I don't have very many. I'd love to get the older ones but don't have any way to trade with people, so I'm pretty much SOL because everyone wants a trade.

Elevation tour:

South Bend, 10 October 2001
St. Louis, 28 November 2001

[DILETTANTE]

None. I'm a newbie. Think how much I have to look forward to!

 

[angel_28]

I really have too much to even start counting...

I had maybe 6 or 7 until after the Elevation tour, when I discovered the Hub. Then I pretty much downloaded and shared whatever I could get my grubby little hands on.

I was really anal about it, putting everything onto music CDs and printing out the cover art and CD labels, and filing them chronologically in shoe boxes.

Then I realized I had more than I even wanted (some were pretty bad recordings), so I ditched those, and now still have two shoeboxes full.

Now that I have an iPod and can listen to them in a non-music-CD format, I throw two MP3 shows onto a disc to keep, which works better because I can fit two shows onto a CD, instead of 2 CDs for one show.

I'm always willing to share with whomever's looking for something, but I don't put myself out there for trading, because 90% of what I have is MP3 sourced.

Let's see ... I have about 100, plus whatever's been put online from the current tour (I haven't updated my list yet). Yowza!

I also have a shitload.
Fact: Edge apparently has over 350 U2 bootlegs.

 

[corianderstem]

Ha! That's awesome.

Yeah I once tried to trade with edge, but he ripped me off!

Same here. Still waiting for my copy of Popmart Thessaloniki proshot.

 

[rastacruz]

It's bad enough The Edge has been to more shows than any of us, now he's hoarding all of these boots?

Ever since I purchased a U2 ipod, I have been a bunny in a sex house.

I'm going to hit 20 boots shortly (full shows).

I don't have any U2 boots, but I do have some from other bands. What I wonder is how often does everyone listen to them? I find I'll listen to each show once or maybe twice, but if it doesn't hold a special memory for me (or have something really funny or cool in it), that's pretty much it. Is that pretty much the case with most people, or am I weird?

It is fun to help newbies (to boot collecting) get started though...I'm one of the few people I know that doesn't require trades, especially for new people.

 

[U2girl]

14, and 5 DVDs.

 

[Jack In The Box]

30 or so, I don't have any of Vertigo Tour

I'm still hoping that will surface one day
