Where do you get something like that on dvd??
Tourist and Bonocomet,
For future reference, sign up with U2torrents.com and learn how to use bittorrent so you can download all these U2 bootlegs on your own, no need to trade for them.
In the meantime, give me your mailing addresses and I'll send each of you a copy of the U2 War Tour Loreley gig DVD. I converted it to NTSC so it's viewable in North America.
I'm particularly fond of the Loreley DVD because it really conveys the ambience of the War Tour back then. As great as the UABRS video is, it really doesn't give me the "feel" of how the War Tour actually was.
The UABRS video made it seem really epic and big, whereas I remember feeling like we were part of a very small, cool underground club of fans watching their Irish buddies play a ragged but energetic show in SF the same week as the Red Rocks gig, with Edge's rig blowing up during the first song (OOC) and Bono getting all pissed off about it.
What's striking about the Loreley DVD is how apprehensive the fans are at first, watching Bono climbing all over the place. You can see a lot of people laughing at him. It makes you wonder how many in the audience even knew much about U2 at that point, maybe they heard NYD on the radio and decided to check them out, not knowing who this Bono character was.
By the end of the show, however, the crowd is completely won over... another load of U2 converts!
Cheers,
Nick
