Subscriber sukhjitkamal Posted March 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi all, after speaking to fellow fans, we thought it would be a good idea to have a dedicated thread in one place to list all of our ideas for future subscriber gifts and subscriber specials. In the past the mod team have asked us what the fans would like to see, so having all our ideas in one place would be a good idea. The purpose of this thread is to provide constructive and realistic ideas and suggestions. I'll go first. Subscribers Special - Pro Shot footage of a live song performance - once per month Using The Joshua Tree Tour 2019 as an example we can see that U2's social media team uploads short pro shot footage clips of songs from shows onto their social media channels. These clips are normally around 30 seconds long. It has been rumoured that U2 have recorded all their shows since ZOO TV, and their pro shot clips on social media and U2.com seem to back this up. It would be great if once a month we received as a subscriber special a full length pro shot clip of a song being performed live. For example, there is a 1 minute pro shot clip of Bad being performed live in India. It would be great if we had access to the full song. It doesn't matter if its not up to DVD quality, fans would still appreciate it. Another suggestion is to receive pro shot footage of Red Flag Day, American Soul and Love Is All We Have Left, as these were SOE songs performed on EI, but weren't on the official DVD release. Subscribers Gift - Live ZOO TV 1992 Audio Recording / film Next year marks 30 years since ZOO TV and fans would love to mark the occasion by receiving an audio recording or film from a 1992 indoor show. The official tour DVD from Sydney was filmed in the last leg, and because of this it didn't include Acthung Baby songs such as Ultraviolet and Wild Horses. Tryin To Throw Your Arms Around The World was cut. Releasing a show from 92 means that fans would have access to both the AB and Zooropa legs of the tour. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber cgmorgan777 Posted March 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 1, 2021 I think this is an awesome idea! I would love to have the Berlin show that was put out on dvd for subscribers in audio format as a gift in he future. I would also love live at red rocks released on audio format as a gift sometime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed we do get something from the ZOO TV Indoor leg from 92 this year on top of the subscribers gift and that they don't just offer another live stream of the Sydney show or similar which has already been released.

Subscriber cgmorgan777 Posted March 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 1, 2021 Would love something from 1992 and here’s hoping a full recording of something from 1984 or 1985. They could release a concert from the unforgettable fire tour on vinyl and digital download. Same way they did with the concert from the marquee.

Subscriber Caruso65 Posted March 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 1, 2021 Yes a full audio of a 1992 Zoo TV would be my first choice for the next subscriber gift, but please continue the live format releases, preferably audio format, CD, downloads, I will always renew my subscription for live audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CorkVegan Posted March 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 1, 2021 Previously unreleased live material from all eras of U2's career would be my wish. Complete concerts if possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CraigFairlie Posted March 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I dont have a problem with the content as such, the issue i have, personally is the format. CDs? It's 2021. think it should be on Vinyl. I'd be happy to pay say $70 per year, instead of $40, to make sure it's vinyl. The 2015 gift was on vinyl. 2017 was on vinyl. 2021 is on CD...

Subscriber Drum4JC Posted March 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 1, 2021 Obviously unreleased music is high on the list. I’ve enjoyed the live sets and the vinyl special editions too. But I think the books and memorabilia would be good at this point. Maybe a package of a book, with pins, guitar picks, drum sticks and other interesting tidbits would be really cool.

Subscriber RobAneurysm Posted March 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 1, 2021 A CD box set of all the Dublin shows from December 1989 at the Point would be nice, all were pro recorded. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
