2022 subscriber gift: Achtung Baby 30 Live - Page 5

DeVaul · 12-18-2022, 10:32 AM

Hell, if you’re renewing, it’s $40.

Hewson · 12-18-2022, 08:14 PM

The subscription is kept up for ticket access, anything else is gravy. (Hey, I have a CD player in my car so I'll get to listen to it if it ever arrives)

Plus, as Devaul said, it's only $40 a year if you renew before your sub expires (at least in the US. might be more for fictional nations like Australia)

Do you get early access to tickets if you live internationally?

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 12-18-2022, 09:25 PM

Only if you pay in dollarydoos

It's definitely a nice collection of songs to have and not everybody is into bootlegs, so I'm sure some will appreciate it more than others.

I do wish they'd start to release official bootlegs though, just start with one show from each leg of each tour or something like that. And there's a few pro-shot shows which have never seen the light of day too I guess.

DeVaul · 12-19-2022, 09:22 AM

With the advent of things like Nugs, there’s no good reason to not have official live show releases out there for the hardcore to spend their money on in whatever format they like.

“They’re lazy” is a reason, yes, just not a *good* reason.

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 12-19-2022, 11:42 AM

While I'm definitely interested in more live recordings, not less... U2 doesn't have the setlist rotation that would make releasing every show viable for a release on Nugs ...

But that's another issue altogether, isn't it?

mikal · 12-19-2022, 12:26 PM

Yeah, considering they're know for putting on such a great live show, I'm surprised that we haven't seen more "From the Vault" live recordings. Like earlier ZooTV, Rotterdamn Popmart, etc..

DeVaul · 12-19-2022, 12:31 PM

Special shows, legendary/formative performances and extended runs with setlist variation would be a relatively simple first pass to get a list going.

Or they could use their [cough] website to run polls for eras and shows and go from there. Source the info from the hardcore who will actually spend the money.

Somehow, some way, the digital files are still not available for download

I think I know why. They sent the CD to the intern who's supposed to upload their files, but their MacBook doesn't have a disk drive.

Shipping delays...whatever, but not making the whole thing downloadable is a bit worrysome.

dan_smee · 12-30-2022, 06:36 PM

Downloads are now up
