Popmart: Live from Mexico City is a video release by rock band U2 from their Popmart Tour. Recorded on December 3, 1997 at Foro Sol Autodromo on the band's featured stop in Mexico City, Mexico, it was released on VHS in 1998.
As of 2006, U2 Limited is working on a DVD release for 2007 following the release of Zoo TV: Live from Sydney on DVD in September 2006.[citation needed]
[edit] Footage
The show opens with the non-dance version of "Mofo", and contains standard Popmart setlist inclusions. Bono forgets some of the lyrics of "Desire" during the acoustic set. While minor edits were made before release (such as Bono telling a fan to turn his laser pointer off at the end of "Last Night On Earth") this is the only U2 home video to date to contain a concert's complete setlist. Selected tracks from this performance were later released on the 2000 exclusive fan club-only live album, Hasta La Vista Baby!.
Captured on video, this concert is the only time that "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is not played on a Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster or "Bullet the Blue Sky" is not performed with a Fender Stratocaster (both are played with a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop).
