Originally posted by digitizeOkay, I'm surprised I'm already thinking about this, but, for the next tour, I'll probably want to give back to U2Start and the rest of the U2 community if I can by making my own bootleg. Is there an idiot's guide to doing this? I have never been to a U2 concert (seriously), so I'm not sure how security is, etc. Also, I'd like to try to get something higher-quality than an audience recording... IEM or ALD (in an American arena).

Take your iPod in

results aren't great. You need some really decent mics and you can't really get them for the ipod though Hard Drive based recorders can offer decent results.
I do agree that it would be nice to try and make a recording yourself but worrying about mics, equipment, security etc is surely going to divert your attention from the actual gig is it not? Best bet is to hope that someone who knows the job records the gig you attend
Originally posted by digitizeWhat about IEM, though? I think they're on UHF, typically... it couldn't be that hard to intercept. Or ALD, if it's in an American arena (like it would be for me), would probably by pretty simple. ALD goes out over some sort of an FM signal, so, theoretically, even without the "official" listening equipment, it might be possible to pick the signal up just outside of the arena...

Originally posted by stj0691My dad has this mp3 player that records audio.... can't be real loud though, so I probably will try and find someone to record something. I got to record U2 3D, but it came out bad... so if it was muffled, would that lower the volume?
As for finding a pro.... Rubber Dubber anyone?
