Hellooo hellooo!

Hola!

@bigwave @Max Tsukino @mich40 , the original "social distancing" thread will become active again after the "Vertigo" festivities today, won't it? I see that someone has closed it to further replies.

The thinking may have been not to have two threads going at once today, and that makes sense (however, I always found bouncing between two threads to be a bit fun in the past, but, then again, I am occasionally overly easily entertained); however, that original thread still has a purpose to serve, and I think I can speak for most/all who participate in that thread that we would still like to be able to post there.

Thanks in advance!

As it was discussed last week, the thread has gotten quite long and difficult to navigate through the different viewings in it; so for obvious reasons, it was best to start this fresh new thread for today. Perhaps after today, we can discuss whether to reopen, merge the two, or proclaim this the new one.

Right - I have no problem with a new thread for today. That I get.

However, after the stream leaves the site Monday night, this is the thread that would not have a reason to continue existing. I offered to make a table of contents for the original one, and that offer still stands. I hope we keep that one alive - a lot of love went into that thread, and it hasn't given all it can still give.

Pretty please with sugar on it... 🙏

Let’s focus on today for now...

...there will be an additional thread today, though, in the subscribers’ threads for our bonus after party viewing. More to come on that...

I'm not sure I can make the extra part today, but I'm glad the site is showing it.

Vertigo for today is fine; U2 shows, and discussions on them, will live on long afterwards... ✊

I completely agree with that!

Thank you! 😊 I hope it lives on after the Vertigo streaming.

But, let’s celebrate the Chicago concert today. 😎 Just an hour away now...

There haven't been any claims saying so in advance, but, if this Vertigo stream turns out to be an upscaled one in HD, could someone please post verifiable evidence of that? The Berlin show definitely went out in HD back in March, there was conflicting testimony about the Sydney show stream, and the Slane show confusingly was streaming at lower than DVD-quality. (Were there any other shows streamed by the site? I only remember those three; the rest we watched together on our own.)

Thanks in advance!
