U2 Live in 2005

And it's got loads of extras

U2 are to release a live DVD featuring footage shot on their 2005 ‘Vertigo’ world tour.

‘Vertigo 2005/U2 Live From Chicago’ was filmed on May 9 and 10 at the city’s United Center venue.

The DVD spans two discs: the full live show, directed by Hamish Hamilton - director of both U2's previous live DVDs - plus an additional disc of bonus material including 'Beyond The Tour', an intimate behind-the-scenes documentary, and 'surveillance cuts’ of the Chicago show. Filmed using four remotely controlled black and white infra-red surveillance cameras, the footage offers a totally different perspective on the show.

The 'Vertigo' tour continues in the US until December 19. By that date the band will have played over 100 shows to a total of over three million people in the US and Europe.
