And now there are 3 !! Glad to see someone else agrees. :applaud:


PopMart WAS a big deal, PopMart IS a big deal, and PopMart will ALWAYS BE a big deal. Period !! :bow: :love:
 
Best setlist of any of the DVD releases. I missed that tour because of a broken femur. I saw Zoo TV but god I wish I had been able to see that Popmart stage in person.

Watch Edge walking from the B-stage after SBS. Notice how the camera switches angle and suddenly he is much closer to the camera right as BTBS starts ? The screen even goes blank for a split second.

I checked again, but I didn't notice this.
However, it does seem that the layer change of the DVD is at the start of Bullet... So maybe that's what you're seeing.
 
I really like this DVD, but I must say that the dancing transvestite sequence kinda ruined the last half of the show. Before that, I was thinking, "Wow, this show is so great!" Afterwards, I was trying to think of where I could hide the DVD to make sure that the rest of my family won't find it. :yikes:

But other than that small, freaky detail, it's great!

Maybe. What is a "DVD layer change" ?

They use a "dual layer" dvd for this concert (as most). When the end of a layer is reached it changes to the other layer so to speak.

You always get a slight pause inbetween that. And that's is at the start of BTBS yes.

The DVD has 2 layers with information (unlike a CD which has only one), with one layer being edged a bit more deeply in the DVD than the other layer. This way, it can store more information. When the laser has reached the end of the first layer it needs a little time to find the start of the second layer. This is the layer change.
Whether or not you notice it depends on the DVD and the player. Sometimes I notice it, sometimes I don't.

Anyway, that's what's happening at the start of Bullet... when Edge is swinging his guitar to play the first note.

What is the Last Night On Earth - First Night In Hell clip on the bonus DVD?

And what is up with that terrible guy/girl thing that dances on the lemon perfecto mix? Seriously, the only reason I could imagine they would put that in there is to see if they could cause the audience some sort of psychological damage. And yes, I know they were trying to buy time but that part odf the show is pointless.

AWW.. feel better! I've been sick too this weekend but I finally got it today!! :D
 
The sound quality is excellent.

Best moment of the Mexico-City show: the loud guitar riff at the start of BTBS. Magic...
 
That's my problem, I've only had time to sample some bonus features, I need to take some time to watch the whole thing.

Yes, I'm sure I'll be making use of the "skip" button in the future. :wink:

I've heard people say, "I love the PopMart video, but there are parts that I always fast-forward through." I used to wonder what they were talking about.
 
Just watched it, unfortunately I couldn't get super pumped :( I kinda just sat on the couch and watched it, still thought it was great. The highlights for me are Mofo, Last Night on Earth (what an ending!!), Please/Streets (ending :faint: ) All I Want is You, SATS, Discotek was pretty cool, and One :love:

That final verse pwns all.

Worst part of the DVD - whatever the fuck was on the screen during Lemon.
