Achtung Baby: The Cameos, Videos...

[nunoandy]

Sorry to bother you all, but I am trying to ascertain which U2 video items have only ever been released on VHS. I am left with the conclusion that on the "Achtung Baby..." VHS released in the early 1990's on VHS, the video for "Until The End Of The World" plus "Even Better Than The Real Thing" from Los Angeles in 1992, have never been released on any other format. Is this the case? And what about the "Interference" segments in between? Have they been included on the Super Deluxe A.B. box set, for example? I know there were lots of bits on the DVD discs, but I don't have the means of playing the original VHS to find out.

Many thanks,

Andy

Most, if not all, of the interference bits are an easter egg on the Zoo TV Sydney DVD.  Can't remember if it's just on the deluxe 2 DVD version or if it's also on the the single DVD version.

From the Achtung Baby VHS tape, Until the End of the World, and one of the Even Better than Real Thing videos has not been released on DVD.

The other videos limited to VHS releases are some of the Best of 1980-1990 videos.  Angel of Harlem, When Love Comes to Town, All I Want is You.  Best of 1980-1990 was released on Video CD just in case that excludes it from your VHS-only list.

Achtung Baby had a limited release on Laserdisc too, FWIW.

I don't believe the I Will Follow video has ever appeared on DVD, either.

Oh yeah, also One Tree Hill.  That was also on the 1980-1990 VHS video.
