Have any of you people who are bashing the Party Girl version ever stopped to think how you would feel if your personal performance with U2 had occurred on the night of the DVD taping and it wasn't included on the DVD?? Even if you don't like the song Laura performed, give her a freakin' break. It was the moment of her life. All of you moaning about the potential inclusion of that awesome and unique version of Party Girl are just jealous it wasn't you up there. And you know what??? There's are really cool button on your DVD if it is - it's called skip. I for one will be very sad if it's not on there because Laura is a personal friend. That's my 2 cents...

You ROCK!
It would be a great inclusion.. something different and memorable.. I for one would enjoy it

 

[bonoz]

Yes but since U2 are really bringing back some of the past thigns (i.e. return to running to stand still, wild horses, electric co, other stuff, inviting bruce springsteen in philly like in 87, and so on and so forth)

party girl would have been nice..

then again they usually aim the DVD for the more the more general audience instead of us hardcores...

because they know we're gonna buy it no matter what.. they need to put all the famous and new songs on the setlist so that the "new" fans buy it.

The reason U2 cannot include fans playing with the band on the DVD is for legal issues. The fan could have a claim on any royalties that the DVD generates. I'm sure U2's lawyers nixed the idea.

Royalties for what? Playing a U2 song? Wouldn't the fan have to be a card carrying member of the RIAA to collect any monies? And didn't the venue have some sort of disclaimer for those attending the show that they may be filmed and appear in an official band production? Otherwise wouldn't they have to put the mosaic blurry squares over the faces in the front row? And if there were these types of legal issues, they wouldn't have brought the fan up there in the first place, right? Maybe the performance just wasn't good enough to make the dvd? These are all valid questions, I guess.

I'm sure that U2 could have offered some sort of compensation to the fan (as if being eternally memorialized in a dvd wasn't enough) to allow that small footage in the dvd.

Maybe the FAN is the one who refused to have themselves included in the video, too.. always a possibility.

Yeah, good points. There are probably several reasons for not including the song. The disclaimer on the ticket applies mainly to use of image. By performing with the band, the fan becomes the 5th member of U2(for one song, legally speaking) and could potentially claim a share of revenues - RIAA member or not.

The fan might think that they are the 5th member of U2, but I think the band would kindly consider them a 'special guest'.

the fan expects no royalties

the fan signed 3 copies of the same waiver stating it as such

the fan hasn't had any contact with anyone remotely close to u2's camp in regards to inclusion on the dvd

the fan has no greedy or delusional motives

let's not blame "the fan" here, k?

 

[ramblin rose]

Wow, those pictures that u2Wedge posted look really nice.

 

[rantor49]

Stories, Sorry your performance didn't make the DVD. Just curious though, how did the waiver thing work. Did you sign them after the fact or what. Just curious of the inner workings and all. Thanks,

 

[psychou2fan]

I'm still hoping it shows up as an easter egg....

i signed one after they taped a bunch of fan interviews with people in the GA line on may 7th. i signed the other two during the shows, one after each time i was on stage.

I think so too. I don't think we should lose hope just yet.

Thanks for the insight. I hope your performance will be an easter egg also. If not, they can't take away the memories or the pictures or the audio and video that were recorded by audience members from you

 

[ruffian]

U2Wedge, this may have been answered already--where'd you get the DVD? can't wait to see it!

Apple has the new iPod TV ad with a U2 DVD clip here:
