Live Bands and Gigs

U23D’ premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, before going on general release in the US and Canada. It opened in Ireland and the UK in February 22.  

The International Herald Tribune find it eyepopping, giving the audience the experience of being present, as the camera swings around Bono’s face, then rises over and down the 60,000 concert goers.  

The video was shot during U2’s visit to South America and was directed by Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington. It doesn’t compare with a traditional video as you get the feeling of being on stage with the band one moment, and next you are at the back of the stadium, like you’re flying around it.
