  1. Not many from UK sellers when I last looked. Or maybe I put a city name in with the search. Either way I’m not in the market any more.

    My collecting days are done.
  2. I think there were 12 or so shows that were bootlegged with wireless receivers on JT30, and then the 6 West Coast shows from May are bootlegged this year. We'll see if they covered any of the European shows. But in short, it's still a thriving and profitable business. And worthy of our scorn, in my opinion.
  3. They’ve got a good few with the cardboard sleeves on eBay, just type in u2 2018 cd. There’s:

    Amsterdam
    Milan
    2 Paris shows
    Berlin
    Cologne

    A couple of pages back BigGirl posted a picture of the last one, they’re all similar packaging. The same company have also done one of the Vegas shows too. Plenty out there.

    Broaden your search to "Rest of the world" and you'll find many more. On a quick search I've counted over 40 bootlegs being sold today, both from past and current (>2014) tours. But yeah, thankfully they have an ever-reducing market niche and I guess their business is not as profitable as in the 80s, 90s and early 00s.
  5. I just got a link last night to Ebay Spain, someone selling a 3 BD NTSC Multicam of Berlin 31.8/1.9, dunno if that's mine (which was a 1 BD PAL) and they butchered it with reencoding. Same seller offers tons of Boxes (big plastic standard boxes) with Audio and Video of U2. For said Berlin Multicam he wants 31,50€
    Dunno if any of my IEM/AUD Mixes ever ended on ebay, nerver looked for it (these IEMs of 2015 were never released on their own). I actually think I don't wanna know.

    I pretty much guess at least all the audios are 100% taken from the web uploads tapers did.

    Obviously in Spain and Italy, probably also France very often, Ebay lets you sell such things. If you would try listing these on Ebay Germany, you would get them kicked for 98%. (Same with trying to sell a promo disc on Ebay Germany, high chances the lsiting gets deleted.)

    Is there any other band with such a still huge silver bootlegging scene?
  6. Rolling Stones has huge silver bootlegging scene. Lots of crazy collectors that buy every release, regardless of quality. I know there's a ton of Zeppelin bootleg collectors, which is kind of funny to me considering no new releases.

    Yes. I've lost count of how many times I've flagged and reported these profiles:

    https://www.ebay.es/usr/spencer-records
    https://www.ebay.es/usr/bestshowsrecords
    https://www.ebay.es/usr/zelopan1
    https://www.ebay.es/usr/iosubb2
    https://www.ebay.es/usr/casablanca0021

    Their "available items" are a garden of theft and unlawfullness It's a disgrace that Southern Europe Ebay's allow this.
  8. Just noticed this now, but looks liket that bootleg cover photo isn't theirs (it's mine) and not from Inglewood as I wasn't there, but from Tulsa. What a shame.

    Unfortunately they will continue to appear, inevitably they will continue to do so and fortunately the band is still active for it. Try not to buy them. I share these images as information, I do not invite anyone to buy them.
