remastered for this release.

In addition, the DVD acts as a DVD ROM that includes a U2 calendar, screensavers and Web links, as well as a "Spincam" feature that provides the viewer an interactive, 360 degree view of three songs from the concert.

"U2 Go Home" continues the veteran band's tradition of concert films that began with 1983's "Under a Blood Red Sky," shot at Colorado's dramatic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The theatrical documentary/concert film "Rattle and Hum" followed in 1988. The band has also released "Zoo TV: Live From Sydney" (1994), "Popmart" (1998) and last year's "Elevation Tour: Live From Boston."

U2 is working on its next studio album and is expected to tour next year, according to sources.

"Elevation"
"Beautiful Day"
"Until the End of the World"
"New Year's Day"

Thanks for the info. I'll be getting this DVD as soon as it hits the shelves.

U2 in DTS?

BDB

Not bad the only track missing is Mysterious ways, not sure why.

I will get this for sure, being that Slane is 6 mile from my parents house.

Is it just me, or is this the same exact play-list as their Evolution dvd set?

What's the point?

It's a little different, but I see your point. I would much rather have a DVD from the Zoo TV tour or Popmart.

I am happy to have the unforgettable fire thing on there as well nice little bonus

Decker

I don't. Please explain.

BDB

basically the show was recorded for HBO I think and the DVD, and with the heart basically whoever was lined up first got into the heart, up to the 300 people or whatever was the limit.

So of course because it was to be televised, some producer had the brainwave of bringing in all the hot people and putting them in the heart, this did not go dow well with everyone who had lined up from the early morning to get into it.

So when it came time for one, the people who had got into the heart all sat down on the floor.

That does not make for very good television
