 DVD  "Go Home: Live From Slane Castle"  Out on 12 November 2008

The early sound of U2 reaches its completion more or less on this album. Bono's steamingly passionate vocals with Edge's straight and sharp phrased guitar works are at their peaks. These are the true characteristics of their music, which still reveal themselves on the later albums whose sounds seem to be more under control.
