  1. I don't think a list of shows where a user can access a streaming video is worth compiling. If it's a specific show then check the show page and if there are no videos available then head over to youtube
  2. That is a constructive reply, and a valid reason. Compiling a list is 2 minutes work though. Imho the only reason not to do it is because with dozens of lists the site becomes harder to comprehend.

    Too much work.
    This site is about being handy.


  4. Yup. Everything is made way too easy. Let some folks do stuff themselves I say
  5. You make it sound as a bad thing. We have the content, if we can change the way we present the content that makes it better for everyone, everyone wins.
  6. That is NOT alway useful, a lot of times the users don't put the dates (or the right dates) on the video's description, making them really hard to find. Moreover, there are a lot of videos from recent tours (>2001) from many cities; if you want to find a video from 1992 Milan without the right description, you'll have to go through 20+ pages of 2009 and 2005 videos until you find it.

    Why making it so hard, if you can write a simple script to list them here?


  7. True, but its hardly a reason to stop improving the site.


  8. A list doesn't add value. A constructive torrent option does though aswell as a comprehensive photo section. We have both of those and both encourage user input which should be the direction to go.

    If that's your definition of hard, I wonder how you manage real life?

    Btw. If I search for Milan 1992 U2, all I get is U2 videos from Milan 1992. Really hard.
  10. Of course i agree about the torrent and photo section. You know I'm a huge advocate of the first one But its just plain stupid to add 1000s of clips without presenting them in a good way.

    Not saying that we should add a list, but its always good to try improving the site. Especially if we already have the content.

  11. I think you knew I don't have real life, I just spend my days arguing with you and playing guitar

    I doubt you find all the videos ever uploaded for that show. There will be a lot that don't respond to that search, just because people is lazy and they give video's description as "U2 live", or "Zoo Station in Italy", etc.


    Nevermind, I just wanted to say that a list of the shows (specially pre-2000) which have streaming videos is/might be useful, it takes 3 minutes to write and doesn' t make any harm.


  12. Maybe by making things easier for himself instead of thougher. This discussion is going no where.

    Also disappointed that someone like you starts playing it against the person.
