I'm really really curious to hear why you think that.
OK, here's some elaboration.
1. Under A Blood Red Sky - far and away the best release. Amazing performances of amazing songs, without a weak spot on the entire video. 11 O'clock Tick Tock is a particular high point.
2. Rattle And Hum - like UABRS, it has some amazing performances of amazing songs, though it has a few moments I skip (mainly just ISHFWILF, the Elvis part, and the subpar Watchtower). The great moments are truly great: Exit, Bad, WOWY, SBS, etc.
3. Popmart Mexico - beautifully shot with some quality songs. Proves that the Pop songs really went off live.
4. Vertigo Chicago - three words: The Electric Co. Putting aside all the production concerns, it has a great set and I really enjoy the music.
5. ZooTV Sydney - I'm just not really a ZooTV fan, though this could be interchangeable with #3 and #4 if my mood is right. Very well shot and a few great songs, like Dirty Day and Bullet.
6. Elevation Boston - Nothing special. Hamish's crap shooting on Vertigo Chicago can be overlooked because of some of the great performances, but Bono's voice isn't as good at Boston and the set doesn't have as many high points. Worth watching just for Gone and The Fly, though.
7. Elevation Slane - Doesn't do much for me and the set's weaker than Boston. Last time I watched it, I skipped tracks like crazy and only ended up watching about five songs in full.
