Discography & Releases / Re: Construction Ahead. Use Caution.
« Last post by Aaron on June 28, 2020, 05:01:04 PM »It has finally occurred to me what feature I would desperately like to see enabled at U2Songs.com! A way to search by format! I know each album and song listing advises which formats they’ve been released in, but rather than be limited by going from album/song to format, I’d like the reverse search to be possible, too. I know some people won’t be able to fathom this, but I have no tolerance for vinyl and cassette formats, and can only begrudgingly accept digital downloads if they’re high resolution. CD is my format of choice and I feel that I am starting to get a little lost on some of these one-off releases (like Five Seconds of Summer’s “Best Years”) in terms of what’s available in formats I prefer. Do you think a feature like that could be made viable?
Yes. It's about 2/3 finished
You will be able to view lists by best quality available...
Streaming Only
Compressed Digital Files
Non-Compressed Analog Sources (Vinyl / Cassette)
CD Quality Audio (Digital or Physical)
High Resolution Digital Audio
Analog Video Source
Digital Video Source.
It'll be tied in at the lyrics pages. So you'll be able to find a list of what is available as best format.
Also going to give you the ability to sort tracks by solo U2 vs the full band or Passengers. And a couple of other options as well...

Due to new security some of the features of this forum won't work, including the ability to upload avatars. We know it's a problem. We have a fix for it but have other things that have to get done first.Yes, of course. I'm cool with that. Thanks for the response.

I just tried the process again so that I could document exactly what appears . . . . . after I click on the Change profile button. The webpage leaves that screen and then a box this appears with this:
An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

- went to my forum profile
- deleted the existing image for my profile avatar
- clicked on the Change Profile button
- exited my forum profile
- viewed a forum thread to confirm that the image was no longer visible on two of my previous forum posts
- returned to my forum profile
- tried to upload a different image for my profile avatar
The image I tried to upload is only 30 KB but the upload did not work. What should I do to fix this?

Discography & Releases / Re: different LIVE arrangements of U2 songs
« Last post by dagobah on June 08, 2020, 05:12:03 PM »I also discovered the live performance (during the 2018 tour) of Dirty Day is different because Bono uses quite a bit of time during the song to talk about the band growing up in Ireland . . . . . and the consequence of that is . . . . . many of the lyrics are not sung.

Discography & Releases / different LIVE arrangements of U2 songs
« Last post by dagobah on June 07, 2020, 05:20:27 PM »I just discovered the following two arrangements of Iris (Hold Me Close) were performed quite differently:
1. Paris, France December 7, 2015 (which is on the DVD release)
2. Montreal, Canada June 6 2018 (which is on the 2019 U2 fan club CD release Live Songs of iNNOCENCE+eXPERIENCE)
The lyrics of Iris (Hold Me Close) are moved around and thus . . . . . so is the music. I only found out because I am currently deciding which live U2 audio files from 2015 to 2018 . . . . . . are worth keeping in my iTunes library. But it's weird I am only now discovering this different live arrangement of Iris (Hold Me Close).
Thanks to Aaron's detailed notes in the discography, we know that U2 performed New Year's Day with a very different arrangement in 2017 and 2018. Is there anyone on the forum who knows what other songs U2 performed with different arrangements in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019?
