DVD

If a fan could create the ultimate Irish rock concert, Greatest Irish Bands (Hip-O/UTV Records), released February 24, 2004, just three weeks before St. Patrick’s Day, would be that Celtic rockfest. With signature songs from U2, Sinéad O’Connor, The Pogues, Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy, The Corrs, Stiff Little Fingers, Hothouse Flowers, The Undertones, Boomtown Rats, The Cranberries, Rory Gallagher, and Clannad featuring Bono plus the bonus DVD short film Sightings Of Bono, a must-have-for-any-U2-fan available for the first time, Greatest Irish Bands rocks the Emerald Isle and beyond. U2 is heard with "Where The Streets Have No Name," the Top 20 hit from 1987’s The Joshua Tree, the band’s first #1 album.

Bono is also part of Sightings Of Bono, a seven-minute film shot in Dublin in 2000 (based on a short story by Irish writer Gerard Beirne) about a girl who sees the U2 lead singer everywhere until she eventually meets him in the shop where she works. The short was seen in a few theaters and on the Internet but has never been released elsewhere until now.
