I would just like to say a little something here. If ANYONE has been watchin
the alt.music.u2 newsgroups over the course of the past few months U will
notice that there are at LEAST 200 messages about this guy Chuck aka Redvett
and lemme tell ya ...they are NOT good messages. He ripped off a friend of
mine and what he does is trade for videos of low quality with other traders
and then he sells the copies for $16 each or 2 for $25. Im sorry but that is
a ripoff in itself. The only person I feel who has the justification to
charge that amount of money is the person who recorded it. Those are the
people that sacrificed sitting in the cold and holding up a camera for 2 hours
just to get us a copy of the shows. These are also the people who sacrificed
not being able to throughly enjoy the show as well..cause well..ya cant really
scream or cheer or clap if ya got a camera in your hand with a mic there
recordin audio..plus U gotta be careful to not get caught. So for all these
reasons I would be more than happy to pay said $15 or so for a show..but this
guy Chuck...he is NOT a fan but only in it for the money and U will find if U
do a dejanews search and type in Redvett or Chuckie or whats the problem with
redvett U will find endless posts against him and his practices. I tell U
this only because I dont want any fans to get ripped off and if this will help
just one less person go to him for tapes I feel I have done my part. On a
side note with Chuck if U post something he doesnt like he will take it out
personally on U and though he is on AOL..they have been contacted and know of
his dealings and we have been informed from aol that he will soon be banned
from the u2 newsgroups and possibly kicked off aol for threatening people and
slander. so please do NOT go to him for tapes...if U want good quality copies
of shows I suggest U go to Chris [email protected] he recorded ALOT of shows
on the tour and U can get 1st generation from him and at lower to the same
prices that redvett offers. I am not tryin to promote chris but he did record
most of these shows and it only makes sense to get tapes from the source...
just my thoughts....
Nico
