Rolling Stone Mag: "Rattle & Hum" In Top 25 Music DVDs Ever

[LyricalDrug]

Rolling Stone magazine has listed its Top 25 Music DVDs of all time, and U2's Rattle & Hum checks in at number 25.

We all know that it of course should have been numero uno, but hey, at least they put a pic of the boys on the front page of their website:

haha, oh god!

but seriously don't get me wrong i love that film but I've seen many DVDs to keep it from the number 1 spot.

 

[J_NP]

Not Number 1 , but definitely not only 25

 

[powerhour24]

Decent list, they should put together one for concert DVDs only though. Because Slane should so be there .

 

[Axver]

The only U2 DVD that should be in the top 25 is Under A Blood Red Sky.

Oh wait.

The Wilco movie was great. A good documentary.

The Radiohead film Meeting People Is Easy is good too.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

The only U2 DVD that should be in the top 25 is Under A Blood Red Sky.

Oh wait.

Oh Ax...you slay me!!!


But seriously boys...release the damn DVD already....ray:

Don't worry, I bet UABRS comes out next year for the 25th anniversary.

If anyone says Slane, Boston, or Chicago ... they are quite mistaken.

Oops wrong forum...

Seriously though, RAH...

 

[cobl04]

Very glad, but a little surprised to see it up there. I love that DVD.

Slane is teh best but.

 

[mysterious_jen]

theres some great movies in that list, need to check a few of those out, but i think u2 could have come in higher .

R&H contains the best concert footage of any band I have ever seen. It is beautifully filmed especially the black and white footage. I love the lighting and the contrast.

 

[Saracene]

R&H has some great concert footage, but overall I found it excruciating to sit through and could totally see why the band had copped it from the media at the time.

I'm absolutley with you: best concert footage of any band I have ever seen.

Perhaps some people need some more years to understand the beauty of this film.

 

[CTU2fan]

The film has some awkward moments, no doubt, but the concert footage is top-notch. If only Joanou could direct all their concert releases...ah, bliss.

 

[lazarus]

Am I crazy, or was Don't Look Back missing from that list? Yet No Direction home was on there?

Also, why no ZooTV? Isn't it regarded as more of a historically significant thing than Rattle & Hum? Not that most of these DVDs were simply just concerts, but in terms of the evolution of live rock performance I think it's integral and should be on any music DVD list.

It's interesting how Rattle & Hum has aged better with time. It got slammed when it came out(even by Rolling Stone if I remember right) but at the DVD release critics seemed to have given it a better review years later.

ZooTV was definately a more significant tour, but the DVD sucks in my opinion. The footage just missed the feeling of the show plus all the horrible superimposed words over the concert footage was executed badly.
