I don't think there has ever been an "official" statement... I remember a video on U2.com where they interviewed Adam after the band had brought back Out of Control on 360 and he said that him and the Edge were listening to the last time they'd played the song in Saitama on Vertigo before the show... Obviously they wouldn't be listening to an audience recording...
I've always had the thought that they should make all the shows available on their website to purchase and have all or some of the proceeds going to the ONE campaign or some other charity...
Perhaps they don't do it because people might try to make a profit by re-selling them or something.
