Announcing our 2020 subscription offer : 'U2 eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE – LIVE IN BERLIN'

[OptimaX 5]

They’ve missed the boat. The 4K video is ‘out there’ already. They could have had my money for it, but they didn’t want me to be able to purchase it. Now that opportunity is lost. Did they really think the 4K version wasn’t going to find its way to the internet?

I did resubscribe in the end, just out of goodwill.

Don’t ask me where you can find a copy of the 4K show, I will ignore you.

A decent mobile app would be a start. Let members download with with a code and put up a live show recording every month from a classic period (Joshua Tree, War, Zoo Tv). That is just one idea. 

They designed one 9 years ago for the iPad by a design agency called BLITZ in Los Angeles, but that got cancelled when Live Nation came knocking.

Can the mods here contact U2 managements team, or can they pass something to someone who can? I was wondering if we should all write/sign a letter stating that we feel U2. Com could be(and should be) doing more for subscribers. Obviously in the current climate bands fan clubs don't really matter. However it would be great if by the end of the year they had something in place for 2021 where we receive more content. I think last year there were only 3 subscriber specials? now I know that was a touring year for the band but it's not like the band are the ones who actually produce the content themselves. It's just an idea. There's no point in complaining on forums and Facebook because it will get lost. But if we could actually build something collectively, maybe they will take notice.

That is the main reason Why I didn’t resubscribed this year: U2.com offer barely nothing to the fans for the money they pay.

I think a fair suggestion to start with would be having full song clips when they perform live instead of the 30 second ones we usually get. I don’t think that’s an unfair ask, they’re filming the song anyway why tease paying members with just a bit of it.

I haven't been shy in airing grievances here, and I empathize with what just has been written above - however, what the set actually looks like was covertly posted here.

If anyone would like a peek, take a look:

Exactly Dean. They literally film whole songs but choose to give us 30 second clips.

In recent years this site has had 100k plus paying subscribers. That's £4 million give or take. It's not like there's no income coming in to justify more/better content.

Yea I agree completely. 

I think people need to get the message to the band that they have lost their way with the fan club. We should be getting a lot more value for what we pay. I will say that the streaming of the E and I gig in 4k is a big plus and if the zoo tv gig is in hd or 4k then that does show that they are at least making some improvements.

The EI gig being streamed in 1080p would only have been a nice touch if it was available on demand forever. Having it only available on demand for a year is poor. After a year we'll be stuck with a 480p copy of a show that was filmed in 4k lol.

 

Zoo TV won't be in HD or 4K because it was filmed on VHS. You physically cannot upscale that.

Ah, that’s a little disappointing to hear; I guess the same would apply to PopMart as well.

Would the Elevation and Vertigo tours be able to be upscaled? I think they were shot in higher quality originally.
