- PopMart Tour Visuals Montage
Filmed at the Foro Sol Autodromo in Mexico City on 3rd December 1997, PopMart Live from Mexico City was directed by David Mallet and first released on video the following year; this is the first time it has been released on DVD.
Described as a sci-fi disco supermarket, the PopMart Tour opened in its 'spiritual home', Las Vegas on 25th April 1997. All trash and kitsch, PopMart introduced a giant mirrorball lemon, a 100ft cocktail stick - complete with olive, and the works of Lichenstein, Warhol and Haring, to a live rock audience: a production experience never quite seen before.
Originally filmed on analogue video, the film has been transferred to a digital format with re-graded and cleaned pictures. Great care has been taken to maintain the original look by simply enhancing it, with an added degree of sharpness and contrast unavailable when originally filmed. The audio has also been re-mastered and mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound.

I've always thought the 'Pop' era of U2 had unfairly been slated. This concert proves U2 were at the peak of thier powers, musically and most certainly visually. I had it originally on VHS and wondered whether it would ever make DVD and I'm so glad it has. Critics said it was overblown, U2 taking it too far, which is possibly why U2 went back to basics for their more commercially successful Eleavation tour. But as a spectacle Popmart is far superior in my opinon, my only regret is that I didn't make it to the Leeds gig in 97. A long overdue release!

Absolutely awesome to know it's finally coming out on dvd after a long anticipated wait. Have like the other review only ever had this on video, so cant wait for bonus footage of euro tour that i've only ever seen on channel 4 when the tour started in 97, and also other documentaries that i've lost long ago on video. All in all, i went to the Wembley Stadium gig back in 97, and was totally blown away musically, visually and spinning lemoney. As for the stage set, the atmosphere, the music, everything, all in all, a must see!!
