Over a career that now spans nearly four decades, U2 has produced one hit album after another and created the template for the giant global stadium tour that other bands now use. From their roots in post-punk, the band has grown and incorporated musical styles from synth pop to gospel, while always making socially and politically aware music that hits a nerve with fans. Written by a leading music journalist, U2 Experience documents all of the band’s mammoth achievements. The first interactive book to celebrate the legendary Irish rock group, it contains 20 items of removable facsimile memorabilia —including posters, tickets, flyers, and contracts—as well as numerous rare photographs.

Review for the book "U2 Experience"

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015

Review of the book / concert items package. This is a superb production that reflects upon the long, incredibly successful career of a group of fine Irish musicians who I consider to be some of the greatest ever in the avenues of what is called "rock and roll". I do have several U2 CDs from their 1984 "The Unforgettable Fire" to the "Songs of Innocence" productions and I must say that I've never been disappointed by their efforts. Some groupings are much better than others, but all in all their body of work is truly fascinating and much less narcissistic than so many of the other so called "giants" of the rock era.

Great boxed U2 illustrated history

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

Great boxed U2 illustrated history, well-illustrated chorological potted history of the band, with some previously unpublished pictures and various facsimile knick-knacks built in for you to explore. I was looking forward to these but felt a little disappointed by what was on offer here, though I think a lot of fans will really love this feature.
Overall the look and feel of this book is fab; the content is quite accurate with only miniscule errors (e.g. the Joshua Tree from the album artwork of the same name, whilst in California, was not actually located in the Joshua Tree National Park as the book states – danger anorak alert!). Is it worth £20? Probably if you’re a hard-core U2! If you’re not or just buying it as a gift, I would wait for it to come down in price, or be available at the discounter pound shop in a few months (seriously I got several pricey U2 books from there over the years).
