I went home this weekend and just happened to run across the UF home video, which was sort of hidden away. So I'm pretty sure that it's going to be my Christmas present since nobody else in my family is a true U2 fan. I haven't seen the video before, so I was wondering what I can expect from it. What sort of things are on it?
 
Hey it's an xmas present...don't you want to be surprised?

Sorry- I don't know much about this video, but I have another video question and it was never answered in a different forum place.

is the zootv video from sydney? and if so, is that the performance Adam missed?

and if so, why would anyone even buy that video if the whole band is not playing?
 
Ppppplllllleeeeaaaaasssssseeee! I'm dying to know what the video is about!

It is a good question you raise. And here is the answer. Yes, the performance is from Sydney. But no, it is not the one that Adam missed. The band played several (at least 2) shows in Sydney during that tour. Adam missed the first one, which was actually intended to be a sort of "dress rehearsal" for the video in terms of getting the angles and shots set up right. He WAS at the actual taping which was the second show. And it is an awesome video...if you don't have it, I recommend it!

well...i didn't want to be the one to spoil your surprise....adam looked really different during that time, he had gained some weight (but still looked cute).
the video has some live performance footage i'd totally forgotten about. that was a nice treat.
i also enjoyed the footage from the 'making of UF'.....hope it helps!
hope i did not spoil the surprise too much!

I have that vid too! I actually really enjoy it. SG is right, the making of stuff is very cool. You'll like it Bjork!

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real disney land , but it was getting pretty late.

Meeting Larry:
*MG shows Larry poster*
*Larry reads poster*
*Larry smiles and says "Thank you that's very nice of you"*
*Larry signs paper, shakes MG's hand*
*MG almost dies then sees tearaway pants and gets bad ideas*

In a small excerpt you can see a bloody young Bono sitting in an armchair scribbling something on his notepad. Like his tiny feet with those blue socks......

Alright, I won't say anything more. I always enjoyed watching that vid.
 
actually it's a great little video. I used to own a copy but I won't get into that. It has some good bits inside the castle and the recording studio.

Has the original Pride video on it - I believe they released a different version of it commercially. Some good Bono adlibbing. There was one part where he's at the soundboard and he lights a match puts it in his mouth puts it out and blows the smoke - I remember seeing that and thinking not a good thing to show the kiddies. They show Eno filming a total eclipse which was cool.
And then theres the videos.

It's a good watch - sorry maybe I shouldn't tell you so you'd be surprised.

Enjoy
 
I love it! Bono is so cute writing in his little notebook! I like the part where Brian Eno asks them to come outside and look at the eclipse.
