  1. Good morning,

    Don't know if this is the place to drop this, but I'll go for it anyway.....

    Is there any video footage of the legendary Point Depot show at New Years Eve 1989??
    Regards,

    Peter
  2. There's Streets:

  3. Am at work so can't do a detailed search. But, as far as I know there's very little other than the video already posted - which I'm assuming is all of Streets plus an incomplete I Will Follow? RTE's TV coverage that night cut to The Point at midnight for the opening of the U2 concert, and then (inexplicably!) didn't stick with the show. (Probably ended up broadcasting a midnight mass instead!) I have no idea if the whole show, or any of the other Point shows, were proshot, but to my knowledge while all are available as excellent audio bootlegs, there's no more video in circulation.
  4. Indeed, that's all that's ever surfaced.

    Sadly.
  5. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if there was any amateur footage in existence (like if somebody had smuggled in a video camera), it would've surfaced by now. The presence of a multi-camera crew on the New Year's Eve night seems totally OTT for 1 and a bit songs though, I find it very hard to believe that they didn't record the whole show!
  6. We need this DVD!!!
  7. I remember that night. It was broadcast on dutch radio. I recorded it on my cassetteplayer that night. I don't know if I still have it. But anyway I don't gave a cassetteplayer. Yes it was an incredible concert.
  8. Yeah.great Concert! I had it on tape Too...played many many many Times...and if i remember well they playd Spanish Eyes right?
  9. There's some in From The Sky Down too, pro-shot, so proof that it was filmed.

    Remember our project that never got of the ground, Sergio?
  10. im sure i read that the footage was floored or something, not worthy of a release???
  11. A few years back on St. Patricks night bbc 6 music said they were playing highlights of U2 from Dublin in '89. I recorded it (thinking it would be the NY gig) and it turned out to be songs recorded from the 26th Dec gig. Saw then in Paris on this tour and it was superb.
  12. One of the moments I love the most in any show I've ever heard, is the "Still Running" coda->Dirty Old Town->Times They Are A'changin'->opening bass line of New Year's Day sequence

    The Auld Lang Syne into Streets to open the show is also one of the best moments in any U2 show for me.
