  1. Glad they put the dates next to each song. I would have lost track otherwise! Actually, it makes you wander if the other version may have tracks from different shows.

  7. Actually in the past U2 have edited the videos they’ve released together from multiple shows. If you look at the Boston DVD for example, some of the songs came from 06/06 while others came from the night before on 06/05. The Bono cam footage came from 06/09. Most noticible is probably Gone, where the main performance is from 06/06 up until the end – the Edge threw his little “tantrum” the night before. Elevation uses a lot of footage from the first night in Boston for visuals but the audio is from the second night.

    In the Mexico video, if you watch you can see the footage flips back and forth between the two nights. One thing to watch for is the girl blowing bubbles in the crowd – she was there both nights, but on different sides of the b-stage each night. You can watch her jump sides during the Mexico footage.

  11. Thought Mexico’s one hadnt been edited, at the most the waiting for Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill me to kick in. Also, I think it was shown live by some TV broadcaster *shrug* anyway, looks good.

  13. that’s disturbing! I don’t understand why there’s a special edition in Usa and not in Europe!
    Grrrrrrr

  15. Seven bucks says the special edition is footage of ‘Beautiful Day,”New York,’ and ‘Bad’ from Farmclub.com – I think they’ve only shown up as B-sides about 20 times now. U2 is not exactly known for digging up rarities when it comes to fan-extras.

  17. There is nothing saying there won’t be a special edition in Europe. The promotional information was specific to the US market only. If the US does get a special edition it is likely that other countries may as well.

    As for Mexico – the audio appears to be all from one evening, but some of the video footage jumps between the two nights.

  21. the goal is slane ! the single reason for buying the elevation DVD was The Fly, multiple reasons for buying slane include Out Of Control, the most moving version of Streets, and it should be privilege for all music lovers to be presented with this DVD !!!

    woohooooooooo, the goal is slane !

  25. The Boston DVD has about another 5 edits on it not counting missing songs. Both the Mexico show and ZooTV sydney videos differ from the payper view versions.

  27. how long will the limited edition version be available? like, for instance, will it still be available at christmas or will they pull it from the shelves like they supposedly did with the “best of”s?

  29. perhaps the limited edition will be a bonus DVD containing videos from the 80’s. we are in need of this given that the best of 80-90 has no DVD to go with it yet. here’s hoping!

  33. apparently the slane performance of a sort of homecoming was, to put it kindly, one for the nostalgia buffs only. u2 have never been great at slipping in high quality performances of relatively unrehearsed songs. unlike pearl jam say, u2 don’t pull old songs out of the bag very well.

  37. Why is Mysterious Ways being left off of the track list like the Boston DVD? It’s supposed to be the complete Slane concert, why make it an Easter Egg?!! One of the best songs and most interesting video presentations from the ATYCLB tour, why can’t they just leave it in? Very frustrating!!!
    I hope that it at least IS included as an Easter Egg! grrrr…..
