    from backstreets :

    Notes: A solid, fun show for night one at the Garden. Springsteen wasn't in man-on-a-mission mode, he just seemed to be enjoying himself thoroughly. Not to suggest there wasn't plenty of power on that stage: "Backstreets" kicked ass, and the "Reason"/"Adam"/"She's the One" trifecta is hard to deny. But there was just more of the relaxed feel that comes with this kind of "friends and family" show. Spotted in the crowd: James Gandolfini, The Killers, and Bono (who was rumored for a guest spot, but didn't leave his seat all night).

    U2 REISSUES THE JOSHUA TREE, PLOTS ITS OWN SKYSCRAPER

    By Jeremy Goldmeier

    Take that, John Lennon! So what, you're reissuing your discography on
    iTunes? U2 is repackaging just one of its albums four times over. Oh
    yeah, and that wussy "Imagine Peace" tower that Yoko Ono unveiled in
    your honor? U2's getting its own skyscraper in Dublin, chump. So, you
    know, have fun with all of that posthumous recognition and all.
    Because the present belongs to Ireland's finest.

    On Nov. 20, U2 and its similarly named home label UMe will reissue the
    group's seminal Joshua Tree album in several different packaged forms
    to celebrate the album's 20th anniversary. So, U2 fans, pick your
    delicious poison: a single remastered CD, a double CD set, a 2xCD plus
    DVD goliath, or a double vinyl version. The various pressings feature
    new liner notes from the group, with bonus material to be announced in
    the near future. The DVD, meanwhile, features a live 1987 concert and
    the U2 documentary Outside It's America.

    Now, onto the really crazy U2 news. The group has evidently finalized
    plans for the "U2 Tower," which will loom over the skyline of Dublin
    like a giant electric triangle. For those who haven't been following
    this story, it's a pretty amazing study in progressive architecture:
    solar panels, wind turbines, 34 "social and affordable flats," all
    topped off with a free-hanging recording studio "pod," presumably for
    use by the group. The project should cost about £140 million, and will
    be spearheaded by designer Lord Foster, who put together this number
    in London. Better pick up all four reissued copies of The Joshua Tree,
    just in case finances fall short.

    Joshua TreeTo celebrate the 20th birthday of its landmark album “The Joshua Tree,” U2 is reissuing the set in four different incarnations on Nov. 20 via UMe. The album will be available as a remastered single CD, a 2-CD set, a 2-CD/1-DVD collectible box and a double-vinyl package.

    The single-disc will be housed in a jewel case, but the 2-CD set comes in a hard back case. The 2-CD/1-DVD version has a base and lid to accommodate the discs as well as five portfolio prints. Band members have contributed new liner notes for the package.

    Of most interest to fans is the inclusion of rare material on the expanded editions. Although details have yet to be announced, “Joshua Tree” demos, alternate versions and B-sides from the period are expected to appear.

    The DVD is understood to comprise a July 4, 1987, show at the Paris Hippodrome, as well as the documentary “Outside It’s America.”

    Produced by Brian Eno, “The Joshua Tree” shot U2’s commercial fortunes into the stratosphere. The album’s first three tracks were huge singles, with both “With or Without You” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    I hope this means Achtung Baby will get the same treatment in 2011 when it reaches it's 20th Birthday.

    Not so bothered about the CD versions but the double audiophile vinyl pressings should be very nice. Especially considering Joshua was a single lp when origianlly released.

    Achtung definitely deserves thie kind of treatment as does Unforgettable Fire & Zooropa.

    Vintage Springsteen Photos and Audio of Bruce Talking Bush and New Bands
    10/23/07, 5:43 pm EST


    As you may have noticed by now, Bruce Springsteen adorns the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone. In his revealing interview, Springsteen discusses the challenge of balancing music and family, as well as his latest album, Magic. But it’s one thing to read the man’s words; it’s another to hear him talk. We’ve been teasing you with promises of exclusive audio from his interview with Rolling Stone’s Joe Levy for the past week, and finally, we’re delivering. But before you click on the clips below, flip through this gallery of vintage Springsteen photographs that track his early days with his first band, the Castiles, his long-haired Seventies phase, and the times he met up with U2 in Europe.

    Edge is interviewed for 'Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who'
    Airs: Saturday, November 3 on VH-1

    VH1 Rock Doc 'Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who' Premieres
    Commercial Free on VH1, Saturday, November 3 at 9pm*
    October 17, 2007

    NEW YORK, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- "Amazing Journey: The Story of The
    Who," a definitive, exhilarating feature-length film on the legendary
    British rock band, The Who is the newest documentary to premiere in the
    Emmy award winning VH1 Rock Docs franchise.

