This DVD is both an excellent survey of U2's music during the past decade and a fascinating anthology of music videos, both conceptual and performance. Musically, it contains all of the songs from the regular release of the CD "U2: The Best of 1990-2000", with the exception that "For the First Time" is replaced by "The Fly". In addition, it contains seven bonus tracks, songs lamented by many for not being included on the CD. Cinematically, it boasts both performance and conceptual videos of varying quality; with the inclusion of intriguing director commentaries, many of the videos merit multiple viewings. Alternate videos for "Even Better Than The Real Thing", "One", "Stuck in a Moment...", "Staring at the Sun", and "Numb" are provided to yield a total of 28 music videos for 23 songs. As a special treat, three documentaries are included. All in all, this is an amazing DVD.

TRACKLIST1. "The Fly" (our first glimpse of U2 chopping down 'The Joshua Tree' and a preview to the imagry of the ZooTV tour to follow)
2. "Mysterious Ways" (to match The Edge's liquid guitar sounds, the entire video is appropriately shot with a shimmering lens)
3. "One" (two versions for a song with multiple interpretations)
4. "Even Better Than the Real Thing" (successfully capturing the imagry in the song)
5. "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" [Temple Bar Edit] (mostly a compilation of some live video footage combined with some studio shots of Bono singing)
6. "Until the End of the World" (again, more of a compilation of live video footage from the ZooTV Tour)
7. "Numb" (multiple versions - one used as video on the ZooTV tour and the other more infamous version with The Edge being assaulted/adorned, the latter of which is probably the band's best video)
8. "Lemon" (including the introduction of Bono's character "MacPhisto")
9. "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" (directed by Wim Venders, this one has excellent cinematography and follows along the story-line of the movie for which the song was penned)
10. "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" (although this wholly-animated video could have been better without all the gratuitous tie-ins to the 'Batman Forever', it is entertaining nonetheless)
11. "Miss Sarajevo" (a beautiful song with a somewhat unmemorable video)
12. "Discotheque" (the source of much ire surrounding the 'Pop' (1997) record, it is worth it to see the band having fun)
13. "Staring at the Sun" (nothing particularly memorable in this video, as U2 don the Miami-look)
14. "Last Night On Earth" (although deliberately conceptual, getting the band to actually act is always a questionable proposition)
15. "Please" (an underrated song and an underrated video, although the latter does not quite catch the political bent to the lyrics)
16. "If God Would Send His Angels" (on this one, the conceptualism works as the top half of the screen displays Bono singing on a bus seat while the bottom half displays the person sitting (or not sitting) across from him)
17. "Gone" [Live] (this is a live video taken from the 'PopMart Live in Mexico City' VHS, which IS better than the studio version included on the 'Pop' record)
18. "Mofo" (using a remix of the song, this one is simply cuts of live video footage)
19. "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" (good video for a movie promo, complete with Salmon Rushdie, who wrote the lyrics)
20. "Beautiful Day" (if you haven't seen this one, then you've been living under a rock - NOTE: for an alternate version, get the double-CD version of 'The Best of 1990-2000' which includes the History Mix DVD)
21. "Stuck in a Moment" (two versions - one more serious and the other more humorous)
22. "Electrical Storm" (Larry Mullen makes his acting debut with Samantha Morton - visually quite nice)
23. "The Hands That Built America" (just a studio performance)
