"This set contains "U2: An Unforgettable Journey" and "Bono: God's Favourite Son," both of which are previously released; unfortunately, the outer packaging and the Amazon listing don't mention this. If you already have them, you may want to think twice about purchasing this."

What a disappointment

"I thought this would be a videography of the band U2. Well - it's about U2, but there is NO U2 anywhere (well - maybe some pictures) on this DVD and worse yet, no U2 music. Which you do not know until you put in the DVD and the disclaimer comes up that this is only about U2, U2 did not authorize any of this and no music of U2 would be presented on this DVD.



So if you want to watch 90 boring minutes of people who do know U2 and talk endlessly about them, then this DVD is for you. It is NOT Rattle and Hum, it is HoHum. I couldn't send it back to amazon because the return date came and went, but I actually sent the DVD's back to the studio in England who made it and told them what a worthless piece of crap they are selling to an unsuspecting U2 fan base.



Don't waste your money."

U2 collector's box set.

"Do not let the cover of this set fool you....what the cover says is absolutely a falsehood of what the contents actually are. The DVD's in this set are "UNAUTHORIZED" Biographies which does not include any of U2's music (due to copyright laws)or actual interviews conducted by the media company that put the DVD together. The interviews or any footage of U2 in these DVD's are from clips of old news shows, talkshows, etc. but are very, very brief and sometimes repetetive!

There are also interviews mostly from people who knew the band, wrote about them or were aquainted with them in some way.

If you are a big U2 fan as I am and are looking for an in depth biography about U2 from the beginnings until now, interesting interviews, U2's music and the like you will be very dissapointed with this set. I think Larry, Bono, Adam and Edge should find out who made this set and kick the crap out of them."
