This is the best DVD that I own! The audio/video presentation of the concert is excellent and at times you feel like you are right in the front row. WOW -- What a show. These guys will rock for years to come and this is definately worth the 25 bucks!

I just got the U2 Elevation dvd and so far it's what I expected. The way the concert goes from black&white to color is interesting. And the camera doesn't stay locked into one view. The sound is great. I don't know how good of a sound system the other person who said the sound quality of the dvd wasn't good, but it was good enough for me. Maybe he/she didn't pick the correct audio options in the dvd menu. You can choose either PCM stereo or Dolby Digital 5.1. Digital 5.1 is the way to go if you have a hometheater system with at least 5 speakers hooked up. With 5.1, you feel like you're part of the concert. With this Elevation dvd, you have to be careful. Once you put it in, it will automatically start the concert in just Stereo mode unless you change it to Dolby Digital 5.1. Maybe that's what happened to the other guy.

At first I saw the U2 DVD concert for sale I was unsure about if it will be a rip off, but it's so intense...If you get it - and you should - put it in your DVD player and turn it up and you'll soon forget where you are. It literally takes you into the concert with tons of special features. If you're a U2 fan this is for you!!! Some songs on it are...New York, Beautiful Day, Elevation, With or With out you, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Where the Streets Have no Names, Walk on and much more....Have Fun!-Tommy

This disc contains a ton of their hit songs and the video quality is awesome. I have never seen a concert video that looks this good. Unfortunately, the audio quality does not match the video quality. If you have a good quality hi-fi setup and appreciate high resolution sound, you will be disappointed.
