Product Description:
Paramount U2 Rattle and Hum (Blu-ray)
A concert movie on an unprecedented scale. Rattle and Hum captures U2-on and off the stage-during their triumphant Joshua Tree tour. From the giant technicolor stadium celebrations to the black-and-white intensity of the indoor shows, this is U2 at their best. Follow the group across America, exploring new influences,playing with the legendary B.B. King, on a journey which takes them from Dublin to Graceland, from San Francisco to the streets of Harlem, from The Joshua Tree to Rattle and Hum.

Rattle and Hum is not a film for anyone looking for an introduction to Irish band U2's career in the 1980s, but it is a vibrant portrait of an established group making its musical pilgrimage through the America it has always imagined through blues, gospel, and early rock 'n' roll. Filmmaker Phil Joanou(Heaven's Prisoners), a veteran music-video director and maker of the distractingly kineticThree O'Clock High, finds a suitable outlet for his high energy in this juggernaut of a journey, which finds U2 collaborating with a black gospel choir and B.B. King, recording inside the legendary Sun Records studio, dropping by Graceland, and in a moment of fearlessness, performing the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" to exorcise Charles Manson's sick claim on the song.--Tom Keogh

Rating: - Improved audio
I've found that it's the concerts on video that I most often watch nowadays. Always enjoyed this disk on DVD and naturally wanted to upgrade to Blu-Ray. If you have a killer sound system that supports DTS audio you're going to love the improvment. Can't say the video is much improved since this was shot way back in 1988. I'm watching on a 60" Pioneer Plasma and don't see all that much difference. Go for the sound if you have the equipment for it.

Rating: - Excellent "U2" From Dublin to Harlem to Memphis & San Francisco!!!! Great DVD!!!
This one has been reviewed extensively, so I'll just mention a few things. This dvd is packed with 26 songs. You get a guest performance with the legendary B.B.King. You get to see the U2 members visiting Graceland & hanging out in Memphis. The last time I was in Memphis, at the Sun Records Studio, they had a gold record of this album hanging on the wall. It was presented to them by U2, in appreciation for the hospitality they received from the Sun Studio and Memphis. You get some great scenes from ... Read More
Rating: - The old movie in a new technology
This movie is more than knowledge by the fans. The quality is excellent.
But...
For a BD I was expecting a better image quality than a DVD. It was made with 1080p but the video looks like the DVD I have, just a little bit better. Looks like a copy of DVD in a Blue Ray format.
But Im not a technician, maybe there is a reason for that.
Anyway, I was expecting a image quality like others recent movies in BD.

Fast delivery, product arrived in good shape.
Good quality sound, black and white images. Would have liked to have the other version of Still haven't found what I'm looking for, nice Choir version, but I prefer their own version. This has 3/5, because to my musical taste 5/5 would be the "Live at Sloan Castle" U2 concert
