I saw this, and it inspired me to want to listen to a U2 concert. So out came the go Home disc, a recording of the second big concert 20 years after their first Slane Castle concert. Seriously, how many bands can draw a crowd of 80,000 people at a venue they where they had a concert only one week prior? Anyways, lacking DVD-A or SACD, it's hard to beat a well done 5.1 channel DTS mix. I'm the type of person who'd much rather sit on the couch and listen to a good recording of a concert than have to go to one, so the experience is hard to beat. Unfortunately I've had this disc for almost 3 years, and haven't listened to it nearly often enough. If any U2 fans ever want to listen to it (or watch it), as far as I'm concerned it's fair game for a movie night.

I've always liked U2's music. I've always liked Green Day's music too... until they played with U2. I've never thought about it much but Green Day really is a studio band. Their music sounds way better when engineered. U2 on the other hand is actually more amazing live. They are the best band I've ever seen in concert.
Last time they were in MN the opening band was Dashboard Confessional. After U2 came on, I called DC, Dashboard Crapfessional. It isn't that they are a bad band, I actually like them, but U2 is just that great that they make good bands sound like high schoolers playing in a garage.