    Authorized by The Who, produced by Spitfire Pictures' Nigel Sinclair
    (No Direction Home: Bob Dylan) and Trinifold's Robert Rosenberg,
    executive produced by Trinifold's Bill Curbishley, and directed by Paul
    Crowder (Once In a Lifetime) and Academy Award(R) winner Murray Lerner
    (Festival), "Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who," premieres
    commercial free on VH1 Saturday, November 3 at 9pm and will be
    simulcast on VH1 Classic and will run commercial free on MHD: Music
    High-Definition, MTV Network's high-definition music channel. Spanning
    over four decades, the film tells the unfolding story of The Who and
    how they have straddled the rock world for forty years, in a tale as
    gripping in adventure, life and personality as the searing power of
    their music. The film features all-new, never-before-seen interviews
    with Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and others, rare and recently
    discovered concert footage, artist profiles and more, all in 5.1
    Surround Sound.

    "Amazing Journey: Six Quick Ones," a sister project and a second
    feature film, made up of six integrated parts will be available on
    VH1Classic.com beginning Tuesday, November 6. The band's monumental
    legacy is celebrated in this companion DVD which takes us through, in
    four individual pieces, the virtuoso musical abilities of each band
    member: Roger Daltrey; Pete Townshend; John Entwistle; and Keith Moon;
    Who Art You, a segment looking into the Mod and Pop Art movements, and
    finally in Who's Back, a 2003 studio recording session captured by
    legendary filmmakers, the Pennebakers, of The Who recording their hit
    song "Real Good Looking Boy" from the album Then and Now, the band's
    first new studio recording in over 20 years.

    "Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who" moves from the group's origins
    as a 1960's schoolboy R& B cover band, through their meteoric rise and
    artistic breakthroughs, to the infighting, the breakups and
    reconciliations, and the untimely deaths of drummer Keith Moon and
    bassist John Entwistle. In addition to never-before-seen private
    materials released by the group and its fans worldwide, the film
    includes interviews with prominent witnesses and personal friends such
    as Sting, U2's The Edge, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Oasis' Noel
    Gallagher. Rare and unreleased concert footage and outtakes are also
    featured from: Monterey, Woodstock, The Isle of Wight 1970, Live At
    Leeds, The Concert for NYC, and other seminal concerts.

    Beginning with their first hit single "I Can't Explain," The Who
    emerged from Mod-Era London to electrify the world with their unique
    sound. The music and live performances of Pete Townshend, Roger
    Daltrey, John Entwistle and Keith Moon tore through the existing
    boundaries of rock. The band has recorded 11 remarkable albums,
    including the world's first rock opera Tommy, and the ensuing
    masterwork Quadrophenia. The British legends produced some of the most
    compelling and original music of the era, including the songs, "Won't
    Get Fooled Again," "Happy Jack," "Pictures of Lily" and the immortal
    "My Generation." The feature film brings the band's story right up to
    date with footage from the band's recent tour and tracks from the
    band's first album in two decades 'Endless Wire'.

    Marking 40 years since The Who's first U.S. appearance in North
    America, Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who and Amazing Journey: Six
    Quick Ones, two exhilarating feature-length films about one of the
    seminal and most influential rock bands in history, produced by
    Spitfire Pictures in association with Trinifold Management, will be
    released by Universal Studios Home Entertainment on DVD on November 6,
    2007.

    "Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who" reintroduces The Who now and to
    generations-to-come, as it tells one of the greatest stories of rock.
    The companion feature film, "Amazing Journey: Six Quick Ones," takes
    the viewer inside the mysteries that drive a rock band to the pinnacle
    of musical achievement.

    "Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who" is the latest film in the VH1
    Rock Docs franchise. VH1 Rock Docs are high-end feature-length
    documentaries that each reveal an untold story in the history of rock
    and hip-hop music, combining never-before-seen footage with a unique

    Anyways I'm mad at myself for replacing my scratched Joshua Tree a couple of months ago. Now I don't know if I'm going to get this deluxe edition. Does anyone know how much it will be going retail?

    U2 company pays millions to 'employees,' Irish accounts show

    The Associated Press
    Friday, October 26, 2007

    DUBLIN, Ireland: U2 Ltd., the music publishing company that collects
    royalty fees for Bono and other members of the Irish band, raked in
    more than €20 million (US$30 million) last year, company accounts show.

    The documents, obtained Friday by The Associated Press, offers a rare
    indication of how much income Bono and other U2 members derive from
    sales of their music.

    U2 Ltd. said it paid nearly €18 million (US$25.8 million) in 2006 to
    five unidentified "employees" — widely suspected to be the band members
    and their manager. The company said it retained more than €3.8 million
    (US$5.5 million), more than double the previous year.

    While Bono has won accolades worldwide for his work raising awareness
    of Third World poverty, he has suffered criticism at home for moving
    U2's corporate offices out of Ireland to avoid paying tax.

    The U2 Ltd. accounts document how the band moved its corporate base
    last year from Ireland to the Netherlands, where royalties on music
    incur virtually no tax.

