A decade after U2 entranced fans with the biggest and wildest spectacle of their career, the band has finally released PopMart Live from Mexico City for the first time on DVD.
Described as a "sci-fi disco supermarket," the tour featured an arsenal of stage effects including a giant, functioning mirrorball lemon and a 100-foot cocktail stick, complete with an olive. While it was originally filmed in analogue video, this new version has been transferred to am enhanced digital format, with newly remastered surround sound. PopMart will be available in a standard one-disc format and also a two-disc limited edition containing previously unreleased live audio and video material, documentaries and DVD-ROM extras. The setlist features classics like I Will Follow, Mysterious Ways, and One as well as their cover of M’s Pop Muzik and their hit from the Batman Forever soundtrack, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me.

Wasn't Bono originally some pedantic food digestion guru from the 1970's?
He was called "Slim GoodBody" or something like that?
