    Saw it from atU2's Twitter account and they said it looks like a recreation of the One video. Can't wait to see the documentary!

    I believe the documentary is about the making of Achtung Baby and it premieres the first day of the Toronto Film Festival, September 8th.

    Achtung Baby is probably my favorite album of all times. One of the best nights of my life was the Zoo TV tour in Vegas, sixth row. I was 13 or 14 and my mind blowed up. Pearl Jam is my favorite band of course but the experience I had that night was otherworldly. I effing love that album (except for wild horses).

    Zoo TV must've been amazing! I wish there was good video footage of the arena tour. I'd love to see what it was like.

    I remember this album fondly from back in the day but really it is the thing that killed U2.
    They found their new sound with The Edge's silly little guitar gadget that he started using on that album and they just haven't let it go since. Wonderful album but it took them in a new direction that they just can't seem to stop running down and they've made about half a dozen decent songs in the last 20 years.

    One of the best album titles ever, though.
    we're all going to the same place...

    funny thing is I thought that this was supposed to be a remaster, but all I see is that it is the original AB and Zooropa.

    Seems like they ditched the Zooropa plan went with a full-scale reissue and remaster of Achtung.

    So it does look like Zooropa is also included in this.

    yes, but I do not see anything about either albums being remastered. This is what it says:

    "6 CDs including the original Achtung Baby album, the follow-up album, Zooropa, B-sides and re-workings of previously unheard material recorded during the Achtung Baby sessions."

    Only way I am getting this is as a present or wait a year or two when it will be in the discount bin.
    I have most of the dvd's and music that they listed. All I would be interested in seeing are the book and the new movie.

    I'm sure it's remastered but they probably left that out. I will be disappointed if they weren't remastered.

    But I agree with you, the only way I'll get this is as a gift. I just wish there was a link for the US Amazon also.

    yeah, I am a little peaved. The blue shirt with U2 360 across the front in white can now be had for $25 and it includes the tour program. I bought it in NJ for $40, saw it in Pittsburgh for $30. But I just ordered the $65 hoody and program bundle for $45, glad I held off on that one.

    Nice. I might do a little shopping on that site for a couple shirts. Have you ever ordered shirts from the site before?
