Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This concert film is compiled from the South American leg of U2's Vertigo tour, and if you've never warmed to their competent brand of messianic stadium rock, it will grieve you to note audiences going nuts for it in Buenos Aires, Mexico City and Sao Paulo. Por favor!
Whatever the merits of the music, the spectacle of the band on stage is not an exciting one, with Clayton and The Edge striking some very dull poses as they watch Bono cavort around with his usual self-important bluster – a missionary in wraparound shades.
You can't blame him for relishing the adulation, but you can be baffled by it. I no longer see his mug without thinking of David Walliams' hilarious impersonation of him in Rock Profile, complaining that he still hasn't been paid for performing at Live Aid.
