whens the last time you have watched the 90's video DVD?
Often. If I just want to listen to the song, I'm more likely to just stick in a CD, but a lot of the time, I want to kick back and flip through the videos on the DVD. Plus my mom, who likes U2 too, usually prefers to watch the videos than to just listen to the songs. She refers to it as "The Buffalo DVD".Chizip said:do people even watch these video DVDs?

Is that on the 90s DVD? If it is, then I've seriously never noticed it. It took me months before I finally noticed the alternate Staring at the Sun video.redhotswami said:The Discotheque alternate video rocks my world.

I might be wrong but I personally think the whole U218 thing has only really come about as a fulfilment for their post 'Pop' $50 million Polygram contract, which was for 3 compilations and 5 new albums if I remember rightly. I'm guessing they could have rushed this one through to fulfil their obligations on the compilations side of that deal as they prepare for the switchover to Mercury, although that still doesn't account for 3 new albums (2 if you don't count MDH).
So, maybe we might have seen the 80's DVD being released this year if it wasn't for U218 getting priority, but who knows.
I also seem to recall hearing back at the time about trouble sourcing high enough quality material for items they wanted to include on this DVD (probably extras) - but that is a distant memory and I might be getting mixed up with the Zoo TV DVD, or potential Mexico 97 and Red Rocks DVD's.
This is a cool alternative anyhow, and like others who have posted here whilst I don't watch the 90's DVD regularly (mainly as I've seen them all a million times over the years lol) I'll maybe take a look once every couple of years perhaps, its still great to have there as a visual document and reminder of U2 as they were through the 90's.
Bring on the 80's Best Of

whoa...i feel like i'm seeing double! must be a popular name
I had NO IDEA there was a potential RR DVD omg PLEASE! All I have is a crap quality tape when I recorded it from a video store I used to work at.
There's only one director on the title screen for Discotheque, which is Sednaoui. Maybe you've got it mixed up with one of the other songs that has an alternate video.redhotswami said:
When your at the title screen for the video, just move your control arrow down. It looks like one video was made by 2 directors, so it is kinda misleading. But just move to select the one by the second director
