What a great experience!
6 November 2001
This is a truly great concert movie/documentary by U2. It captures the Joshua Tree tour with much great concert footage, and interviews of the band! The movie is in black and white, and the music is the essential part of the film! The film includes the best version I have ever heard of With Or Without You, which includes an extra verse not on the studio version which puts this song at stratospheric heights and on the top as the best live song ever, in my opinion. The live songs included are seven songs from The Joshua Tree (1987) (Where The Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, With Or Without You, Bullet The Blue Sky, Running To Stand Still, In God's Country & Exit), tree songs from The Unforgettable Fire (1984) (Pride (In The Name Of Love), Bad & MLK), one from War (1983) (Sunday Bloody Sunday), and All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan cover). I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, is actually a "live-in-studio"-in- church recording, with the Harlem Gospel Choir backing up, and is almost worth watching the movie itself. This track is not the one on the album. The movie also captures two studio recordings which is on the album Rattle And Hum (Desire & Angel Of Harlem) although Desire also is another version than the album version. Don't hesitate checking out this incredible musical experience! As Larry Mullen says: "It's a musical journey, really." . . .
