Rattle and Hum [HD] HD-DVD Summary
This excellent documentary follows the Irish group
U2
on their concert tour of the United States in support of their seventh album
Joshua Tree
.
The politically involved rock quartet sets their sights on American musical influences, previously ignored.
They quickly immerse themselves in the musical culture with a recording session at the legendary
Sun Studios
in Memphis.
Four tracks were recorded that ended up on their next record appropriately called
Rattle And Hum
.
Blues Legend
B.
B.
King
adds his vocals and guitar work to
Love Comes To Town
, and
Angel Of Harlem
is a passionate tribute to the late
Billie Holiday
.
In addition to their original material, the band covers gems from
The Beatles
,
Bob Dylan
, and
Jimi Hendrix
.
Director
Phil Joanou
combines black-and-white with color photography to capture the band on and off the stage.
Only the band's visit to
Elvis Presley
's Graceland seems out of context with the rest of the feature.
Although the band's reverence for Elvis and his music is evident, they are merely tourists standing on the other side of a velvet rope.
Spinal Tap
had a more poignant visit to the king's palace, but
Rattle And Hum
is still one of the best musical documentaries of all time.
Both the musical and political passion of
U2
is evident in every frame.
