    Are there only five of us online?

    I don't find it terribly different than people taking photos (or filming for later viewing on Youtube) through the whole show. At least the video streamers tend to be quiet. It can be much worse if someone talks through the whole show, especially during the slow, quiet songs. I see it more as an act for the greater good. Legions of fans can't go to Asia to see the shows. The mobile phone may block one fan's view, and that fan can generally move slightly. If the Periscoper is in the upper tiers, he/she can hold the phone low so it doesn't block anyone's view. Meanwhile, hundreds if not thousands get to see the show. It's probably toughest on the person doing the 'scoping. God bless those who are willing to do it. I don't know if there's any sort of strap or device that one can get to hold it in place so one doesn't have to hold it. Obviously, It would be best if U2 would consider streaming one of the shows as a gift to all the fans who can't travel to Oceania and Asia. Maybe if we beg and plead hard enough via petition we could get India streamed. U2 might worry about the quality of the feed, but none of us care about that.

    I joined mid-concert and listened to the audio feed. Were there only sporadic video feeds? I spotted this one and Where the Streets Have No Name. Were there any others?

    I hope Landlady makes it back into the setlist.

    I am the last living human who does not have a smart phone, so I can't do anything. ? But I deeply appreciate the efforts of those who can, especially when I am unable make it to a show that I desperately want to see -- such as the Apollo U2 event. I don't know how that person did it, but I am eternally grateful. p.s. - Based on what I'm seeing in these photos, these crazy devices appear to be quite small and undetectable.

    And more stuff https://www.wired.com/2016/01/best-gear-accessories-for-periscope/ I was wondering how someone live streamed an entire Radiohead concert from close to the stage, and I suspect they must have used one of these devices. Of course, some may remember that the final MSG I+E show had a fantastic Periscope feed. This person apparently went with an extra battery pack and had a seat to the side of the stage. A friend of mine who couldn't go to the show found it. He sent me the link, and I checked out the feed after I got home. I saw the show better on Periscope than I did when I was there. Too bad the video vanished after 24 hours.

    I just Googled camera extension devices. How about something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Looxcie-LX2-Wearable-iPhone-Android/dp/B0055QYIY8 Looks like it is discontinued, but there's probably another one out there.

    All of this is true. My point was merely that it is disappointing. US fans sacrificed all of the above to help thousands of fans who could not be at the shows, and I, for one, want to thank every single one of them. I am also a Radiohead fan, and I want to thank whoever gave us the most remarkable feeds during the end of their US tour. One person got one of those shows on one feed from a great vantage point, and it was a blessing for those of who desperately wanted to be there but could not go. Remember, the Periscope feed is also a special keepsake for the person who films it. The feeds no longer disappear after 24 hours. One can go back and watch them time and time again and reminisce, just as other fans do. Like many folks in this forum, I was heartbroken that I was unable to get tickets to see U2 at the Apollo. But that Periscope feed made me feel I was there to share in the experience. Words cannot express how grateful I am to that person.
  12. burgundy
    That's somewhat doubtful, unless they enabled their phones for use in the US. I recall lots of the feeds came from US fans.

    At last - Periscope! https://www.pscp.tv/pamshair/1ZkJzNYvegaJv
  14. burgundy
    Yes - it may not be possible. There was a spotty feed early. At least there's a great audio feed. That's definitely something to be grateful for.
  15. burgundy
    Not to be disrespectful, but that's stating the obvious. It's still a disappointment, especially when US fans gave all the Europeans a chance to watch the shows.
  16. burgundy
    It has been a big disappointment that the European audiences have not been as reliable with Periscope feeds as the US audiences were.
  17. burgundy
    None but a terrible one so far -- and it ended.
  18. burgundy
    Using the search bar on Twitter is often better to look for Periscope feeds. You hit the "latest" button, and it gives you the most recent feeds.
  19. burgundy
    I found this Periscope feed on Twitter, but mercifully, it ended. It was spotty. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1BdGYoqXvDNxX
  20. burgundy
    I'm sorry - what does that mean?
  21. burgundy
    Didn't work well for me. It kept cutting out.
  22. burgundy
    That is rarely if ever a helpful link. It doesn't list the latest feed on top.
  23. burgundy
    Any Periscope feeds?
  24. burgundy
    Thanks, but the lowest priced tickets are more than $250 USD after service charges. I would need GA or less expensive seats. Plus, those dates would be awfully tough for me.
  25. burgundy
    Thanks! Much better than the Periscope feed.
