  1. I am missing the following LOSSLESS shows for the compilation folders :

    2016-10-05 - Daly City
    2015-05-04 - New York (Jimmy Fallon / Tonight Show)

    It's a shame U2Start dropped its torrent option. And before you ask, these are NOT on U2Torrents, Dime, or Trader's Den, nor Guitars101.

    Thanks!

    Question : Acrobat has now been played ad-nauseam but doesn't appear anywhere here. Any preferred version?
    I’m interested!
  3. Hello very interested too thanks
  4. I'm almost done - Only missing FLAC / lossless version of 2016-10-05 - Daly City to complete it!

    On a side note, I feel like the 1997 MTV performance of Mofo belongs here, and I've also been looking for a lossless (possibly better quality than whats available here) version of that performance, if anyone has it. Thanks again!
    The original broadcast would have been lossy

    Then any video taping (back in the day) would add to that loss

    Further copying - that wasn't digital - would've added to the loss

    A recording of the original lossy audio made into a lossless file without further gen degradation would be super rare but still lossy

    So lossless doesn't always mean it's the best sounding recording because you have to have provenance as to its history

    So any rip from video, even an HQ file on YouTube, would be lossy?

    I’m trying to find audio rips of their 2017 BBC performance for example. I did one of the Paris 2015 from a TS file with Audacity and it’s quite good… but maybe there’s a better way to do it?
