5.0 out of 5 stars U2 pushes forward in this video collection., March 7, 1999

This review is from: U2 - Achtung, Baby [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Achtung Baby!the video, mixes great video, interview clips, and and outtakes from U2's album of the same name.The first version on this tape of Even Better Than The Real Thing, with a mesmerizing 360º panning camera that zooms through Bono's legs, is quite possibly one of the greatest music videos of all time. The synthesis of motion and music achieves an ultimate gestalt other music videos can only dream of. This video, alone, is worth the price of the tape, but there's so much more to enjoy. Like Mysterious Ways, set in a sun-washed Morocco. Bright primary colors vibrate as Bono's warped reflection dances against yellow Moroccan wall.Or a version of One filmed in Berlin, complete with that decadent German drag look.U2 continues to be a great band through the 90's,pushing new ground, as in Achtung Baby! (And, yes, even THEY loathe that title.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank goodness this came out!, April 6, 2001

This review is from: U2 - Achtung, Baby [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The 'Achtung Baby' era of U2's musical dominance was an unbelievable period for the boys. Everything they did, from promotional material to stage details was soaked with irony, depth and a dark surrealism, and this tape desplays them all perfectly. The tape was a promo for the CD, and contains every video (including all 3 versions of 'One'), and shows some concert footage as well. But there is some great behind the scenes footage, such as footage of Berlin, Bono acting up in several interviews, and a look at Edge's little-known knowledge of owl's. Great for the 'Achtung Baby' videos alone, the other footage just pushes this tape into excellence.

5.0 out of 5 stars U2 at their best, July 18, 2001

This review is from: U2 - Achtung, Baby [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Critics and fans are split between which is U2's best album, 'The Joshua Tree' or 'Achtung Baby?' For me at least, 'Achtung Baby' is U2's finest work -- creatively, artistically and musically. As such, this video captures U2 in full swing during the ZOO TV era. Along with the music videos, the "Interference from ZOO TV" really makes this video worth having. No U2 should be without it.
