U2 Live

U2 - DVD Videos

The Early Live Years 1979-1982

 

 

 

 

Review:

The DVD is an absolute must have. The quality of all clips is excellent -- with the Berlin '81 footage better than any other version I have seen. The early TV clips are priceless...when we first see the band during their performance on Youngline, Larry is wearing a red jacket reminiscent of the one later worn by Michael Jackson. He looks sheepishly into the camera and grins nervously. Edge, too, seems to be scared by the camera -- his awareness of its presence made all too obvious by his actions. Edge and Adam both have hair that is bigger than big. Bono is wearing a white jacket and tight pants -- his overall look is very Mick Jagger. Things only get worse from there in terms of fashion -- Bono is wearing a pair of Michael Jackson-esqe gloves during the performance of "Life On A Distant Planet" on Pop On the Box. Many of the songs are lip-synched -- often badly. Watching U2 perform as the very type of processed music that they would later become the antithesis of is hilarious! 

There are chapters/track divisions within each portion of the DVD, but they are not in the proper locations . Therefore, I haven't even bothered to list the track divisions here. Plan on watching each portion of the DVD all the way through to avoid to avoid headaches.
