Editorial Review: Amazon.com: An outstanding entry in the Classic Albums video series, this hourlong documentary, produced in 1999, assembles the creators of U2's The Joshua Tree to comment about the musical magic that occurred a dozen years earlier in a home studio in Dublin. Merging past and present, coproducers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, mixer Steve Lillywhite, and guitarist The Edge isolate separate tracks on the album's master tapes to illustrate how some of U2's greatest songs were layered with each individual's crucial contributions. Bono listens in while Lanois deconstructs the masters, appearing genuinely shy about his vocal tracks but eloquent in describing the album as "not Irish at all" in its innovative sound, but "very Irish" in terms of the emotions that inspired it. Later, The Edge describes the "cinematic" sound of the album, intended to transport the listener to a specific physical location based on each song's mood and atmosphere. Bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen weigh in with illuminating comments, and the hour offers an abundance of video excerpts, concert footage, and memorable anecdotes. Eno sets the record straight on the torturous process of recording "Where the Streets Have No Name" (he almost "accidentally" erased the master tape in hopes of starting from scratch), and Bono admits to a heavy Led Zeppelin influence on "Bullet the Blue Sky." Archival footage shows the recording in progress (one wishes there were more of it), and what emerges from this collective reminiscence is an enlightening study of mutual chemistry and fruitful collaboration. Upon viewing this video, another listening to The Joshua Tree will be more rewarding than ever. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - InterestingA documentary about U2,manager,re-mix producer, co-producers and Elvis Costello talking about how they started writing songs about the Joshua Tree album. Rating:  - Don't waste your moneyI thought this would be videos from this CD. Instead it's like a documentary about the making of the CD. If you like to listen to people talk then I guess this is for you. If your looking for the videos for the songs then do not waste your money. Rating:  - not a concertIf you r looking for Joshua Tree concert this is NOT for you. I just got it in the mail and I already could throw it in the trash. Its just the guys talking about the making of Joshua Tree. If you want to buy the making of you in the right place. If you looking for a concertI really hope this helps people that are thinking of buying .This is not is not a concert Rating:  - Multiple covers for this DVDThis is great if you are a U2 fan or just love The Joshua Tree album. Also if you are interested in the recording process. However, this also comes in a purple cover with the four faces of U2 on the left side. Make sure you don't buy both! Rating: - So that's how they do itThis footage focuses on the production process of U2 creating music and videos, rather than the final product. If you want to see the polished stuff, pass this one up. If you like the details of how it comes to be, this gives great insight. Browse for similar items by category:
