Request for Moncton Stream on U2.com

[corianderstem]

So this is going on over at the U2.com forums.

Principle Management tells fans to fax Moncton Stream request!!!!!! (title edited) - General Forum - Free Forum - U2 Community - Message Board

I'm guessing it's in the free forum section, as I'm not logged in and I could view it, but just in case ....

someone called Principle Management about the possibility of a stream:

"I just got off the phone with Michelle at Principle Management in New York. She said that the best way for our voices to be heard would be to present our requests to their office via fax as soon as possible."

New York office: 212-765-2372
Dublin office: +353 (01) 6777 276

Re: Moncton epicness

Dear lovely folks at Principle Management. You would make a lot of U2 fans extremely happy if you streamed the Moncton show.

What a band, what a tour. We're all sad to see it end. Help us celebrate The Claw's farewell with a stream.

Thank you!

I figure it's worth a shot.

Hey! they won´t play any surprises if the concert is streamed!!

 

[corianderstem]

No, that just happens if it's filmed for DVD release.

 

[Billy Rotten]

Signed!

Oh man, the movement for this to happen is huge. I've been spreading the word on Twitter:

Fans are faxing Principle Management requesting U2.com stream of #U2360MON tour finale - Petition: U2.com subscriber audio broadcast for Moncton! - All About U2 - Free Forum - U2 Community - Message Board Principle Management tells fans to fax Moncton Stream request!!!!!! (title edited) - General Forum - Free Forum - U2 Community - Message Board

I also wrote a request:

I hope they get an overwhelming number of requests - many fans want a live stream from Saturday's tour finale, and I'm really hoping we get one - I mean, it's the last show of this amazing tour. Thank you for starting the petition, many fans have also been requesting through Twitter but I see sending a fax to Principle Management will get their attention. Fingers crossed!

It seems faxing is the way to go, even with the overwhelming number of tweets, mostly retweeting this tweet:

Hey @u2com We want an official broadcast from the last concert #U2360MON

Fingers crossed (though shouldn't this have been done last week or last weekend?)

 

[waynetravis]

Stream open to everyone, not just subscribers would be nice

 

[Galeongirl]

I'm retweeting it, as I've no clue how I'd have to fax.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

No, that just happens if it's filmed for DVD release.

so maybe we should fax them a request to make a dvd then?

 

[corianderstem]

No, I was saying if they're filming a DVD, they're not going to do anything different or special. And if they'll also probably be tense and weird.

So, no. Please do not ask them to make a DVD of this show.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

Sorry, i just texted Paul McGuinness and asked for a DVD. I stated the case that he could make lots of $$$ if they put out another 360 DVD....i believe he's giving it some consideration over a "few" drinks

 

[bono_man2002]

That'd be right. U2 the only band left in the world that still operates the fax!

 

[angel_28]

signed!..I will try and fax tomorrow at work..I hope this works

 

[subnet]

heck, even ONE.org doesn't ask to join hands in a mass fax effort.

but i'm down for a live stream of course.

 

[prbiker15]

One of the Zootopia mods have redirected the stream requests for Saturday's show to a new hashtag - #U2360FAX

Someone sent six faxes to Principle Management. Huge movement so far.

I can feel the love!

 

[Galeongirl]

We should have them do a special setlist AND have them stream it AND have them make a new 360 dvd out of it.

 

[digitize]

U2 should recruit one of us to help them design a setlist to end the tour based on the current setlist. I would do something (quasi-realistic) like:

1) Even Better Than The Real Thing
2) The Fly
3) Mysterious Ways
4) Until The End Of The World
5) New Year's Day
6) Get On Your Boots
7) Magnificent
8) I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
9) All I Want Is You
10) One Tree Hill
11) Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
12) North Star
13) Beautiful Day
14) Elevation
15) Pride (In The Name Of Love)
16) Miss Sarajevo
17) Zooropa
18) City Of Blinding Lights
19) Vertigo
20) I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight / Discothèque (snippet)
21) Sunday Bloody Sunday
22) Scarlet
23) Walk On
--encore break--
24) One / Hear Us Coming (snippet)
25) Hallelujah (snippet) / Where The Streets Have No Name
--encore break--
26) Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
27) Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
28) With or Without You / Shine Like Stars (snippet)
29) Moment of Surrender
30) Bad / Several (snippet) / Snippets (snippet)

Not so unrealistic...

I approve - badly. North Star should be full band, though. And don't forget "40" after Bad!

Wouldn't this be their longest concert ever?

 

[JoRu]

I like the setlist. I seriously doubt they'll play somewhere near 30 songs, though. It'll be closer to a 3 hour show with so many songs. 25-26 songs would make more sense.

 

[prbiker15]

I'm starting to doubt we'll get a stream for tomorrow's show, as we have heard nothing from Principle Management or U2.com but you can't say we tried. The movement has been huge. I'm sure if network coverage doesn't crash we'll get an amateur stream.

Oh, and I can't believe Principle Management still use fax machines.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

i can believe it

 

[EdgeFest]

Well, that was a big waste of time. I hopez we brokez their faxez machinez.

 

[bono_man2002]

They probably turned them off with the rest of the world in 1874.

Although this is U2 we're talkin' 'bout.

 

[Galeongirl]

A nice subtle No would've been better than this total ignorance.
