Product description

U2's PopMart Live from Mexico City is released on DVD for the first time on September 18th in two formats, a Special Limited Edition 2-DVD Deluxe Packaging version and a single disc, Standard version. Described as a sci-fi disco supermarket, the PopMart Tour opened in its "spiritual home", Las Vegas on April 25, 1997. All trash and kitsch, PopMart introduced a giant mirrorball lemon, a 100 foot cocktail stick - complete with olive, and the works of Lichtenstein, Warhol and Haring, to a live rock audience: a production experience never quite seen before. Filmed at the Foro Sol Autodromo in Mexico City on December 3, 1997, PopMart Live from Mexico City was directed by David Mallet and first released on video the following year. Both the video and audio have been digitally remastered and the DVD includes a brand new 5.1 surround mix in DTS and Dolby Digital of the concert.

« My First concert November 1997 »

I love this concert, or better to say "Live Show". It was my first live concert in my life and each time I see new artist live is my way compare it. Was Miami November 17, 1997

I never was that big a fan of Pop or POPMart, but even down to Bono says that PopMart was their finest hour, and there HAS to be a reason for this to be said. I just never got into the body suit worn by Bono, I never got into the performance of the songs from Pop, considering it's not my favorite U2 cd out there...

...BUT, U2 do make up for it with the performances of some of the older songs. "I Will Follow," "Pride," "Sunday Bloody Sunday," even though it was acoustic, "Bullet The Blue Sky," and "Where The Streets Have No Name." Also "One" and "With or Without You" in the encores, all of those stand out and help me raise the star rating to three.

I've just never been a fan of Pop or PopMart as a whole, unfortunately.

« Awesome »

I was able to see U2 for the first time at PopMart in Salt Lake, Utah and it was AWESOME!!!!!! You are really an anal person if you can't get past the giant lemon, and U2 will never be able to please people like you. The lemon, it was the coolest!!! I got chills when they came out of the lemon at intermission. Obviously you lemon haters have never seen a lame Rolling Stones show with a giant snake-like contraption for their prop. I haven't heard anyone crying that they destroyed their careers because of that. So why the uproar over this album and tour, I don't get it. If you are a true U2 fan this album was great in its own right. The lighting the stage the lemon, etc. did not detract from the songs at all in concert. Bullet the blue sky was one of the best songs they did that night and it comes from 1987. This concert is great and is worth having in your dvd library, if you are a true U2 fan.

« Really a Mega Show »
