Check out The U2 Go Home - DVD To watch full length footage of Beautiful Day from the Slane Castle gig Click here for audio/video Filmed on the 1st September 2001, U2 Go Home is the first ever release to feature U2 playing to a home crowd in Ireland. Following an 80 date sell-out world tour, U2 headed home for two extraordinary outdoor shows at Slane Castle in Ireland, where the band played to a total of over 160,000 people. This homecoming concert will be released on DVD by Universal Island Records on November 17th 2003. U2 Go Home charts an emotional return for the band: in 1984 Slane Castle was the venue for the recording of their landmark fourth album, an event which was captured in The Unforgettable Fire documentary, available here re-mastered and re-graded for the first time. The Elevation shows also marked the 20th anniversary of the band’s first appearance at Slane supporting another legendary Irish rock band Thin Lizzy at the inaugural Slane Castle Festival. |
