They could donate all the profits of it to charity if they think it looks like a money grab.
A 'Live (RE)cor(D)ing' perhaps? Everyone's a winner, makes perfect sense.

Out of curiosity... for those that do this consistently and are "great quality", how long does it take for them to get sent out/posted or whatever? I've heard some cases where these are put out immediately after a show, and maybe that explains the difference there?
I'm not sure why you are so hung up on the compulsory license requirements, every artist like Bruce has a team in place to handle such details.
Just reading through all this now.
First of all, I really wish all big U2 fans had made it in. The celebs (I didn't personally see any) were there for the novelty. Freaking Ron Jeremy was there. You guys should have been there over people like that.
For the rest of it: This band is called U2. You know how U2 GA works? There are lines. They are usually run well. To expect anything else? "But the rules said no lining up before 5:30!" Really? You guys on the forum are gonna go with that? Only three people caused any sort of problem yesterday. The first two walked around the Roxy twice figuring out how they could sneak in the back. Once they realized they couldn't, they got in line, and being right behind me at the show, they told me how happy they were and how thankful that there was a list that held their spots while they could go and eat beforehand. The other guy showed up at 6 and demanded to go to the front. The sheriff's deputies sent him back.
You guys love that Sil was streaming the show? You want to know how she had her great spot? She came early like me, and helped me run the line. Neither of us has run a line on this tour, and she has never run a line before. So no, not the regulars.
No one in line complained. Everyone thought it went great; at least everyone who showed up at 5:45 or earlier. And you want to know why U2 fans are comfortable lining up? Because they don't want to hurt each others feelings by a mad dash.

Well, she didn't have to be in the front row to stream it, so we don't have to thank the line for that.
I know, I know. The line thing will just always get me all annoyed. But hey, I know a lot of people love it and they have fun, and they make it work. Just because I don't dig the lining up doesn't mean I don't dig a lot of the people.
All praise our Lord and saviour Romi, guys. How would people have got to the show without him? Thank GOD, someone was there for us to run the line.
Those of us who line up are the ones who believe entry should be on first come-first in.
actually, the fans who think they are more important or special are the ones who show up when doors open or when an official time is listed, and still expect to be in the front.

Well yeah, because you can afford to line up ridiculously early. Over and over again. Doesn't make those who can't do that lesser fans.
*which would have been fine with me too. Like I said, I really don't care. I was there, that's all that mattered.
You make these comments not even knowing how we did it. Absolutely no one had to be there. There were no check-ins, no time restrictions. All you had to do was give a name, your friend's name, and leave until 5:30. .
The more I think about it, the more I think it's really cool that they did this show. I watched some pretty positive press coverage on this, and I think it could do a lot to help U2's image if they show themselves without the bombast, just playing some really awesome songs from throughout their career. I love the bombast of the normal tours, but sprinkling in just a few more dates like the could be a great idea. And they certainly are fun for those of us behind the keyboard.

It is, isn't it? They should do this stuff more often! Just could do without Stuck in a Moment.The more I think about it, the more I think it's really cool that they did this show.

Seriously? So stop by the place in the morning and tell someone who has nothing to do with the band/venue/radio station your name, return 8 hours or whatever later and get at the front of the line...and you don't see how that bothers folks?

So let me get this straight. You think people who show up an hour beforehand and want to get to the front are self-important and spoiled, but if you show up for 5 minutes early on in the day, put your name on some unofficial list, then go take a nap for the rest of the day until doors open, you get to go to the front no problem?
