The video of
Phil Joanou's ambitious documentary/concert film
Rattle & Hum features Dolby Digital Surround Sound, stereo audio tracks, and a theatrical trailer.
Joanou follows the group on their landmark
Joshua Tree tour as they soak in the culture and sounds of Harlem, San Francisco, and Graceland, and collaborate with
B.B. King on
"When Love Comes to Town." Though some of the documentary footage is uneven,
U2's performances are mostly gripping, particularly
"Silver and Gold," "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Pride (In the Name of Love)," and
"With or Without You." Though some additional features would have been welcome for the DVD format,
Rattle & Hum remains one of the most distinctive chapters in
U2's career, as well as one of the most distinctive rockumentaries. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
