    Well, i´m going to buy it anyway (is the concert that make me fan of the band after all)...

    take care, and greetings from Guadalajara , Mexico


    Yeah it's a pity they didn't include Miami, that was such an awesome song live on Popmart.

    You're right. Just saw a version on YouTube of that song. It's 100000000 times better live. Pity that they don't put that one on the dvd.

    It needed to be said, and you've said.
    MacPhisto and his anti-capitalism speeches are too far from real thought of U2
  5. just to represent another population of U2 fans, i wanted to toss out there that i absolutely love POP and PopMart, everything about it, the idea of it, the unfinished nature of the album, the image of the band and its members, the versions of the songs (oooohhhhh streets - they set it on fire!).

    this whole time-capsuled era of U2, which will never return again, is quite near-and-dear to my (pop)heart, and i can't wait for the DVD so i can watch it, enjoy it, and of course rip it to an audio album!

    say what you will about capitalism... i am counting down the days to pay for my PopMart DVD (and my Red Rocks DVD).

    and some day blu-ray will make DVDs obsolete so i'll prolly buy em all over again
  6. Popmart tour isn't my favorite tour..but I loved the setlist and I'll buy the dvd as soon as I can...I just need some money

    By the way...anyone knows if the dvd will be released here in Brazil in the same day of other countries??

    thanks to all see you

    1) That's what I said, I think they are capitalist, money-hunters, etc. but I finally buy all they release. And I don't like it, makes me feel a slave

    2) About the Red Rocks theme I only have to say:
  8. Don't like POP-Mart either...but the setlist looks good, maybe I'll buy it..

    Oh, thank you so much, really!
    I didn't mind to write one the greatest lines of the site. I just wanted to express my own feelings, my ideas.
    I'm glad that you liked one of them!
    Thanks!

    One of the reasons that they were so beloved in the earlier days, even Popmart/ZooTV was because they ddin't care about the money, or the critics, they were there for the crowd.

    Now its feels more...systematic.

    Who needs that much money anyway?

    Well, Bono has to get his hair cut every month, that's quite expensive...

    I think that we have to chose for the lower evil. I mean: in a world where people generally don't think about the real problems of society but only "close the door" waiting that someone other go and solve those problems, the lower evil is represented by people which make at least something and contrubute to solve even only some parts of those problems.
    I mean that I don't care about the fact that Bono & Co. earn a lot of money, 'cause they spend a part of their money in important humanitarian activities, instead of the major part of the musicians that cares only about their life.
    So I'm happy two times when I buy U2 stuff:
    1. Because I love U2
    2. Because through them I also contribute to important humanitarian activities

    Sorry for writing a lot.
