if you can get Under a Blood Red Sky, one of the very early live ones, that is good

Best I've seen is U2 Go Home Live at Slane Castle (Ireland). Really celebratory gig.
Though I do enjoy watching the Adelaide Zoomerang show, complete with call to Cornsey and all :)

Just come out on DVD. Certainly an early peak but the mullets and white flags are a tad embarrassing these days.

I have seen a snippet of one in a stadium in South America somewhere.

Not sure of the place but am pretty sure it was the latest tour.

I own most U2 DVD's and the best by far is U2 go home at Slane Castle as zipzap said. I would probably have Vertigo in second which was their last tour.

I agree, U2 Go Home: Slane Castle is easily their best live concert DVD. Probably up their with the best I have seen from any band.

I have both this and their most recent DVD Vertigo: Live From Chicago and Slane Castle is much better.

Does anyone know if they are going to release U23D out on DVD?

Meh, he's old enough to be senile so I'll give him a U2 DVD, it might be good therapy.

In all honesty, thanks for the suggestions fellas, now if I can just find them in the Under $10 bin at JB I'll be happy! :)

Just for the 'Bad/Where The Streets Have No Name' combo.
