“Writing a memoir is a whole other level of navel-gazing,” the eponymous navel gazer tells us at the top of the new Apple TV+ release “Bono: Stories of Surrender.” What, then, is a concert film of a stage show adapted from a memoir?

Pretty good is what, at least for viewers not incurably afflicted with Bono derangement syndrome. You know who you are. To U2-curious persuadables, I say unto thee that the water is warm.

Inspired, it would appear, by “Springsteen on Broadway,” the solo show the Boss wrung from his autobiography “Born to Run,” Bono booked a short tour of theaters in 2023 to translate at least some of the 576-page “Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story,” published the previous fall, to the singer’s natural habitat.
