U2 s PopMart Live from Mexico City is released on DVD for the first time on September 18th in two formats, a Special Limited Edition 2-DVD Deluxe Packaging version and a single disc, Standard version. Described weekly car rentals greensboro nc as a sci-fi disco supermarket, the PopMart Tour opened in its spiritual home , Las Vegas on April 25, 1997. All trash and kitsch, PopMart introduced a giant mirrorball lemon, a 100 foot cocktail stick complete with olive, and the works of Lichtenstein, Warhol and Haring, weekly car rentals greensboro nc to a live rock audience: a production experience never quite seen before. Filmed at the Foro Sol Autodromo in Mexico City on December 3, 1997, PopMart Live from Mexico City was directed weekly car rentals greensboro nc by David Mallet and first released on video the following year. Both the video and audio have been digitally remastered and the DVD includes a brand new 5.1 surround mix in DTS and Dolby Digital of the concert. The single disc, Standard version will contain only the concert material and the Special Limited Edition 2-DVD version will feature on the 2nd bonus disc, nine previously unreleased live audio and video tracks, four documentaries, a PopMart tour visuals montage, and DVD-ROM extras.There are so many reasons to recommend this I can t believe it s finally on DVD!The Pop Mart tour and album were incorrectly derided by some critics and even the band apparently as a failed experiment. Wrong. That album was some of their coolest music ever, and the tour, while it started rough, by the time of this show is just monster (no pun intended). This BTW was the largest video screen every constructed; after the tour it was sold off in pieces to sports stadiums and the like.Granted, it you don t like the ironic U2 and songs like Discotheque you ll probably hate the lemon part which is totally Spinal Tap (although that was sort of the point). Too bad, because right after that song they do THE definitive version of If You Wear That Velvet Dress, which far surpasses the recorded version.The show opens with a seamless segue from Pop Music on the P.A. into Mofo. Is very nice to have a video when you know you are one of the thousands of heads (or lighters) there, and live again the intensity of a fantastic band like U2; not to mention the great scenery and videos on the TV-Wall (I love the Lichtenstein secuence on Bullet the blue sky ). Still is quite fun to hear Bono describing Mexico City in Spanish: Muchos Huevos, Grandes Corazones, Mucho Tr fico (Big balls, Great hearts, a lot of traffic), and trying to sing La Bamba at the end of the acoustic version of Desire ; also singing Arriba weekly car rentals greensboro nc M xico Now! in a new arrangement at the end of Where the streets have no name , etc. First I bought it cause I was there, now I appreciate it cause the quality of the video itself; it have great camera movements, framing and direction so you can enjoy a spectacular concert in a spectacular city of one of the best bands of the world.
