The concert residency “U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere” is being held at “The Sphere”, a super spectacular venue unprecedented and unexplored by mankind. The best masterpiece and the much-talked-about multi-camera video will be released as a gift.
The true nature of this work is an audience shot produced and announced by overseas enthusiasts. “U2: UV Achtung Baby Live” has held 14 performances at the moment, but this work is not one of them. It is an edited work that has been reassembled into a full show (or more) by luxuriously and freely assembling countless materials from various shows.
This video is also included in “BEST OF THE SPHERE 2023 (Uxbridge 2034)” which is normally released this week, but it is too definitive. We have decided to release it as a special gift title so that as many people as possible can experience it.

The quality is truly shocking. The members’ close-ups are completely professional shot level, and there is a wide variety of performances, including the super spectacular performances unique to “The Sphere.” The way these pieces are connected in a luxurious way, and the perspective changes constantly even within a single song, is a result that can only be called “official”.
“Daily songs” further enhance the sense of culmination. “U2:UV Achtung Baby Live” is a great performance of all the songs of the famous album “Achtung Baby”, but that is by no means the only thing. There is also a part that allows you to change the songs, giving you the colors of each day. In order to explain that aspect, let’s take a look at the set of this work.

●“Acton Baby” Section #1
・Zoo Station/The Fly/Even Better Than The Real Thing/Mysterious Ways/One/Until The End Of The World/Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses/Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World
●Acoustic section
・Scream of the Soul: All I Want Is You/Desire/Angel Of Harlem/Love Rescue Me
・Others: When Love Comes To Town (★) / I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (★) / Pride (In The Name Of Love) (★) / MLK (★)
●“Acton Baby” Section #2
・So Cruel/Acrobat/Ultraviolet (Light My Way)/Love Is Blindness
●Encore
・Elevation/Atomic City (new song)/Vertigo/Where the Streets Have No Name/With or Without You/Beautiful Day
*Note: “★” marks are daily songs that could not be seen in the multi-camera edited masterpiece “LAS VEGAS 2023 1ST NIGHT: THE VIDEO”.

…and it looks like this. We have some variations in the acoustic set in the middle, but the basic set that is played the most is the four songs from “RATTLE AND HUM”: “All I Want Is You,” “Desire,” “Angel Of Harlem,” and “Love Rescue.” Me”. This work includes all of them, and also includes the daily specials “When Love Comes To Town,” “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “Pride (In The Name Of Love),” and “MLK.” You can watch it.
*Note: “Shallow” was also performed with Lady Gaga on “December 25th (12th performance)”, but this video was produced before that and is not included. At this point, it’s a shame that we haven’t been able to include all the songs.

Immediately after the start of “U2:UV Achtung Baby Live”, the first day’s multi-camera video “LAS VEGAS 2023 1ST NIGHT: THE VIDEO” reigned as the masterpiece, but this work is the greatest multi-camera video since then. Not only is it an indispensable collector’s work, but it is also a superb compilation that is perfect for the first experience of “U2:UV Achtung Baby Live”, which is making waves all over the world. Please take this opportunity to experience it!

 前代未聞・人類未踏の超スペクタクル会場「スフィア(The Sphere)」で行われているコンサート・レジデンシー“U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere”。その最高傑作と話題のマルチカメラ映像がギフト・リリース決定です。
 そんな本作の正体は、海外マニアが制作・発表したオーディエンス・ショット。“U2:UV Achtung Baby Live”は現時点で 14公演が行われましたが、本作はどの公演でもない。様々なショウの無数の素材を贅沢・自在に組み上げてフルショウ(以上)に組み直された編集作品なのです。
 この映像は、今週通常リリースの『BEST OF THE SPHERE 2023(Uxbridge 2034)』にも収録されていますが、あまりにも決定的な内容。ぜひ1人でも多くの方に触れていただきたく、ギフト・タイトルとしても特別リリースする事に致しました。
 
 そのクオリティは、まさに衝撃。メンバーのドアップは完全プロショット級ですし、「スフィア(The Sphere)」ならではの超スペクタクルまで多種多様。それらを贅沢三昧に繋ぎ合わせ、1曲内でもコロコロ視点が変わる様は、それこそ「まるでオフィシャル」とでも呼ぶしかない仕上がりです。
 さらに集大成感を高めているのが「日替わり曲」。“U2:UV Achtung Baby Live”は名盤『アクトン・ベイビー』全曲演奏がウリですが、決してそれだけではない。曲を入れ替えられるパートも用意されており、日々の色合いを出しているのです。その辺をご説明するためにも、ここで本作のセットを整理して見ましょう。
 
●『アクトン・ベイビー』セクション#1
・Zoo Station/The Fly/Even Better Than The Real Thing/Mysterious Ways/One/Until The End Of The World/Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses/Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World
●アコースティック・セクション
・魂の叫び:All I Want Is You/Desire/Angel Of Harlem/Love Rescue Me
・その他:When Love Comes To Town(★)/I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For(★)/Pride (In The Name Of Love)(★)/MLK(★)
●『アクトン・ベイビー』セクション#2
・So Cruel/Acrobat/Ultraviolet (Light My Way)/Love Is Blindness
●アンコール
・Elevation/Atomic City(新曲)/Vertigo/Where the Streets Have No Name/With or Without You/Beautiful Day
※注;「★」印はマルチカメラ編集の名作『LAS VEGAS 2023 1ST NIGHT: THE VIDEO』で観られなかった日替わり曲。
 
……と、このようになっています。中盤のアコースティック・セットで変化を付けているのですが、一番演奏回数の多い基本セットは『RATTLE AND HUM』の4曲「All I Want Is You」「Desire」「Angel Of Harlem」「Love Rescue Me」。本作ではそれらをすべて収録した上で、日替わり用の「When Love Comes To Town」「I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For」「Pride (In The Name Of Love)」「MLK」もまとめて観る事ができるのです。
※注:「12月25日(12公演目)」にはレディ・ガガとの共演で「Shallow」も演奏されましたが、この映像はその前に制作されたので未収録。現時点では惜しいところで「全曲収録」とは行きませんでした。
