Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary--iTunes sound problem?

[morgan1098]

I looked for a thread on this but didn't see one.

I downloaded all nine of the U2 tracks from iTunes; makes for a nice little 43-minute album.

All of the songs flow into one another as they should on a live album on iTunes, EXCEPT there's a hard cut between ISHFWILF and Mysterious Ways.  In other words, the applause cuts out abruptly at the end of ISHFWILF and then there's an abrupt start to Mysterious Ways.

Has anyone else encountered this on the iTunes version?  Or worse, is this the way it sounds on the CD?  I seriously doubt it.  I'm just wondering if I should jump through all the hoops of contacting iTunes, etc., or if this is really how the sound is on the iTunes version.

Thanks in advance.

I bought the iTunes-after ISHFWILF ends there's 15 secs applause then Bono mentions the names of Bruce and Roy then says 'some Irish dance music' then MW starts. Sounded perfectly fine to me.

Ok, thanks for the info.  I'm going to contact iTunes and see if I can re-download those two tracks.  There's gotta be a smooth transition at that point in the show.  Thanks again!

Hello --

Is there any difference on the tracklist for the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts on DVD and Blu-Ray?

I saw a backcover on Amazon's Blu-Ray list that got me slightly worried as it didn't have all the nine tracks U2 played.

Are both releases complete and the same on both formats?

The 2nd BlueRay contains:
Vertigo
Magnificent
Because the Night
I Still Haven't Found What i'm Looking For
Gimme Shelter
Stuck in a Moment
Beautiful Day

"Mysterious Ways" and "Where is the Love / One" are on the same disc but they are separate tracked videos under Bonus Tracks.

The CD has them in order as they were performed:

Vertigo
Magnificent
Because the Night
I Still Haven't Found
Mysterious Ways
Where is the Love / One
Gimme Shelter
Stuck in a Moment
Beautiful Day

So both are complete.  It's just that the Blu-Ray shifts two tracks to the bonus track area, which is why they aren't listed on the back cover.

On the NEWS & UPDATES page, the most recent update is listed as:
Rock Hall 10-Disc Digital Set with U2's 2004 induction performance and more

Didn't U2's induction ceremony (in which U2 performed) take place in New York City on March, 14 2005 rather than 2004?

Separate from that, didn't U2 perform on the second night (of two nights) of the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Concert in New York City?  The second night was October 30 2009.

Is my info correct?
If so, maybe somebody can correct the NEWS UPDATES page concerning the year 2004.

[slaneman]

Yes and yes. I'm sure that will be corrected soon.

And btw--if you get the Palladia HD music channel on your cable network they're showing the whole 25th Anniversary show. I watched a lot of it, including U2's songs last night.

[Aaron]

Yes and yes. I'm sure that will be corrected soon.

done and done.

Thanks for your reply, Aaron. Off to Amazon.com...
