Do you think we will see U2 NFTs soon? Instead of an AB tour, some never-seen AB era photos as NFTs? NFTs as the next subscription gift?
Originally posted by Damonio123:nft was polluting? I think U2 was against actions that harm the environment or something like that, I'm sure they mentioned some of that in 2017 so it would be somewhat hypocritical

Originally posted by Release3:I really think Bono’s bike accident destroyed their momentum. They were KILLING the promo tour in Europe then were supposed to spend a week on Fallon then who knows what else. If they played EBW like they did on Jools or MTV European Music Awards, I think EBW, and SOI, become bigger than it was. There was just nothing done in the US because of the accident
Originally posted by deanallison:My random thought for the day. I was looking back at the u2 songs that have been played live so only original songs not covers and thinking which ones haven’t got either official, proshot or soundboard/IEM recordings and it really is a small list, not promising I haven’t missed a few but I can’t think of any.
Like a song
So cruel
Babyface
Crumbs from your table
Lucifers hands
Wave of sorrow
Ahimsa

Yeah if you count unofficial sounboards and specially IEMs*, it's pretty much every song except for those you listed... And Holy Joe
*counting IEMs is maybe unfair for this purpose since more often than not they're flawed recordings, therefore why not comparable to audience microphoned recordings. If we exclude IEMs the list grows quite a bit. It actually doubles: The Little Things, Wild Honey, Boy Falls From The Sky, Lucifer's Hands, Window In The Skies, North Star, Glastonbury and I might be forgetting some.

The little things has been released officially live. When you say not including IEM’s would you still include broadcasts and that sort of thing? I have to admit if it’s an IEM with counts in it I don’t keep it on my iTunes unless it’s a show I was at.

Yes because broadcasts/soundboards imply professional mixing and a certain degree of band's tolerance/approval. I'm not saying hoserama and many other IEM tapers aren't professionals - they sure are! But you get the point, it's audience members doing the recordings with their own means and equipment. And I don't care if the IEMs have counts / clicktrack or not, for me they belong to the same group as audience recordings done with aerial microphones.
I don't know any Little Things live recording that has been released?
