Originally posted by digitizeForgive me, I'm new to bootlegging. What exactly is a pro-shot bootleg? Was it professionally filmed and put on TV?
Originally posted by deanallison:Bit of a bump here but it’s just to ask a question to those in the know. I’ve often mentioned that I hope the band release shows that were broadcast on tv as we know they have been filmed to a professional standard. However I know the band have access to lots of audio and video but would they have access to shows like vertigo São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Popmart Santiago, zoo tv Washington and actually one of my main examples zoo tv Basel? I mention Basel because that’s one of the weaker quality of the proshots but is it likely the band would have access to the footage and be able to turn it into something as good as official release quality? Basically wondering as well if something broadcast on tv is the tv stations property or the bands to use?

Mexico 97,Sydney 93,Paris 2015 were all broadcast Live on TV and were then officially released so yeah they probably do own the footage and could use it .

I wonder if they could be different arrangements though. With they shows it seems like the band always planned on releasing them and likely would have had their own full production, with the shows that haven’t been released and weren’t planned to be released at the time at least are the tv companies more involved with the filming and therefore own that coverage or is that all the bands team on the camera work and they are essentially giving the tv company the footage to broadcast? It would be good to know the ins and outs of how a u2 show like one of the ones I mentioned ends up on tv in terms of any financial terms and who approaches who etc. I do suspect the same as you though that the footage is there in the vaults and could be used but I just wonder if there is such a thing as footage that wasn’t really done by the band. I guess Glastonbury is an example, I know that’s not just a u2 show but it is footage of the band that I assume the bbc own and the band would need permission to use rather than just being able to release.
