Title: U2 Innocence and Experience Live in Paris DVD superthread
Post by: miryclay on May 08, 2016, 02:05:20 PM
Anyone else really looking forward to this? The 360 Super Deluxe is basically my most prized item.

I also went to Canadian Music Week last night and spoke to the EODM lead singer and he said they are on the DVD. He is either in the know and has signed off or maybe he was referencing that they were there. Either way it should be great.

Yes, I am.  What month and year is the release expected?

I wonder if the USB in the big box will have the full concert audio? I'll be sad if that's the only way to get it, but such is the state of things in 2016.

For the first time in a while, I went over to the @U2 forum to see if there was any info about this release.  It does not appear this release is officially confirmed yet . . . . although I admit I did not read every post.  It appears people are speculating a June 2016 release date.

Nice find:)
Aparat from missing Ordinary Love (06.12 which we kind of have) & Sweetest Thing (11.11 cut from the leak) still looks like the MOST complete ever U2 tour DVD!

The doc looks interesting at over one hour. The Troubles could be either a live video or an unreleased video. Most of the other stuff we have already seen. They seem hell-bent on keeping continuity intact for the main show.

I am glad they released The Wanderer on the set. Hopefully it will be a strait studio shot and not some far removed live montage.

So the Paris attacks happened on Friday the 13th and now it is announced on Friday the 13th? What the....? #arcanefactoid

Ok, the whole crazy list of different versions has now been released.
http://www.u2songs.com/news/innocence_experience_live_in_paris

I still wonder what's on the USB in the super deluxe set. Audio? Video? Or maybe it's just an empty lightbulb-shaped USB.

I actually own one of those USB lights they are great for reading. As for putting media on it, it is a great idea for up and coming bands. Easy to produce and collectable. This set is fairly comprehensive but  I think the Super Deluxe is just a little overpriced. The doc should be good and I will bet anyone on the forum that 'The Troubles' is live from Vancouver. Overall, great care and great content.

Of course you're right about the USB. I was thinking it's a USB drive with content on it, shaped like a light bulb, but yes, it will be an ACTUAL light bulb that plugs into a USB port. Kind of cool, but I still wish there was an audio-only component of this massive release!

Mixed feelings about this announcement.

I love the Blu-Ray/DVD version. A full concert with no cut songs -- or oddly placed bonus (Hello, Breathe, Mysterious Ways, Tryin' to Throw Your Arms...). The bonus content is quite good and I appreciate that we will be able to have all the videos from the era in one single-disc. (BTW: I am quite sure that The Wanderer will just be the intermission video featured in the US leg. Will be happy to be proven wrong though).

However, the Superdeluxe Version... Quite pointless and silly. The other major deluxe editions offered something more intriguing (Linear DVD/Soon 7'). Now, it's just stencils, pins and a light bulb? Maybe I am just getting old and grupmy, but I can hardly justify spending more USD 100 on it. For the first time in ages, I haven't order this one on the first day -- went to the Blu-Ray.

(Yes, I know nobody forces me to buy it, but as a collector it's a strange feeling being not remotely interested about the deluxe version).

My birthday is on Monday and I asked my wife for the Blu-Ray version, which has everything I want in terms of content. I'll have to live without the USB light bulb.

Here is the burlesque style unboxing.

This is for sure one of U2's greatest collectable items. But that being said, it does fall short in a couple of areas. The stencils and stuff could have been a bit more 'less throwaway'. Also, the omission of the documentary doesn't really offer close watching fans much except things already available. Plenty of happened in U2 world in 2015 and it would have made interesting study. One could easily fill an hour speaking about the tour tragedies and triumphs and the Paris events.

I got the exact same message. Immediately cancelled my order and reordered the deluxe set from Amazon USA. $20 more but at least it's being prepared for shipping currently, with a projected arrival date of Wednesday.

Couple of notes...

For those ordering from Amazon.ca - if HMV is close to you in Canada, you can go into stores and pick up the release for cheaper than Amazon had it at the low point.  I bought mine in store for $129 Canadian. 

