Product Description
Paramount U2 Rattle and Hum (Blu-ray)
A concert movie on an unprecedented scale. Rattle and Hum captures U2-on and off the stage-during their triumphant Joshua Tree tour. From the giant technicolor stadium celebrations to the black-and-white intensity of the indoor shows, this is U2 at their best. Follow the group across America, exploring new influences,playing with the legendary B.B. King, on a journey which takes them from Dublin to Graceland, from San Francisco to the streets of Harlem, from The Joshua Tree to Rattle and Hum.

Rattle and Hum is not a film for anyone looking for an introduction to Irish band U2's career in the 1980s, but it is a vibrant portrait of an established group making its musical pilgrimage through the America it has always imagined through blues, gospel, and early rock 'n' roll. Filmmaker Phil Joanou (Heaven's Prisoners), a veteran music-video director and maker of the distractingly kinetic Three O'Clock High, finds a suitable outlet for his high energy in this juggernaut of a journey, which finds U2 collaborating with a black gospel choir and B.B. King, recording inside the legendary Sun Records studio, dropping by Graceland, and in a moment of fearlessness, performing the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" to exorcise Charles Manson's sick claim on the song. --Tom Keogh

 U2 Rattle and Hum September 23, 2008

I am on my second order for this disc and niether of the discs will load in any of my DVD players. I think there is a manufacturing issue.
 Still haven't found... all I want is you... September 8, 2008
I can't fricken believe it. One of the most famous moments of this concert isn't on the stupid DVD! In the day, MTV played the living daylights out of ALL I WANT IS YOU. The famed video shows Bono (I believe) roaming the stage with a big spotlight, and when the Edge does this simple but powerful lick, the entire stage explodes with light. It's AMAZING... and for some stupid reason... omitted from this disc. Well, the song is there, but they ROLL CREDITS instead of SHOW THE PERFORMANCE!!!
This is the MTV historical equivalent of playing credits during Michael Jackson's THRILLER instead of including the video on his video hits collection. Are you kidding?!? And seeing how some diehard U2 fans seem to dislike this film, why not add in needed bonuses.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
 A great Blu Ray disc from Paramount! August 7, 2008
This is a great Blu Ray Disc from Paramount,much better than the standard DVD,I was lucky enough to find it on sale for the same price as the DVD so I went Blu Ray and I was not dissapointed,the extras are the pretty much the same as the DVD though!!! A recommended Blu Ray title for the U2 fan!!!By the way,this title was briefly out of print due to the HD Blu Ray War,but since Blu Ray was the victor it's now available again to the retail public!!! A+
"This song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles, now were steeling it back". February 18, 2008

"This song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles, now were steeling it back".
Bono "singing" Helter-Skelter sounds incredibly unprofessional, he can't seem to get the timing or the lyrics right. Check it out if you get a chance it is ridiculous!
In my opinion remaking a Beatles song is a sin!
The pompous moron who calls himself Bono is the last person who should be remaking Beatles songs. Bono has always compared his inept, politically motivated band, U2 to the Beatles. If U2 were going to be the next Beatles they missed their window back in the Eighties! The Beatles did it in 7 Years; U2 has had 28 years to do it! Compare the two bands total Number 1 singles. U2, 4 UK and 2 US Billboard Hot 100. Yet the Beatles have released a 79 minute album called Beatles 1. This album contains 27 Number One Hits from a band that released their first studio album in 1963, Please Please Me, and their last studio album in 1970, Let it be. The Beatles had 7 years total time releasing original studio recorded music!
