This set contains "U2: An Unforgettable Journey" and "Bono: God's Favourite Son," both of which are previously released; unfortunately, the outer packaging and the Amazon listing don't mention this. If you already have them, you may want to think twice about purchasing this.

I was truly looking forward to receiving this DVD from reading the description. The photo of the DVD does show all of the print on the item but I didn't bother to enlarge the image and read it. BEWARE: This is an unauthorised documentary and DOES NOT contain any original U2 music. Really a disappointment. Some of the footage was new and interesting but most things I had already seen or read in U2 books.

I thought this would be a videography of the band U2. Well - it's about U2, but there is NO U2 anywhere (well - maybe some pictures) on this DVD and worse yet, no U2 music. Which you do not know until you put in the DVD and the disclaimer comes up that this is only about U2, U2 did not authorize any of this and no music of U2 would be presented on this DVD.

So if you want to watch 90 boring minutes of people who do know U2 and talk endlessly about them, then this DVD is for you. It is NOT Rattle and Hum, it is HoHum. I couldn't send it back to amazon because the return date came and went, but I actually sent the DVD's back to the studio in England who made it and told them what a worthless piece of crap they are selling to an unsuspecting U2 fan base.

Don't waste your money.

Do not let the cover of this set fool you....what the cover says is absolutely a falsehood of what the contents actually are. The DVD's in this set are "UNAUTHORIZED" Biographies which does not include any of U2's music (due to copyright laws)or actual interviews conducted by the media company that put the DVD together. The interviews or any footage of U2 in these DVD's are from clips of old news shows, talkshows, etc. but are very, very brief and sometimes repetetive!

There are also interviews mostly from people who knew the band, wrote about them or were aquainted with them in some way.

If you are a big U2 fan as I am and are looking for an in depth biography about U2 from the beginnings until now, interesting interviews, U2's music and the like you will be very dissapointed with this set. I think Larry, Bono, Adam and Edge should find out who made this set and kick the crap out of them.

Please do not waste your money on this product like I did. There is a disclaimer but unless you enlarge the picture, you cannot see it. The DVD does not show any music, concerts, or U2 statements whatsoever.

Do not buy

this product contains no music. It is interviews with the band. Amazon lists tracks so I thought it contained music, but the fine print on the box says no music. I returned the set.

it looks great on the images, but wait, it is just that.

i thought these discs were better, don't waste your money with this documentary. look for other options, but this one, isn't

i WOULDNT HAVE MISSED THIS ONE FOR THE WORLD. AT FIRST NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. AFTER SEEING THE COLLECTION A FEW TIMES I WAS DEFINETLY MORE IMPRESSED .... A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE THAT IS A LONG TIME U2 LISTENER AND DEVOTED "FAN" OF U2 .. iT WILL UPLIFET THE HEART, SOUL AND MIND AS WELL AS TOUCH BASE WITH U2S BIO . i HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THIS COLLECTION AS A KEEPER TO YOUR COLLECTION OF U2 CDS, ETC. THE GUYS ARE ALL VERY REAL, DOWN TO EARTH AND NOTHING ARTIFICIAL ABOUT THE BAND AND THE YEARS THEY HAVE STUCK IT OUT TOGHETHER AS ONE ....ALMOST COMPRABLE TO A MARRIAGE WITHOUT LIMITS. AND VERY STRONG BONDS. THANK YOU, BONE, THE EDGE, LARRY, AND ADAM THIS IS MAGNIFICENT. LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE MUSIC. BEST TO ALL OF YOU ON YOUR TOUR AND CONTINUED SUCCESS...............

If you don't find what you're looking for,you certainly find it here!

If you need something for your collection ...Go to Amazon.com!
