Just As If You Were There!

Hey there:

It has taken me longer than expected to get my video from the U2 concert edited. I had quite a challenge to edit down almost an hour of footage to just seven minutes. I started thinking that it really isn't fair that most of you didn't get to go to this amazing concert. So I have gone above and beyond the call of duty to give you as close to the same experience as I had.

I took the unedited audio from my camera and created MP3 files that you can download and do with as you wish! Before your gratitude begins to overflow, there are some things you should keep in mind.



Video:

• The size of the video is about 28.1 mb so it's going to take a while to download. For some reason I haven't been able to the video to stream. Meaning it won't allow you to watch while it loads, it loads the whole thing first and then plays. SO that means you have to be patient and just wait.
• I did the best I could with the videography! I am a little shorter than the average male, so it was hard to get the best shots, but they are adequate.
• The video is not the whole concert, and it isn't even the highlights. This video represents the best sounding and looking shots I had.

Audio:

• It's the complete audio of what I recorded, not of the complete concert. There will some really good songs that will just end...I know it's frustrating, but I didn't think I was going to do the MP3's while I was video recording.
• Sound distortion...the system they had was powerful, and the small little mic on the video camera had a hard time capturing it all.

With all that in mind go to the following links to experience the concert yourself. It truly was an awesome experience.

On another note, I would like to say that the new album is amazing. There is a pretty good review on my friend's blog. You can read it here! The thing that stands out to me so far is the way Edge plays the guitar on this album. It is amazing. There are a couple of measures at 2:24 - 2:34 on the song "All Because of You" that Edge is just amazing. I encourage you get the album it's awesome.

I believe that's all, enjoy the video and audio...any comments on what you see or hear are welcomed!

PS: The "Borrowed Equipment" and "BarnYard" files on the audio page are from various performances of the band I was in during college. You may download, and laugh if you wish...just remember we were in COLLEGE!
