Timeline U2

Vertigo: Live from Chicago (sometimes featured as Vertigo '05: Live from Chicago ) is an Irish rock band U2 concert film released on Island Records in November 2005. The film was published in two versions: on one DVD, as well as in a gift format, which includes a second disc with bonus materials and a documentary.

Vertigo: Live from Chicago was assembled from two shows that the musicians played in Chicago in the spring of 2005. During the Vertigo Tour , two more live DVDs were recorded ^[comm. ^1] .

The concert was warmly received by the public, topping the relevant charts in eleven countries. As of January 2007, it is the group's best-selling DVD. According to Nielsen SoundScan , in the United States alone, more than a quarter of a million discs have been sold.

Overall, Vertigo '05 received positive reviews from music critics. Camille Albertson of Allmusic thought the DVD had done its job, but in some scenes the lighting and camera "didn’t focus on the highlights." Despite the positive tone of the review, MusicOMH's John Murphy concluded that most U2 fans don't need to buy this DVD if they already have Elevation: Live from Boston or Go Home: Live from Slane Castle . According to Mike Schiller of PopMatters , the show was shot at a high professional level, but "it's a typical U2 live DVD."
