I thought that this DVD had the videos for the listed songs on the CD
Movie Review: No Gloria?..No I Will Follow???????? Summary: 3 Stars
Ok where do I start.Why does such a great band as U2 do this.Release after release of tunes we ALREADY own.And again,they do not include A Celebration.I Will Follow,Two Hearts Beat As One and Gloria as well.Those are but a few tracks/videos left off...why????.Just like the first BEST OF 1980-1990.This is already the 3rd best of,some great tunes are left out.Why cant someone over there get it right.You have a picture on the cover from the band when they were all not even 21.And we get vertigo,not once,not twice,but 3,three!!!! times.Why? Believe me..once is enough.The Saints isnt even on the video..its the live clip????..and Window In The Skies isnt on this either.The 2 new songs are not included.I guess they had to rush this out for the holidays in 06 like each year huh.We Have 2 versions of Stuck and Walk On..again.WHY????You can fit almost 3 hours of time on one dvd,so..why not include the tracks we did not get in the first 2 best of 80/90 and 91/2000???? Frustrating is what it is.Just like the fact that u2 DO NOT have NOT ONE live cd.For a band that is as great as u2 are they tend to drop the ball at times.But hey,at least we have the Vertigo lisbon version AND the hq versions to go with the reg. version right? and 3 versions of one?..I love the song but is the buffalo version really that important????.And not one version of Gloria.Whatever.Close to 30 videos could have been included.Maybe when u2 release the 4th best of next year, just in time for the holidays in 2008,again,we will get A Celebration?.Wishful thinking Im sure.
Movie Review: Disappointing Summary: 3 Stars
Whoever got the job of compiling this DVD should be shot at dawn because it is a poor representation of U2's history. There is no "Gloria", there is no "I will Follow", nor is there anything from Zooropa. Instead, the real focus is on the later years with the inclusion of two videos each for weak songs like "Walk on" and "Stuck in a moment" (both of which charted poorly internationally). There are three versions of "Vertigo". Why not just feature one version for each of these poor tracks which would then allow space for older videos like the first two I mentioned?
There are some positives, for example, an alternate version of "Pride" (on the special features") and "new years day" and "sunday bloody sunday" get an inclusion. You also get all three videos for "One" and the documentary for "One" is included (was also included on "Best of 1990-2000" DVD).
Die-hard fans will still want it, but overall it is a lost opportunity to present a comprehensive look at U2's history. How many versions of Vertigo on one DVD do we really want? None really.
Movie Review: How About A Complete Set??? Summary: 3 Stars
This compilation is so random. Obviously put together by the record label with no fan consideration. Where's "I Will Follow", "Celebration", and "The Unforgettable Fire"?? I love the old videos from "Boy" thru "The Unforgettable Fire"! Will there ever be a complete video set?? Chronological order would be nice!!
Movie Review: "I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND, WHAT I"M LOOKING FOR". Summary: 3 Stars
I agree, some of the other U2 videos, are missing, from this compilation. Plus, you get several versions of some of the other videos, instead, which becomes redundant.
