Easy to mock, U2, but this 45 minute documentary has footage from 1983 that shows just how talented they are as musicians - watching Edge playing guitar and piano at the same time is quite something.
The interviews are with journalists of the period, and it did what great rockumentaries should - made me dig out their first three albums again.
