Pop Customer Review: Why are you even thinking about this ?
I mean really ? Discotheque aside, there is no reason to listen to this album, ever. If you’re a U2 fan then why aren’t you listening to Joshua Tree, Actung baby, Zooropa or Unforgetable fire, all waaaay better than this. If you’ve never really heard of U2 then go and buy one the U2 albums I just mentioned. It’s not a rubbish album by any means, but if you’re going to listen to this band go for the good stuff, there’s nothing on this album they haven’t done a billion times better elsewhere.
Customer Review: stray effort
U2 I feel tried to become a part of the times with this album, and in my opinion, it didn’t suit them. If you can imagine a middle aged man going through a midlife crisis, dancing badly in a discotheque and trying to be cool. Thats my anagram for this album.
This album is sometimes hit, but mostly miss. They are better playing in the rock genre. And when they do and are at their best, they set the bar for any other act out there.
U2 have never been conventionl but I feel ‘Pop’ was a step too far.

Customer Review: HM Customs- spoiled the moment
It finally arrived. I’ve only watched disc 1 so far - but it was worth the wait. Opening with ” If you’re going to San Francisco” the memories of that era started to come back. I now have the 3 major festivals of the 60s/70s so I can escape the stresses of today for hours at any time.

My biggest gripe is that, having paid the price of the DVDs + Vat I then get stung by HM Customs for a further ?14.

Given that I would recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys festivals and music. Janis Joplin and Otis Redding on the same lineup - awesome

Customer Review: I KNOW it is fantastic
I KNOW it is fantastic (having viewed some of it with a friend) without even seeing all the extra perfomances on here. And this really should be more widely available in the UK, especially on its 40th anniversary. But I would love to know where the previous ‘reviewers’ got their ‘All Regions’ copies from (????) as all I can find are Region 1 (NTSC) from the Amazon traders I have contacted. So, ARE there ‘all regions’ copies out there, and if so WHERE —- pray tell ???
