Hello everybody. Wasn't sure where to put this thread but thought this could be a good spot for it.
I have a friend who has heard U2 rather casually over the years but really doesn't "know" their music well. Knowing that I'm a big U2 fan my buddy mentioned seeing U2 perform City Of Blinding Lights Live in Los Angeles on an HBO show called Entourage. He enjoyed the performance and now wants to see U2 in concert the next time they tour. I suggested in the meantime watching one of U2's concerts on DVD and my friend agreed.
So the question is: What is your suggestion for the best DVD for a newbie? The obvious candidates are the official releases: Vertigo Chicago, Elevation Boston, Elevation Slane. I'm not sure if there is a "good enough" non-official release for a 1st timer but wanted to hear suggestions on what you would show your friend knowing you have only 1 chance to make a good 1st impression.
My friend "likes" Blinding Lights and Vertigo so Chicago "should" be an easy choice. Personally I much prefer the 2 Elevation shows of the official releases but I'm not sure my personal feelings should get in the way.
What DVD showcases the boys from Dublin at their best while still offering a great set for a newbie?
THANKS!