As for the documentary I'm told they want to save it for something else.  I expect where Guggenheim is involved he wants to premiere it at some film fest or another as he did with From the Sky Down and It Might Get Loud, instead of it just being an extra on a dvd.

I got the single Blu-ray for my birthday as requested! (And Aaron, don't get me started on what the U2songs community could get me... I'm sure the accumulated swag here is truly mind-boggling!) Now I just need to find time to sit down and watch.

I like the little glossy picture booklet that comes with the Blu-ray, very cool.

From the back of the packaging, it looks like the bonus videos (Invisible, Ordinary Love, etc. etc.) are all a single track at the end. Is that right? Track 9 technically has seven different videos. I wonder why they didn't separate them? It's like the acoustic sessions all over again!

Just send the following message to U2 shop:

Where's my order?
In my opinion it's absolutely ridiculous to place a pre-order (a month before its release date) when the object I have ordered is still not in my posession,
I have ordered the super deluxe edition + t-shirt and I have received the t-shirt last Tuesday, but still no sign of the super deluxe edition.
I could have gone to my local record store last Friday and picked it up easily,
My confidence in your store is seriously doubtful... As a long time U2 fan I think it's an insult to keep fans waiting for an order to arrive longer than a week after its release date.
IMO: Last time I've ordered at U2.com!
Greetings, Bob

Browsing through various U2 forums from different websites: they all confirm the same thing:
The U2 shop webshop is failing...
People receive the t-shirt but no box, people receive the box but no t-shirt. IMO It's ridiculous when it comes to customer satisfaction!

So after the odd notice about my order arriving a month from now, it actually showed up a couple of days ago, so that was nice.

However, I am VERY disappointed with the blu-ray packaging.  Why is the 2xDVD packaging so much nicer when the content and price is identical to the Blu-ray?  Also, though the content of the booklets are the same, the Blu-ray booklet is actually worse because all of the pictures are cropped, and for a couple of images this really makes a difference as the composition is terrible!  And lastly, there's no peel-back sticker.  It just looks ugly sitting next to all their other really nicely packaged DVDs.

Maybe you can have my booklet from my 2 DVD version.  I plan on buying the 2 DVD version in the future . . . . . maybe August or September.  When my 2 DVD version arrives, I will look at my booklet and decide if I want to keep it.  If I decide I don't want to keep the booklet, I can mail it to you (if you want it).  Ultimately, the most important thing to me is the content on the DVDs.

I got the 2-dvd version. The last page of the booklet is solidly glued to the inside of the front cover so it cannot be removed.

That's ok.  If I end up deciding to give away the booklet, I will send the case/box that is attached to the booklet.  In that situation, I would keep only the 2 DVDs.

I mentioned it here on the forum about a year-and-a-half ago (I don't expect anybody to remember because it's not important).  Back then, I took all my CDs and DVDs and placed them into several disc albums (bought from Target, they are like photo albums except the discs go into slots instead of photos).  I kept all my CD booklets and most of my DVD inserts/booklets.  I donated all my CD jewel cases and the DVD cases.  For cardboard-type Special Edition cases, I recycled the cardboard and disposed of anything that could not be recycled.  I am free from that need to collect everything in pristine condition.  I'm mostly interested in the content on the CDs and DVDs.

I finally bought the 2-DVD version and played parts of it last night.  For Disc 1 . . . . the concert . . . . . in the Set-Up Menu, I selected English Subtitles.  My expectation was that subtitles would appear when Bono talked (rather than sang) . . . . . whether Bono talked during a song or in between songs.  No subtitles appeared at any point.

If Subtitles don't work, what's the purpose of Disc 1 having a Set-Up Menu with several languages of Subtitles?  I also tried the other languages for the Subtitles (French, German, etc).

On a side note, I also tried the Closed Captioning button on my SONY television remote control, but no subtitles appeared on my SONY television screen either.
