'The photobook and CD have arrived ! It's simply unbelievable and takes me back to the six shows I went to in Europe. What a mindblowing CD. They're only getting better ....'

A handsome parcel enclosing From The Ground Up: U2.com Music Edition is now landing, with a thud, on the doorsteps of U2.com subscribers around the world.

The lavish photobook telling the inside story of U2360°, complete with the limited-edition CD Edge's Picks, is getting rave reviews.

'My copy arrived yesterday and it made my year. The design and quality are incredible, and the music? Wow!  From the very first listen I was transported back to Croke Park on those two incredible nights...'

Great reception too for the FIVE bonus live downloads available as soon as you subscribe (or resubscribe) to U2.com - Desire, Pride, Angel of Harlem, Spanish Eyes and No Line On The Horizon.
 'An absolutely brilliant 2012 for live music from U2.com... many, many thanks.'

My greatest Xmas gift
The package finally arrived last week. Waiting with patience was worthy. I've started the 360 tour in Barcelona, my home town, and also was lukcy to see other concerts including some in the US. The quality of the book is amazing with great pictures and short stories bring me back to that great moments. The CD included rocks indeed !!! There is any song from Barcelona Camp Nou in this CD neither U22 or the bonus tracks, but to be there was a privilege, unforgettable !!! thank you U2 for the music and the great moments !!!

From the ground up is awesome!!!
Just got my copy of From The Ground Up and it is fantastic! I read the whole book in 3 days. I love the personal stories and little anecdotes throughout! Really cool book design with the photos in the front jacket and CD in the back. I LOVE Edge's picks, especially that he knows you have to end a U2 show with "40"!!! Thank you U2!

Best Live Album Yet!
Drum Solo intro to "Breathe" gave me immediate goosebumps. Brought the most amazing tour in history back to life. Great choices Edge! "In a Little While" is my favorite U2 song, and I was so pumped when it made a live album! Can't wait for new album and tour!!!

"From The Ground Up"...MARAVILLOSO!!!
Recibí mi libro "From the Ground Up" en Caracas, Venezuela hace dos días y puedo decir que es sencillamente espectacular...un gran regalo sin duda que todo fan de la banda debería tener y el CD EDGE'S PICKS es fantástico...una gran selección donde para mi gusto destaco la hermosa "Electrical Storm", la siempre querida "New Year's Day", la increíble interpretación de Bono en "Miss Sarajevo", "Hold Me, Thrill Me...." que me trae hermosos recuerdos de santiago de Chile donde presencié la gira y porsupuesto el gran cierre con "40" que significó el final de la gira...en resumen esto es un grandioso regalo....GRACIAS DE TODO CORAZÓN.... I Love You U2!!!

Great!!!
the book is of supreme quality, great shots great print. But the Ege picks are fantastic. These are the songs I wanted it to hear from 360. (I think once we all tore down the Joshua tree in '92 we should have left the remains there!) Your Blue Room and Eletrical Strorm are excellently done and I didn't get to hear them In Europe, hence my pleasure. With U22 and the book and the edges picks, we have a perfect record of the tour . Nice one Edge!!!

Edge's Picks
What happened to Larry's drum solo at the end of 40? I so wanted to hear that. Great book and great cd. Best fan club in the world.

Finally it arrived!!!
When I woke up today, it was on my desk (apparently I arrived yesterday, but I was at the university) I loved the whole CD, particularly 'Electrical Storm'... WOW!!! Way to enjoy 2013!!! ¡¡¡Sal-U2 desde Puebla, México!!!

U22 how do you top that? From the Groun
U22 for me was the ultimate/ best U2.com/ Fan Club subscription package. But then From the Ground Up comes out with the CD of Edge's Pick, sorry U22 whilst I still think you're terrific, this new CD is better still (just for '40', 'Scarlet' and 'Electrical Storm' alone!). Well U2.com I asked you last time how you were gonna better U22 and you did. But bet you can't beat From the Ground Up/ Edge's Picks as a sub/resub package?! Go on dare yer ;0)

We have lift off in Chicago!
Just received my FTGU book and CD and I can say I am just as blown away as everyone else has been. Wow...great picks by the Edge and great pics in the book. This week, I was listened to all 7 the U2.com members gifts in anticipation of getting this one, and they are all good, but this one and U22 are simply Magnificent. Amazing!

Can't stop rockin
Just absolutely blown away by this subscriber's gift this year. Edge's picks are the best yet - if he really picked them, then he needs to keep doing so for future releases, 'cos they are absolute gems: from Bono's interposition of Soldier Boy in Blue Room to the absolutely ripping version of Vertigo, this is the best live album I've heard in years. It has the vibe of a top quality bootleg. As for the book - nothing short of superb! A great record of the tour and the whole 360 project. Finally, these guys are still absolutely rocking and shouldn;t think about hanging up the boots just yet. There's at least a couple more albums and tours left in them yet!

Thank you U2, this is the best fan club release to date. The quality of the book and the CD are incredible, it's a real treasure. I have been transported back to the 360 show at Wembley Stadium August 15th 2009 again.

Swimming in the sound
From The Ground Up arrived in my country Austria on January 9. With many intense shots of band, audience and the stage, this hardcover book remarkably documents the history of the 360 Tour and some great stories give insight about the evolution of the Claw including its gigantic architecture. When I look at Bono performing in the rain I can see his unconditional dedication to his audience and the music. The cd revives many memories of unforgettable live moments, evoking the magic I experienced at U2´s concerts. The long drum intro of Breathe builds up a lot of electric tension, culminating in the powerful guitar riffs of a fantastic show opener. One of my personal favourites is Electrical Storm-a masterpiece that proves the band´s sensitivity to combine dreamy soundscapes with exhilarating energy. With Scarlet, U2 deliver a joyous celebration of Aung San Suu Kyi´s release and 40 captures the bittersweet mood many of us felt after the final 360 show. Once again, the beauty and emotional depth of those live tracks remind me of the reason why I have become a U2 fan.

New album?????????from the last of the g
Yeh, is there a new album coming, it's been nearly four years, what are u boys up to? Hope they working hard on some great songs as usual... Keep up the tempo, the greatest rock band of all time and still kicking.... I am sick off hearing about the Rolling Stones, led zeppelin and the Beatles as the biggest bands, were are they now and when did they last conquer the world with a new massive tour and new songs? There is only one and there will only ever be one band that is the undisputed heavy weight champions of the rock world, the band is U2.

Thank You U2
