Is this all material available on the DVD and bonus disc? An HD TV is still in the pretty distant future for me, but I'd be interested in seeing the footage if it's anything new.

It'll be intersting to see if the video source is the DVD and they are simply upconverting the resolution, or if they have a true High Definition recording of the show.

HD.net doesn't show upconversions. It was shot in hi-def too, so I'm sure it's the real deal.

HDNET shows lots of movies from the 80s, so those are upconverted. I did not see the U2 DVD mention high-def cameras. I also bought the Rush R30 DVD, and they made a big deal of the 14 HD cameras used to film it.

They are Hi-Def transfers then, not upconverts.

This http://www.eliteht.com/hdtv_events.htm also is a good guide for which channels do True Hi-Def and ones that do upconverts. Covers most Network and Available Hi-Def channels.

Hopefully, they will re-release U2 Chicago on HD DVD (or Blu-Ray) when those technologies are available.
