Rattle and Hum

U2 · 1988

3.0

The hubris document that's better than its reputation: Rattle and Hum interleaves a Joshua Tree tour film's live cuts with American-roots studio experiments — "Desire"'s Bo Diddley beat, "Angel of Harlem"'s Stax horns, B.B. King duetting. The myth-chasing earned the backlash; "All I Want Is You" alone justifies the salvage.
