U2 Brings PopMart To DVD In June
U2 will on June 26 offer up the first DVD release of the 1998 home video “PopMart Live From Mexico City,” which was taped at the city’s Foro Sol Autodromo on Dec. 3, 1997.
The Island Records/Interscope/UMe project was originally filmed on analog video but has been transferred to digital and optically enhanced for the new version. The audio has also been remastered and mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound.
In addition to a single-DVD set, “PopMart” will be available in a special limited edition with a second disc featuring unreleased material. Among them are four live audio tracks recorded in Rotterdam, Holland, and three others taped in Edmonton, Alberta, plus alternate videos for “Staring at the Sun” and “Last Night on Earth,” four tour documentaries and a stage visuals montage.
U2 is at work writing material for its next studio album, the follow-up to 2004’s “How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.” No release date has been set for the effort.
