Hello Please Help

[RickFly]

please help.
my sisters neighbor is a huge u2 fan and a good family friend. the wife has cancer and i was wanting to make them a best of 4 disc live compilation. i got some great cover art ideas from the ladies/and gents at pleba and was wondering if i could get some great ideas as far as song lists, which songs to start with, which versions to use. etc..,. also which songs not to include. i want to make this as professional looking as possible.

as far as elevation which version should i use? elevation tour or vertigo tour?

any ideas please let me know.


thanx

are you trying to make the cd flow as if it were one concert or are you trying to just have like a best of type thing? If you were making a concert I would suggest using vertigo tour because you could fit it in anywhere if u used the elevation version it would almost have to be first. But if you are just looking for the best version they both are good it is just on personal preference. I really like the vertigo version cause it was so different I really like the version from the Milan DVD bono really plays with the crowd and its pretty cool but the Slane Castle version of elevation is pretty cool because there is soooo much energy in the crowd and it kind of just explodes when that song starts. Hope this helps I dont think you can go wrong with either just depending on what kind of cd you are making. GOOD LUCK!!

i am going to have a mix of it flowing and fade in and out into different eras. i also love both versions. any suggestions or ideas please feel free to give.

thanx

If it's four discs, do you want songs from different eras mixed together?

Ok what program are you going to use to make the cd? I did this with itunes and i sometimes would cut something out of the song like a long appluase or bono talking at the end so it would go into the next song better this makes it more realistic.

Some of my favorite live songs...

Running to Stand Still from At The Eleventh Hour bootleg

Desire from Irving Plaza (2000)

Streets from the audio rip of the Boston DVD

SBS from Rattle n Hum

Walk On from the Grammy's

 

[RickFly]

i was thinking of mixing some of the eras. when i do switch eras i was going to fade out and fade in to the next. the only era that i think i wont do that to is the vertigo and elevation tours. i am going to use the sbs from rattle and hum, and streets from boston dvd.

 

[RickFly]

any and all suggestions please give them.
