Joshua Tree Reissue

#

Started by Dennis

U2’s “The Joshua Tree” is coming out as a 3 disc set with b-sides and best of all a full concert DVD from the Joshua Tree tour.
One of my favourite albums over the years, I am looking forward to revisiting this LP for the first time in quite a while.

(OK I know there will be plenty of WoMbles who despise U2, but don’t use this thread as a place to slag them off.)

Anyone else interested in this?

Yes.

As much as I dislike Bono , still think it’s a great album with some gems on it.
Will probably put it on my X-Mas or birthday list.

Yeah, I can see why people get annoyed with Bono (the last DVD they did has WAY too much politcal sermonising on) and I can also see why people find some of the JT-era songs overblown, bombastic, but then you get a brooding masterpiece like Exit and you realise maybe these U2 fellas are onto something after all…

Ah,Yeah a nice idea for my X-mas :) .I agree with Dennis about Exit as masterpiece,it kicks ass on the “Rattle and Hum” movie and I’ll also add “Bullet the Blue Sky” ,covered years ago by Sepultura,who IMHO,didn’t play it as heavy and good as the original version or even the way U2 used to play during the Zooropa tour ( a roof for such a heavy metal band :D).

I’ve Just seen that the full concert DVD from the Joshua Tree Tour would be the one which took place at The Hippodrome of Paris (to be confirmed for sure) in July 1987.I got a bootleg of it,and it’s the one with the “tear gas’incident…

I will definately get it. Even thought Rattle & Hum was “the” album to me. I think that these king of reissues are good. I hate the ones with just 2 or 3 extra tracks. They are rip-off’s, but these kind are much greater value. Here’s the stuff about it from billboard.com

U2’s ‘Joshua Tree’ Blooms Again
U2

October 16, 2007, 10:30 AM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
To celebrate the 20th birthday of its landmark album “The Joshua Tree,” U2 is reissuing the set in four different incarnations on Nov. 20 via UMe. The album will be available as a remastered single CD, a 2-CD set, a 2-CD/1-DVD collectible box and a double-vinyl package.

The single-disc will be housed in a jewel case, but the 2-CD set comes in a hard back case. The 2-CD/1-DVD version has a base and lid to accommodate the discs as well as five portfolio prints. Band members have contributed new liner notes for the package.

The second CD in the 2-disc package sports rare material from the period, including a single edit of “Where the Streets Have No Name” and B-sides such as “Spanish Eyes” and “Sweetest Thing.” The DVD comprises a July 4, 1987, show at the Paris Hippodrome, as well as the documentary “Outside It’s America,” a long-whispered-about but never released video for “Red Hill Mining Town” and an alternate version of the “With or Without You” clip.

Produced by Brian Eno, “The Joshua Tree” shot U2’s commercial fortunes into the stratosphere. The album’s first three tracks were huge singles, with both “With or Without You” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Here is the bonus disc track list:

“Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)”
“Walk to the Water”
“Spanish Eyes”
“Silver and Gold”
“Sweetest Thing”
“Deep on the Heart”
“Race Against Time”
“Where the Streets Have No Name” (single edit)
“Silver and Gold (Sun City)”
“Beautiful Ghost”
“Introduction to Songs of Experience”
“Wave of Sorrow (Birdland)”
“Desert of Our Love”
“Rise Up”
“Drunk Chicken”
“America”
