Tour Visuals Montage – curated by Catherine Owens Extras DVD-ROM features Easter egg (a video showing Dublin docklands). On 15 March 2021, U2 announced a concert broadcast series called "The Virtual Road" in partnership with YouTube, by which four of the group's past concert films were remastered and streamed on the band's official YouTube channel for 48 hours each. Popmart: Live from Mexico City began streaming on 1 April, with a pre-recorded performance by Mexican musician Carla Morrison serving as an "opening act". To coincide with the broadcast event, a four-track EP of songs from PopMart: Live from Mexico City was released to streaming services and digital stores. Reception Rob Brunner of Entertainment Weekly said that "unless your living room is the size of the Mexican stadium where this show was shot... the TV version of the PopMart behemoth will seem numbingly excessive, despite energetic versions of 'Where the Streets Have No Name' and 'New Year's Day'". Ben Wener of the Orange County Register said the video "convincingly argues that the much-ballyhooed south of the border jaunt.. wasn't as bad as first imagined" and that though it is unlikely to change fans' minds about their "mediocre tunes" of the time, "it does prove that, in the show's best moments, U2 was trying to accomplish something beyond flash and kitsch". Lawrie Zion of The Age said, "though hardly groundbreaking, the Popmart tour turned out to be an above-average fan pleaser and the video shows a band that obviously knows how to get the most out of the stadium environment". She singled out the Edge's solo performance of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" as the highlight. Reviewing the DVD, Raoul Hernandez of The Austin Chronicle lamented the group's wardrobe and lemon prop from the tour, adding, "Equally dated, Pops disco beats can't smoke and mirror their compositional backbone of the two-hour set, 'Gone,' 'Last Night on Earth,' acoustic Bono/Edge duet 'Staring at the Sun,' 'Please,' and encore 'Discothèque' highlighting the distracted circus onstage." Bob Gendron of the Chicago Tribune thought the tour pushed "ironic spectacle to laughable extremes", with a stage design that dwarfed U2 and silly attire choices. Despite this, he said, "Sometimes the biggest mistakes make for great entertainment", adding: "The pageantry works on DVD. See it if only to witness an ostentatious concept that raises the question of why nobody possessed the sense to prevent it from happening." John Kosik of
