 Will not work X2, so upset! November 23, 2008
Eric C. Blaydes
5 stars for U2, -2 two stars for we had to return this twice and Amazon.com wants to give us back our money the third time. I still want this so bad, we tried 3 home DVD players and two PC's DVD drives with no luck at all. I'd take an old DVD version, if I didn't know that the re-mastered version so much better. I'm going to to FRY's or Best Buy, thanks for trying Amazon.com.
Grainy but Excellent Sound -- Disappointing Overall November 20, 2008

Just bought this DVD -- first I have to echo what several others have said: the grain on this video is BAD! Guess I had to see it for myself to believe it. br / br /I still have my VHS tape of this concert, and I did a side-by-side comparison of tape to DVD. I don't think there's a person alive who could deny that my 17-year old videotape looks better than the DVD image. Sure, VHS tape is never going to be video perfection -- BUT the fact remains that the DVD quality is noticably worse. The lower image quality is noticable right away even during the host's introduction of U2. br / br /What could account for this image degradation? A few possibilities: 1) the tape itself has deteriorated. I consider this unlikely, as I assume (hope) they stored the tape safely. 2) the DVD is revealing more clearly the inherent flaws in the original tape. This is possible, but my DVD set of "Barney Miller" looks just fine and that was a TV show from the late 70's! 3) The producers did a piss-poor job with this DVD transfer. I believe this to be the most likely reason. br / br /Of course, they butchered "Electric Co." as many others have noted. I was disappointed but not surprised about this one -- I think they figure "why bother paying for song use rights when this issue will only be noticed by a relatively small number of customers?" br / br /Why do I still give it 3 stars? The SOUND is much improved, as expected, which is critical since the CD version is a measly 8 songs, most of which did NOT come from the Red Rocks concert. Also, this DVD does include several more songs than the VHS version so those are great to have.
 About time...and beautifully restored! October 30, 2008

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!
Video quality October 25, 2008

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?). br / br /Can someone confirm that this is the way the DVD looks, or is it possible I purchased a bad DVD?
Can anyone help with this October 23, 2008

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!
