I am quite excited by this prospect

My brother used to own the video of this and it was amazing. Its a band at their peak in performance and creativity. I think people forget how big of a risk and a departure that U2 took to go this direction from where they were at come the end of the Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum eras. My oldest brother queued up at midnight for the release of Achtung Baby and said that when he put it on the first time he thought that the cd was broken. Roll on September release!

Filmed at the Football Stadium in Sydney, Australia, in November 1993 - and now only available on something called VHS – the film is directed by David Mallet and produced by Ned O’Hanlon and Rocky Oldham.
