Yep--too rich for my blood too. I'd rather spend $50,000 on concert gear and tickets over a 5 year window.

I don't like to discuss his last tour, due to the circumstances. In fact, this is my first public online comment regarding the tour in any way, shape or form since his death. It's great you have that recording, and you're free to be the only one to ever have it, or free to let the recording go into the community as well...that's your choice. To me, 2016 is not among his 15 best years on the road. Not terrible, but just piano threw me off a bit. A shame that he was in so much pain that he could not play the guitar. If you have those shows in soundboards, I don't recall them circulating, so people I know would pay you for sure. Oh well.
Now if you had soundboards or pro shots of specific shows that are not circulating from 1981 to 1989, 2002-2004, we would need to talk with or without a Jedi Mind Trick. There are a small amount of holy grail recordings from 1980, 1990-2001, and 2005-2014 or so, but he was very inconsistent, and some tours were just plain mediocre at best. He was the best to ever do it live, but also the most inconsistent. U2 are much more consistent, and their Super Bowl show was better than Prince's. Most Prince fans would never admit that. I'm just being honest. Just like most U2 fans would never say Prince's 1987 tour is better than U2's excellent JT Tour, but I do. Prince was on another level.
What was the official topic here? El Paso? If somebody has this in full, I'd love to have another Pro Shot Zoo Tv show. Let the leakers leak.

Originally posted by hoserama:There are SO MANY great U2 recordings FOR FREE from over the years that I find a hard time gaining sympathy for folks complaining there isn't more. Especially if you put no effort in taping, mixing, production, or just contributing in general.
Yes, there's always the desire to have more and some frustration that you don't have access to everything...but deal with it instead of harping on people.

Yeah, not everybody has the financial, physical, geographical and temporal condition to be out there taping the artists they love. But whatever, this discussion will lead to nowhere

Notice I didn't say just taping.
In any case, enjoy the free recordings is my main point.
