U2'S RECORD BREAKING ROSE BOWL CONCERT
Filmed on 25th October 2009
Filmed on 25th October 2009
U2360° At The Rose Bowl was the penultimate gig of last year's U2360° tour in support of their Grammy-nominated album No Line on The Horizon. The Rose Bowl performance was the band's biggest show of 2009 and U2's biggest ever US show, with a live audience in excess of 97,000. The show was also streamed across seven continents via YouTube. The first ever live streaming of a full-length stadium concert, U2360° at the Rose Bowl had over 10 million views on the channel in one week.
Shot entirely in HD, the concert was filmed with 27 cameras and directed by Tom Krueger who had previously worked on U23D, the first live action 3D concert movie taken from U2's Vertigo Tour. Available in standard and two disc deluxe DVD formats, U2360° At The Rose Bowl will also be U2's first concert available in Blu-ray. The deluxe formats and the Blu-ray will feature a new documentary called Squaring the Circle: Creating U2360°, with new interviews from U2, Paul McGuinness and the team behind the touring production.

I was at that concert, and it was a typical U2 extravaganza. Exceptionally well done, and the energy, look and feel of the Rose Bowl audience and environment and U2's interaction with it was a part of its success. Afterwards, I really really enjoyed the Youtube broadcast of it that was available online for a couple of weeks before they yanked it.
Regarding the DVD, I am disappointed because I felt the editing didn't do justice to the entire concert environment in a way that was accessible. No shot was on the screen for much longer than 7 seconds, and most between 3 and 5 seconds. I have amazingly quick vision (I make my living drawing people and things really fast) yet I felt I never had a chance to focus on any one scene before another was quickly flashed, faded into, etc. There were few views that gave a sense of the hugeness of the concert. It was like blinking my eyes and another view. I'm pretty good at connecting the dots, and even though I was at that concert, the DVD never gave much of a feeling of the whole.
While the camera work and sound, etc., were very well done, I felt there was too much being thrown at the viewer, too fast. Frankly, I thought the Youtube live broadcast provided a better feel of the concert and visual experience of it, which was after all, a "world event".

Whether you find them legendary or musically limited, U2 for nearly 20 years has been the most trendsetting touring group from inspiring the widespread use of the intimate "b-stage" to the use of cutting-edge technology to bring theatrical presentations of music to another level. The 360° tour is U2's latest outing in support of their 2009 album No Line On The Horizon. For their previously YouTube-broadcasted live performance in Pasadena, California, the band employed director Tom Krueger after three DVD releases (Elevation Tour 2001: U2 Live from Boston, U2 Go Home - Live From Slane Castle (Limited Edition Packaging) and Vertigo 05 Live from Chicago) with Hamish Hamilton. In comparison to Hamilton's work with the band, Krueger takes on a much larger project and approaches it accordingly. Krueger gives the cinematography a purposeful touch of dark contrast of colors inside of a monstrous stage making it seem like a night out on a space station. Eschewing any of the MTV-styled editing or pointless views of fans doing whatever pops into their temporarily unsound minds, Krueger focuses only the band and the environment they've created for themselves.
Musically, the band gives consistent performances of their classics in spite of what may seem like a sloppy set list of songs from drastically different eras or styles played behind each other (the danceable "Mysterious Ways" next to spiritual "Beautiful Day," the rocking "Elevation" next to the ballad "In a Little While," or glowing "City of Blinding Lights" next to the thunderous "Vertigo"). But whether they're tackling the techno-punk of "Get on Your Boots" or the gospel of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," U2 pull off an incredibly spirited performance in which Bono's voice resonates better than some of U2's previous DVDs and his three compadres are more interactive than ever before. And even for a band that has played their material endlessly, they still are a band that can perform live versions as good as if not better than their studio versions. Songs such as "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" sound better here than any other previous live DVDs. Even the snippets of classic songs added to their own songs such as "Stand by Me" with "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" are amazingly appropriate, graceful and cozy in their new environments. Newer songs such as "Magnificent," "No Line on the Horizon" and "Unknown Caller" lend credence to the oxymoron of a "new classic" while the return of songs like "The Unforgettable Fire" and "Ultra Violet (Light My Way)" are sorely appreciated.
The manner in which the band releases this DVD is also rather inventive and customer-friendly as they have editions to appeal to the casual listener (U2 - 360° AT THE ROSE BOWL), a more interested fan (2 discs) or a die-hard (U2 - 360° AT THE ROSE BOWL [Super Deluxe Edition]). The bonus material found the special editions are worth every cent as you see a documentary of how this innovative tour is created; see a share of clips from the tour, a few music videos, alternate openings of the live show and a bonus live track ("Breathe"). In the end, this set doesn't just document U2's recent tour but demonstrates why they will go down in history as one of the greatest touring groups of all time.
I guess the most gratifying aspect of this entire DVD is that it made reevaluate No Line on the Horizon, which I dismissed as half-good. After this, I'm listening to "Moment of Surrender," "Magnificent" and "Breathe" in a whole different way.

I attended the U2 360 Tour concert at Fed Ex field last September. Trying to describe the experience to someone who wasn't there is almost impossible. The HUGE "Claw" stage setup was an amazing sight - like something out of a Godzilla movie! But if you couldn't be there, this DVD is the next best thing. Although the Rose Bowl set list is slightly different than the one I saw, watching this DVD still brought back some great memories. 95 percent of this concert is the same as what I saw in DC. It was like going back to the concert again, but this time from different ever changing seat locations. The sound quality is excellent and the presentation of the concert is top notch! So for those that missed the 360 tour, heres your chance to finally see it. And for those of you that did go, this is the ultimate 360 concert souvenir. Enjoy!

I saw U2 in 1992. Looking back, that was clearly their creative peak. The tours kept getting more elaborate, the songs kept getting weaker. Read more

Yes.
I was here so I had to order it. But I was kind of surprised at the filming of it. It's not my favorite. It's probably my least favorite live U2 dvd.

Great U2 Live Experience
After seeing U2 live on tour, and renting this DVD from the library, we decided that we wanted to own a copy of it too. Needless to say, we've really enjoyed watching it!
