I don't know where critics of this video get the idea that the band seems tired, that's not the concert video that I saw. It's a spectacle like most of their tours are and Bono spoke eloquently about what Chicago means to U2 and, of course, world poverty and human inequalities. You don't get to see a U2 concert without a small lecture on global politics. But he fit the comments into the rhythms of the songs much in the way Patti Smith does. The band was everything its fans could hope for and the audience at the venue was electric. Could the editing and camera angles have been better? Maybe. But that's a small quibble at best and I never had that feeling in watching the video. Even though U2 isn't my favorite band to listen to on CD, I do admire Bono's activism and I really enjoy watching them perform in concert. This is a fine video and really indicative of their entire career.
