5.0 out of 5 stars Wired!, Aug 3 2003

By	Chris Pinto (Long Beach Township, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: U2:Unforgettable Fire Collection (VHS Tape)

This is a great video. I remember when Bad was shown back when MTV played real music.It brought back memories. Though now I am a HUGE U2 fan, then I was just a kid who wondered why they were so big.Now I see why.This is a interesting look back at U2 at their climb to the top. It was cool to see them making a record how it worked back then before real technology took over. Best part is seeing A Sort of Homecoming, and BAD live. They still have this same passion live now as then. I would suggest this vid to newcomers as well. Wish it was longer, but its worth evey penny. Cant wait for the new CD!I must say in this world of sellouts U2 havent done that yet with all their money and success they still are thankful to the fans and pour thier hearts in the music. Get it, now!: )

5.0 out of 5 stars A great look at a band in its adolescence, Jun 14 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: U2:Unforgettable Fire Collection (VHS Tape)

Any U2 fan would love this, any music fan could appreciate, anyone who knows who Bono is would get a kick out of this. "Unforgettable Fire" is a look at the mid 80s version of one of the greatest and most successful bands of all time. All of our favorite 80s styles litter this piece as well as a lot of the band's best early work.
Unforgettable Fire starts with a collection of music videos. One of which is a timeless video for one of the band's most famous songs "Pride (In the name of love)." Another is a video for "Unforgettable Fire" that has about as much of an 80s flair as imaginable. The other videos are footage of a mid 80s U2 concert tour with overdubbed live versions of "Bad" and "A SOrt of Homecoming." The footage is moving and captures the amzing on-stage presense of the give-it-our-all boys from Ireland.
The second half of the video is a documentary of the band putting together the album "Unforgettable Fire," some of the scens are of their early stages of recording in an old castle. This shows the early versions of such songs as "Pride," "Unforgettable Fire," and others. The video then shows these songs evolve in the studio into final cuts. The footage also shows Bono and the boys dealing with their producers, a good look behind the scenes for those who have never witnessed that process.
If you have a chance to check out this video, even if you aren't a fan, do so.

5.0 out of 5 stars UNFORGETABLE, Dec 20 2000

By	Tatyana AMIN (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: U2:Unforgettable Fire Collection (VHS Tape)

One of the best "Rockumentary" EVER!! The most precious bit in this video is a tie between Larry singing "we are going on a... summer holiday ..." and Bad, performed Live with a little of "Symphathy for the devil" thrown in. Absolutely need to get this, mine's so worn from being played over and over and over.
