 Bad video? Come again? June 28, 2010

What are you people watching? The video quality on this disc is certainly of blu-ray quality. I would have liked the editors to give us more lingering shots on the individual performers, but detail was WAY beyond DVD. Are you guys using the composite cable that came with your player or something?
Audio (specifically the DTS-MA 5.1 track) is of superb quality. The details in Edge's guitar work is great to hear! Audience ambience is nice, but does not compete with the performances.
As for the 1080i video, it is important to use the best deinterlacing component in your setup. At first I was letting my BDP-320 Pioneer player do the job, but I was getting some judder, so I switched the player to Source Direct (a feature ALL blu-ray players should have!) and my VIZIO sv470xvt1a LCD TV surprisingly did an excellent job. Motion artifacts were gone, video was smooth as silk.
Awesome concert disc June 13, 2010

I have just watched the blu-ray of this concert and have been blown away. I was a bit nervous after reading some of the negative reviews here, but as an owner of almost every U2 concert available on DVD I must say this one ranks as one of my top 3 (with Slane and Zoo TV - with Red Rocks just a little behind) as an exciting and explosive entertainment experience.
Trust me - the editing is great - it suits each song (check out Vertigo) - and adds to the excitement (it does not jump around all the time, there are long shots when there need to be). U2 are in great form as well, sounding much better than on the Vertigo tour DVD.
The stage and lighting are incredible, the setlist is great (nice to see and hear a few songs we haven't seen before - like Ultra Violet and In A Little While). I like 'Pride' as much as the next fan but have heard quite enough of it for now. The only minor quibble is I would like the band to play something off Pop again.
The extras are fun, it's nice to have the promo videos from the new album, the Berlin timelapse was interesting - did it really take 2-3 days to set everything up? Wow. Nice booklet as well.
The sound and video quality were fantastic on my setup (I watched on a large screen projector with dts sound). The blu-ray defaults to stereo so I'm wondering if some reviewers here didn't know to switch to the multi-channel sound.
Like they say - you can't please all the people all the time - but I would suggest running to the nearest store (or putting this in your Amazon basket) without delay if you like U2 or have been wondering what all the fuss is about - this is entertainment at its best.
I love it June 19, 2010

Despite the other reviews posted here, for live concert footage, this is pretty darn good. The editing was reasonable - not too shifty. The picture and audio quality are simply fine. This is a must-have disk.
One of the Finest Live Videos of U2 out There! June 30, 2010

I am a long term U2 fan since they hit the US in 1980 with their album "Boy". Having collected many U2 video concerts, some good, some not so good, some terrible, I rate this one as one of their best!!!!! The performance was right on. The collection of songlist spanned back to 1983 to current and most importantly, the video and sound quality of this Blueray is superb!
When I say this, I think back on U2 Live from Mexico City where the excited roar of the crowd drowned out the band in the background through musical passages of the performance and was absolutely annoying. Here you see U2 at the top of their game with great video quality, camera angles, and especially great sound. A must have for any U2 fan.
gave me chills! July 5, 2010

I haven't purchased many concerts on DVD or Blu-ray, but after seeing the U2 360 tour in person, I had to buy the DVD. The concert is incredibly well put together and the audio made me happy I splurged on the nice speakers and blu-ray player.
