I have been brainstorming ways to ethically raise funds so I can
survive my senior year of college and I've decided to sell my U2
videos that aren't getting watched anyway. So here they are, and it
is not easy to part with them. I'm selling them via silent auction
which means there will be no running up of the price by me, just make
me an offer (minimum of $10 for bootlegs and $5 for the released
videos) and the best one I get by midnight Seattle time (PST) on
Sunday, 10/25, will get the videos. I'm also donating at least 10%
(more if I make a lot) of what I make to World Vision, a Christian
hunger-relief organization that I'm involved with. The rest,
honestly, will go to pay bills and buy books for next quarter. There
is only one copy of each video listed, I'm not dubbing them and
selling multiple copies to rip people off.
A note on the descriptions: 'Pro' means multiple camera angles,
editing, and soundboard quality sound. 'Audience' usually means one
steady shot and poorer sound quality. The grading scale reflects
strictly the quality of the recording (how many generations away from
the original, sound, etc.) and not the band's performance or the
Television show's quality.
Please don't hesitate to ask questions of these videos before placing
your bid ([email protected]). Feel free to bid for as many as
you like and please include the video #, date, and title in with your
bid. Thanks...

from the R&H video. Rochester includes the beginning and three or
four songs into the show.

-MTV show-great, fantastic behind the scenes video of the JT tour.

great sound. Also, this is the last show of the Lovetown Tour and the
last show before ZOO TV.
