On September 1, 2001, Irish rock band U2 made a triumphant return to their roots with two outdoor shows at Slane Castle, Ireland. U2 chose the castle venue because it marked two watershed moments for the band: their recording session for the landmark album THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE in 1984, and their first Slane appearance opening up for fellow Irish rock band Thin Lizzy in 1981. U2 GO HOME captures the emotional intensity of the homecoming with 19 live tracks culled from the concerts.

I wasn't a big u2 fan...I didn't know much about them..but I heard some of their songs and I decided to pick up this DVD after seeing it in the store...Since then I am a complete fanatic...this concert is amazing...If u like u2 or not...watch this...they kick it off nicely with elevation and really rock the crowd...U get goosebumps listening to Sunday bloody Sunday because u can tell the passion the band members have for it...and they end it all with walk on which was also glorious...I wish every day I was at this concert...also check out vertigo in Chicago...another great DVD..Apparently I need to write more...Kite is a very emotional track...people who have seen this...there is a close up on the edge during the song...if u look at his face u can see he is feeling bonos pain due to the loss of his father...u2 rocks....

The thing that makes the Slane Castle DVD exceptional is the sound quality. It's outstanding for a live show and the best I've heard on a concert DVD. For financial reasons I had to decide between the Slane Castle and the Live in Boston DVDs. I felt that the Slane DVD would be the better bet because I figured U2 would give their all doing a concert in their native country at a venue that had special meaning to them. Later on I was able to see the Live in Boston DVD and although I felt that it was very good in its own right and probably had better features, I felt overall the Slane DVD was better. The Slane DVD is superior because they just did a better job on the songs. There are a few songs on the Slane DVD that I actually like more than the original studio versions. They are: 'Out of Control'; 'Kite'; 'All I Want Is You'; and 'Bullet The Blue Sky'. Truly outstanding. I hate to use the word "beautiful" but the Edge's guitar-playing in 'With Or Without You' is exactly that. He's truly at his melodic best in that number. U2: Go Home is a great concert DVD and a must for anyone who digs U2.

This concert from Slane Castle in Ireland filmed in 2001 is absolutely amazing. U2 really are one of the greatest bands on the planet.The scale of the gig is unbelievable, but the performance from the band is astounding. Just seeing them rip into 'Elevation' turns the stomach.Bono is a fantastic front-man, with songs 'Beautiful Day' and 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' sung with great passion from the Irish singer. On 'Kite' he is almost drawn to tears singing about his recently deceased father. A very moving moment indeed.'All I Want Is You' is fantastically submerged into 'Where The Streets Have No Name', and 'One' is as beautifully melodic as ever.Clearly one of the best bands around, check out the 'U2 Go Home' DvD out now also.Standout tracks: 'New Years Day', 'Angel Of Harlem', 'Where The Streets Have No Name' and 'One'.9.5 out of 10

"U2: Live in Slane" has to be one of the most amazing concerts ever broadcasted on Network Television. The crowd in this concert was great, and U2 got them jumping and dancing with some of their classics such as "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Where The Streets Have No Name." They also performed some of their early songs, like "Out of Control." Watching this concert, was like i was reliving the ones i went to. I'm part Irish, so maybe that's why i act as crazy as they do in concerts. Overall, this concert was amazing!!!
