U2′s The Joshua Tree Remastered has been released, and I am glad we have the long Thanksgiving weekend to check it out. With any collection it’s hard to know where to start. I did listen to disc 1 on my noise canceling headphones and the re-mastering sounds pretty good, but the proof will come when I can crank up the stereo. I did sample the DVD disc and the concert from Paris. It’s funny to see Bono and the Edge with their long hair!
