It’s damn true.
So, if nothing else, I’d love an earlier-in-tour pro-shot release (Leeds or Rotterdam come to mind) that gets a nice visual remaster.
This.

Miami and Pop Mart Bullet had so much swagger & funk to them. Brilliant stuff.
Interesting. Thanks for that! (Even though they incorrectly attributed the producer of Unforgettable Fire and got the date of Rattle & Hum wrong).An interesting article from the time done by Sight & Sound which goes in to the production and recording of the album.

Whoops! As to the thread question.... I guess I don't want anything...?
The album is out there, as are its B-sides and remixes. So, we don't really need anything.
I still have my Pop! concert tee and still fits well. Luckily, I bought an XL even though i was an L at the time.
and they'll probably replay the mexico popmart show online for like a week before hiding it away again.
Actually, you're right -- early versions of the songs would be really interesting.??
You're possibly the only one here...
There's not one album to be so curious about the development of songs. Early versions are definately great to hear for me. Then, this album needs a great remaster with 5.1 mix. U2 seems to be the only band not to do these mixes. Looks like the band has no interest in polishing their music.
Though the version they put online last year _did_ look really nice.
For a band that was once so obsessed with being on the cutting edge sonically, they’re truly awful at being on the cutting edge with regards to online presence.
For example, why did the Virtual Road releases only contain 4 songs each? Why not just release the whole shows? It makes absolutely no sense.
At least leave them streaming on the website for fanclub members. Call it, like, an actual perk.
I highly doubt there's anything in their contract that would prevent that.I don't own very many movies digitally, but I would re-buy Red Rocks, Sydney and Mexico City at least. Or finally pay for fan club after all these years if there was a streaming section. Ditto additional unreleased shows from over the years. There's just oodles of passive income these dumb boys could not be paying taxes on that they seem pretty okay ignoring.
There's some part of me that thinks there must be a clause in their Live Nation contract that they can't "open the vaults" until they're incapable of touring or something like that. You can't really build a tour and market it around demos, rarities and OTHER live shows.

I am certain its down to the band and their incredibly high standards around what they see as being good enough to release to the public.
They maybe want to maintain these high standards and certainly not damage their reputation by releasing unfinished stuff and charging money for it, but that's not an argument anymore as they could just release anything they like digitally. Lots of musicians have said that the recording process is like watching paint dry and can't understand why fans would want to hear hours of unfinished stuff.
In my opinion they'd better work on polishing their catalogue rather than releasing mediocre pop-songs sounding like poor Elton John songs.
What do people think of the singles from Pop and how they were remixed. I think they sound so much better. Would be great if the whole album had sounded this way in the first place. Sonically they sound so much more interesting.