    The move, while perfectly legal, strikes a raw nerve in Ireland, whose
    wealthiest citizens often live as tax exiles in other European
    countries to avoid tax.

    It's not known whether the globe-trotting Bono — who owns a mansion
    overlooking Dublin Bay — is personally tax resident in Ireland.

    U2 Ltd.'s move to the Netherlands coincided with the appearance on its
    accounts, for the first time, of five new "employees" who received
    €17,963,248 (US$25,795,224) in 2006.

    The documents, filed this week at the Irish Companies Registration
    Office in Dublin, record that the four band members — Paul "Bono"
    Hewson, Dave "The Edge" Evans, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen — quit the
    U2 Ltd. board when the company relocated to Amsterdam in June 2006.

    The documents offered no breakdown of pay to the five. Previous years'
    U2 Ltd. accounts, produced when the U2 members were still company
    directors, listed employee salaries as zero.

    U2's public relations firms in Dublin and London refused to confirm
    whether the five in question were the U2 members and their longtime
    manager, Paul McGuinness. The publicists also declined to offer any
    explanation for who else might conceivably be the principal recipient
    of profits from U2's music sales, if not those five men.

    Frances McCahon, a London-based U2 spokeswoman, said she was not
    authorized to answer any questions about the U2 Ltd. documents.
    Officials at other U2-linked enterprises referred all calls to McCahon.

    U2 Ltd. said it paid €765,578 (nearly US$1.1 million) in 2006 tax to
    Ireland, compared to just €32,385 (US$46,500) in 2005.

    The increased tax bill in 2006 reflects U2's sudden exposure to taxes
    on royalty income in Ireland. Last year the government — stung by
    criticism that its traditional tax-free status for artists was not
    intended to support multimillionaires like U2 — capped the tax-free
    benefit at €250,000 (US$360,000) annually.

    Within months, U2 relocated its corporate base to Amsterdam.

    The U2 Ltd. documents, reflecting the band's continuous collection of
    royalty payments for album and music-download sales as well as
    rebroadcast rights, are unrelated to the band's profits from its most
    recent worldwide tour. Billboard reported that the Vertigo tour grossed
    more than US$260 million (€180 million), making U2 the top-selling live
    act of 2005.

    Bono and the other U2 members regularly feature in lists of Ireland's
    wealthiest people. One often published figure estimates their wealth at
    €600 million (US$860 million), but the reality has proved impossible to
    document given the band's myriad investment projects and companies.

    The quartet are directors of a parent company, Not Us Ltd., that has
    several subsidiaries including U2 Ltd., Target Tours Inc., Sam Tours
    Inc., Mother Records Ltd. and U2 Partnership. The U2 Ltd. documents
    show that the various subsidiaries regularly transfer funds to, and
    cover expenses incurred for, other U2 subsidiaries.

    Bono and The Edge are among Dublin's highest-profile property investors
    and developers. The riverfront hotel they jointly own, the Clarence, is
    currently the subject of a planning battle with conservationists.

    U2 wants the existing hotel razed and replaced with a €150 million
    (US$215 million), ultramodern hotel designed by architect Norman
    Foster. An initial decision from Dublin City Council planners is due
    next month.

    Bono also is one of six principals in an investment trust called
    Elevation Partners that invests widely, including in software houses
    and Forbes business publishing.

    The Joshua Tree 2007


    "The Joshua Tree will prove a braver and better record than anything else that's likely to appear in 1987" NME

    U2's The Joshua Tree has been meticulously remastered from the original analogue master tapes to mark 20 years since its release.

    "There has been continuous demand from U2 fans to have The Joshua Tree properly re-mastered," says Paul McGuinness. "As always, the band had to make sure it was right, and now it is."

    The album will be available in four formats:
    • A standard CD featuring liner notes from Bill Flanagan, lyrics and unseen photographs from long time collaborator Anton Corbijn.
    • A double 12" gatefold vinyl format, with the original album pressed across two 180 gram audiophile discs.
    • A deluxe edition including a second CD of b-sides and demos from the original album sessions.
    • A limited edition box set containing two CD's and a DVD featuring The Joshua Tree Tour live from the Hippodrome in Paris and other rare video footage.

    The CD track listing is as follows: Where The Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, With Or Without You, Bullet The Blue Sky, Running To Stand Still, Red Hill Mining Town, In God's Country, Trip Through Your Wires, One Tree Hill, Exit and Mothers Of The Disappeared.

    great info found here also:

    I'll hopefully be getting one of these plus the 2CD/DVD set!

    Am I right in thinking that if 20th November is the US release date, then it's Friday 16th November here in Ireland?

    Variety is reporting that U23D has been picked up for distribution by
    National Geographic. It will only be shown in 3D, and is slated to hit
    theaters in North America in January 2008.
