I got a chance tonight to see the U23D movie and it was fantastic. It most certainly is the next best thing to actually being at the live concert. The main difference I noticed was that my ears weren’t ringing afterwards.

It is the first live-action film to be shot, edited, and shown entirely in 3D. The visual experience will not disappoint, even if you are not a big fan of U2. But if you are a fan, then this is a must see!

Where The Streets Have No Name

This is by far my favorite video of all time. If you are not familiar with this, it is a portion of the half time show at the 2002 Super Bowl four months after 911. Five years later it still brings a shiver up my spine and a lump to my throat.

Worship & U2

I have always been a huge U2 fan.  I own every cd they ever produced (although I did sell “POP” to a used cd store a few days after I purchased it) and at times have traveled several states to see them in concert. I say that to admit that I have a bias in regards to U2 being the best band of all times and producing the best album of all times - The Joshua Tree. I still find the lyrics and music of U2 to be challenging, inspiring, and many times worshipful, not to mention the humanitarian issues that Bono has championed the past several years. I found this video be a good summary of all the above. Be sure to watch it through as there is a short portion from Bono’s talk at the national prayer breakfast.
