Sell outs or variety? I go for the latter. Hmv here always do all 3 for 6 quid which is decent
Same here. I just find it kinda funny that people accuse the band as being sell outs for the remasters but never lose a word on the various single releases.

A single is only 2 quid tho. I just think its an attempt to get to number 1. Stay was their first attempt at it. They badly wanted that number 1
i agree....please note that this may be ridiculous..but:
The Fly Live from Boston (considering its the best part of the entire DVD)
also noted....i do not have such DVD in my collection, meaning that i who live in boston, does not own the DVD.
Slane's not top shabby either
Meh, I dunno, I'm just not too hot on the Elevation versions of the Fly. No doubt I'll get shot down lol, but it just, well...it just doesn't hit off for me like the ZooTV versions do. The more I think about it, the more I think that the album version was the best one, and it's not often I say that. I love the ZooTV versions because they were of a similar vein to the album version (not really a surprise though), and the Vertigo versions were pretty, erm, what's the word Jake sometimes uses..."badass" (although I wish Edge had used a proper guitar as opposed to the Line 6 Variax , just on a purely aesthetic level) but the Elevation versions just miss something. The solo is pretty mad but it's just a higher key...my favourite part of the Boston DVD (and, on that note, pretty much all Elevation shows) is UTEOTW and Streets, plus the odd moments when they'd play IALW and EBTTRT. Beautiful Day from the Boston DVD is pretty good though, and New York...

I see what you miss... the distortion. IMO it was perfected during the 5th leg. Listen to the Adelaide show with the Fly, the guitar intro effects/distortion is played nearly identical to the studio. Something I didn't really find until that show. Something I can't seem to find on any other show. As for the Elevation version, I see where you're coming from. Some fans here don't really get into the live scene. I've been in it for a while, so I usually am divided between the two. Regarding the Elevation version of the Fly, it shouldve been recorded in the studio and released as a single during summer 2001. With Bono using the same lyrics from the Boston show. My guess, it probably could have charted. I'm a singer, so naturally I go with whatever lyrically sounds superb. I also do love wailing, distorted guitar as much as any guitar guru too. The chorus from the Fly is one of my all time favs. When Bono is singing, "Love, shine like a burning star, etc.", to me it captures the moment, what Elevation kinda was about. The heart shaped ring around the stage, the intimate shows, and so on. Then when Edge starts the guitar up into full gear there's just this shot of adrenaline.
Also, Bono does NOT play guitar on the Elevation version. Is that whats missing?
I don't have any HD nor BluRay reader yet but if Under A Blood Red Sky surfaces on any of those new formats my family will be surely acquiring one BR player (at my command of course )... It must be freaking great, to see a 25 years old video with a new stunning quality

Nah, it's not a lack of distortion, any song Edge plays on the LP has an element of distortion somewhere lol (and yes, even IALW! ). I've got nothing wrong with Bono playing guitar, apart from when it goes tits-up lol (check One on the Chicago DVD - THAT'S distortion and not in a good way lol...). I'm listening to the Adelaide show now on your recommendation...it doesn't ring out as being like the album version to me, but again there's perception for you.
My favourite version from the Vertigo tour is from the 1st leg, Boston 2005-05-28 (not to mention it's one of the best shows from the whole tour too ), you really get a feel for what it must have been like to be in the Fleet Centre at the time aswell as it being the lead for the greatest Vertigo encore that there was - now, if THAT had been the main DVD for the Vertigo tour, I wouldn't have complained in the slightest

"We seem to be walking this line, and whenever we cross it either way it's a long way down, on either side, to fall. And I don't know how we're still there, but it takes it all away to talk about it too much."
- Bono
But that release was great: cool packaging, great b-sides, amazing video.
