Which creators? Adam, Larry, Edge and Bono? I doubt they get to see a cent of anything that WV makes out of selling their shows.

it's probably something to do with it being 25 years old - if you look at people like r.e.m, springsteen etc there are a lot of live recordings receiving semi-legitimate releases that were originally recorded for radio broadcast as this u2 gig probably was but never received.
Plus if you look at wofgang's vault you'll see that certainly in the cases of artists of the stature of u2, springsteen, sting, etc there are very few, maybe not even any recordings from the 90's onwards despite there definitely in sting's case being a number of gigs broadcast across the u.s. radio networks.

"our record company was demanding our cooperation in controlling bootleg recordings of our show. What they didn't understand was that unlicensed recordings were being made by promoters as well as fans. Bill graham recorded almost all of them, often using an on-site studio. Bob pridden, our soundman, sometimes found pins inserted into stage cables leading off to makeshift recording bays. I don't think any of us in the band knew or cared what might happen to all this music fifty years on. Graham knew it was imprtant though he even discreetly filmed certain concerts".
