5.0 out of 5 stars You gotta see this just for the "I will Follow" video!!!, November 20, 2000

This review is from: U2 - The Best of - 1980-1990 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was not a big fan of U2 when I lived with my parents and they had cable, so I never really saw their videos much. Now, as a "grown up" (snicker) I do not have cable, but I am a rabid U2 fan.

This compilation was the perfect thing...I own all their CDs and now I can see a lot of their best early videos. As much of a fan as I am, I can still be simply awestruck as I hear them sing and watch Bono sing his heart out to songs like Pride and Bad. It is a joy to see how they developed from wild young boys to...well, wild grown men.

This video is also good for some laughs. I mean, some of the early stuff display Bono with some rather interesting hairstyles. But nothing tops watching him do his "aerobic" style dancing in I Will Follow.

One of the greatest treats is to see the previously unreleased "One Tree Hill" concert shot. An absolutely breathtaking song that brings out the passion, the love and the power that makes U2 the best band in the world.

This review is from: U2 - The Best of - 1980-1990 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the best U2 videos I've had. It's just to bad they didn't include the song [ONE] Greatsong. This video is worth the money. VIDEO TITLES ARE PRIDE IN THE NAME OF LOVE, NEW YEARS DAY, WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR, SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY, BAD, WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME, I WILL FOLLOW, THE UNFORGETABLE FIRE, SWEETEST THING, DESIRE, WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN, ANGEL OF HARLEM, ALL I WANT IS YOU, ONE TREE HILL.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best of U2: Great Video for a Great Band, April 11, 2001

This review is from: U2 - The Best of - 1980-1990 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a big U2 fan, I was very pleased with this video. If you like "Old School" U2, then you must buy this video. Some of their classics, Like "Pride" and "Where the Streets Have No Name" are great music videos that you can play time and time again. The best part was watching the emotion of "Bad" and "One Tree Hill" flow through Bono. I got hit with a blast from the past with the 1980 "I will Follow". It is hard to believe that the group of kids you see would go on to be one of the best bands ever. This is a great video that U2 fans should own.
