As expected, once the U2 machinery got up to speed, the video and audio from their Paris appearance (original appearance was disrupted by the November tragedy) would become commercially available.
That happens on June 10. The December shows are planned for Blu-ray (BD), DVD, 2DVD, and a 2DVD/BD Super Deluxe Box with lots of extras. The set is being called INNOCENCE +eXPERIENCE – Live in Paris.
The overview of the video is a 2 and a half hour film with 30 performance tracks including the appearance by Eagles Of Death Metal.
The DVD will be limited to just those performances. The 2DVD set will offer an additional 15 performance tracks, and will feature the Patti Smith performance as well as Gavin Friday’s guide to “Cedarwood Road”. There will also be a ‘behind the scenes’ documentary filmed by the director, Hamish Hamilton. Additionally, the bonus DVD will contain several on-stage tour films, and some music videos.
The BD will contain all of the content found over the two DVD offerings.
The Super Deluxe Box will bundle both the 2DVD set and the BD together. But the Super Deluxe Box goes beyond (of course!) with the addition of an exclusive USB lightbulb, 64-page page hard-bound book, individually numbered dog tags, stencil set, postcard set, sticker set, and pin badges (I resisted the line from Blazing Saddles).
The set will also be made available as a video download.
