One of my favourite movies of all time. The songs are fantastic. Starting with a cover version of the Beatles hit Helter Skelter then moving on to the beautiful Van Diemen's Land (sung by guitarist The Edge) and Desire which I also love
The movie is filmed in black and white and this is my only criticism. There is a bit where the Band visit the grave of Elvis in Graceland which is very moving, especially as drummer Larry points out how unhappy he was about seeing his hero's grave with the eternal flame flickering and how he thought it would distract from the rest of the tour. (incidentally the song Heartland, which I loved was left over from the Joshua Tree)
You also get a cover of Bob Dylan's All along the Watch Tower which I enjoyed plus U2 staples such as With or Without You and Where the Streets have no Name.
I could go on and on about this film. I love it.
