The list of concerts I have been to is long, but surprisingly does not include U2. Sadly, I have never been able to catch the “Irish Band from Dublin City, Ireland” live and in person. I hope to one day rectify that, but in the mean time – good news. U2 is releasing U23D, an IMAX production capturing a show at the Luxor in Las Vegas from the band’s most recent tour. (I think a friend of mine went to this show, so I am interested to get feedback on the movie versus the actual concert.) Thus far, the movie version of the concert is getting excellent reviews. U2 has such an amazing catalog of songs that one would count on the music being solid, but apparently the visual experience is, to paraphrase from Bono, “even better than the real thing,” or at least pretty close. The film is set to be released on January 23rd. A trip to this film may prove to be a good Valentines Day present for the Mrs. – also a long time fan of the band.
