    I didn't join till Angel Of Harlem. I'm not a fan of periscope cause that camera is blocking someone else's view. I've been there and it sucks.

    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.

    just remember that equipment like this may very well not be allowed in the venue... don't jeopardize your show enjoyment (which should be the first priority)

    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.

    Here's another https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E1TMDVA/ref=psdc_7161074011_t1_B0055QYIY8

    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.

    it’s more than likely that the venue wouldn’t allow the use of a selfie stick... please don’t take any unnecessary risk...

    my advice on this: the priority is always that you enjoy the show... if you can stream, much appreciated and many thanks in advance, even if it’s just half a song...

    but if you feel tired or the wifi is crappy and it would be too expensive to use your mobile credit or even if you arrive there and decide to just enjoy the show... by all means, don’t broadcast... it’s entirely optional and everyone will survive if there isn’t any stream...

    good luck and enjoy the shows!!!

    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.

    Perhaps there were Europeans in America giving us the chance to see it when EI was in North America.  One never knows.  It's only recently I've realized how fortunate we are that someone does sacrifice for the greater good of U2 fans everywhere in the world. 

    That's somewhat doubtful, unless they enabled their phones for use in the US. I recall lots of the feeds came from US fans.

    Periscoping is not a given thing... it's very difficult, tiresome and even expensive... and when it relies on  the venue wifi, it can't be a guarantee...

    plus, and this is important, no one owes us any periscope nor stream... 

    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.

    Finally found a Periscope link to Landlady: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1vAxREvAbdXJl

    I've got to say, I wish U2 had done these setlist changes in the US. I'm heartbroken that I missed some of my favorite songs. If I could get tickets at face value to any of the European shows, I would seriously think about using up my FF miles to fly over. Landlady alone would make it worth the trip for me. Another song I've never heard in person is Summer of Love. Unforgettable Fire, Stay, Wild Horses and Even Better Than The Real Thing would be extra bonuses. I've heard those songs many times on their original and subsequent tours but not in a long time.

    A nice gift for the long-time members/subscribers would be a video of all the songs we missed, with soundboard-quality audio.

    I hope the comment from Willie Williams is correct. I hope they film the Berlin show -- and I hope they do every one of those songs we missed in the US on that night.
