"What a piece of junk. Don't waste your time or money. I'm a die hard fan that buys many U2 items for collecting purposes only, like books that I don't have time to read, but this isn't even worth sitting on your shelf. I would give this 0 stars if the rating system allowed it. Because this is an unauthorized DVD, there is no original music, which seriously detracts from it. Even in the few snipnets you get of live footage, the music is eliminated. They created some U2-sounding fake music that was dubbed in here and there, but it is bad. The worst part though is the "Packed With Exclusive Interviews" note on the box, which is false advertising if you ask me. There are no real interviews with any band members. The interviews are with a bunch of no-names who "shed their insight" into the band and whose opinions are roughly as informative and enlightening as mine. Who are these guys? An old classmate of the band talking in front of a basketball hoop? Some other pub owner? Some guy sitting on his couch? And sometimes they dub in still frames of pictures of U2, most already widely released in a book somewhere, to these guys chatter. The whole thing appears low budget too, with lame graphics and a U2 quiz that has several inaccuracies. Overall this DVD is a joke, a waste of an hour of my time and not worth the cost of the disc."

Horrible

"I am an avid U2 fan now for 15 yrs and this is by far the worst U2 documentary i have ever seen of the band. No U2 music, no interviews from the band themselves, no concert footage. Its just horrible. Please do not purchase this DVD, it is totally not worth it."

God-awful

"I had this review page open for five minutes before I started typing, trying to think of something positive to say about this DVD, but I couldn't. This was the worst DVD purchase I have made ever! This deserves 0 stars, but I'll give it the one star just because it is about U2. As a die-hard fan, I think we should be refunded after watching this garbage. You should read the back cover of the DVD, "40 minutes of interviews with the band" and "insider revelations on all band members." LIES!! LIES!!! There is almost no interviews with the band, and as for the people that are interviewed, I bet more than half of them have never even met u2.Unauthorized. How perfect is that to describe this DVD? Somebody probably put it together in their basement. There is no u2 music, no information of any substance, and I pray I could rewind my life back one hour so I could take back the 60 mins I wasted on viewing this DVD. I would recommend the "Vanilla Ice: Behind the Music" DVD before this...yes my friends, that's how awful this is. Just kidding. Or am I? One of the reasons why u2 are the greatest rock band is because of their following, their fans are very loyal. And there is a lot of u2 merchandise floating around, so to those u2 fans, stay away from this DVD! Go Pick up the "Slane Castle Concert," which is absolutely amazing...or save the money and use it to buy the "ZOO TV: Sydney" or "Popmart: Mexico City" DVDs if they are ever released."
