  1. Hi there!

    Thought I would seek some recommendations from you guys .
    I'd like to compile my own U2-DVD made ov video bootlegs and need some advice as of which performances I should use for my potential setlist.

    If you know a video bootleg that has rather good picture and sound quality, and that has either an awesome live rendition, has a cool rendition including a fan, or that has a cool rendition because Bono, Larry, Edge or Adam messed up a bit...plz tell me!

    I got those so far:

    ...I have a couple more in mind but cannot stick them to a date because me (=stupid) didn't write a list with such kind of comments when I started watching U2 bootlegs.

    Thanks in advance!
  2. I'd add an awesome Streets. Assuming you're avoiding official releases (if not, then Slane), perhaps Point Depot 31-12-89? It's out there (Gerard posted it for iPod this week)


    Others will have more idea, hopefully my relatively dull post will keep it active for others to jump in.

    Thanks for helping to bump this

    I guess you mean that Streets-version that has Auld Lang Syne (?) as intro ? I have this somewhere on a compilation DVD I believe. Thanks a lot for the recommendation, I'll check it out! And yeah for now I try to avoid stuff from official releases.

    Actually I'm thinking of making also a kind of "let me help you to convert to U2"-DVD-compilation (likely including official releases, too) for some friends that need to get aware of U2's greatness...

    Where're Sergio and Gerrard when you need them ?
  4. i'll make sure I post some thought when I get a chance to have a flick through my collection. Does anything go? ie the performances don't have to be pre-shot or anything like that do they?
  5. Kite - Sydney 2006-11-13
    Desire - Rotterdam 1990-01-10 (and Bad from the same show)
    Sunday Bloody Sunday - East Rutherford 86 or Dublin 86
    Sunday Bloody Sunday - Sarajevo
    C'mon Everybody - 1987-08-01 Edinburgh
    Stay - (Dublin 93)

    oh, I hope he did well in those tests. I wouldn't ....mh, do you think he'll response ?

    @ Gerrard: Thanks for your recs. The Brussels' renditions are cool but I'm afraid the quality is too bad for my purpose. I totally forgot about Edinburgh 1987 tho!!!! I love that bootleg

    Gotta check out your other recs tonight, thanks for your help!
