  1. A friend was browsing a record store on his university campus the other day and found something called "U2: ROCK". He picked it up and mailed it to me as an early birthday gift, and it appears to be "The European premier of the PopMart Tour"...sure enough, I popped it in, and it's a pro-recorded version of the concert...

    ...but its not all of it. The back cover lists:

    PopMuzik Intro/Please/Where the Streets Have No Name/Lemon/Discotheque/If You Wear That Velvet Dress

    And it also says it comes with CD-ROM accessible video content from the show. Does anyone have any knowledge of what this is? My version of Quicktime is too new to play the material- it's really not compatible. I'm trying to get an older version to play the video content (from the looks of the files, it comes with a DVD-like menu, etc.). I'm not really anything for buying bootlegs, but it just showed up in my mailbox this afternoon, so I contacted him about it and he said he didn't pay very much for it- good thing.

    The audio quality is fantastic- but the tracks are blocked in one 30 minute track, and I'm not sure I have the software to split them up. I can up to mediafire and someone can snatch it, splice it, and upload it to our show page, so we at least have a high-quality version of the encore.

    Let me know what you know about this, and if you want the audio uploaded! Thanks!

  2. That's the Rotterdam footage then. Available on Disc 2 of Popmart Mexico


  3. Ah, then I won't waste my time trying to access it. Is the audio just basically a DVD rip of what's on that disc, therefore unable to be shared?

    Yea the audio is likely just a straight rip from the video. The BBC did a special for the opening night in Rotterdam. Your bootleg seems to be that special

    Alrighty then. Low price, to me, screamed "not that rare!!!" haha..I'll keep it on the shelf anyway, can't hurt to have another thing with "U2" written on it
  6. I can't really add to Gerard's words, perfect and concise explanation.

    But I just wanted to recommend you to get mp3DirectCut, Matt (just Google it). Really easy to use - does everything (add fades? cut in smaller clips? remove silence? everything) - oh, and it's free - no adware, no anything - just the perfect and extra-light audio editor. Get it .
  7. Oh sweet! I've looked for stuff like that in the past but I never really got into it enough to find something good/free- I appreciate the link Sergio!
  8. I have this CD! The video footage is interesting, kind of bad quality, but it's nonetheless a cool CD to have.


  9. i always thought it was a better quality than the blurry Mexico dvd...

  10. Then that must qualify your post as spam to simply add to your post count.





  11. I could not agree with what you said any more*. Perfect, concise, description of what's going on throughout not only this thread, but Sergio's post history.

    *Nor would I add to it


  12. What about yours, then? Just posting (~spamming in my book) in order to clarify that my absolutely meaningful and neccesary post was spam? Ya effin' brit ...

    Thanks for the cumpliment, Matt


    By the way, yesterday I didn't have the time to search for it, but here's the official page of mp3DirectCut.
