(Some of the "DVD dates" is incorrect, I know that)
If your looking for a great performance of Beautiful Day get the one from the 2nd Saitama Vertigo show. Bono holds 'TOOOUUUCCCCCHHH ME ' for as long as the Miss Sarajevo big note.
I don't suppose you could upload your compliations to the thread somehow, many new people and myself would appreciate it. It would be a great introduction to the bootlegs- the best of the best.
