In late 2002 I shelved all MO plans and activity and eventually switched my taping activities to other groups still active on tour (mostly with U2) and have not only been audio taping but doing video as well.
Seems all former resistance from security, etc has vanished, last U2 show attended (Anahiem) I had problems with my view getting blocked by the 100s of vidcams in use and now we all get together afterwards for the big multicam hdmi dvd release :P
Also got to do a U2 recently that took me back through western canada but, in the reverse direction (shows from east heading west to Vancouver) and was done in similar fashion to Capricornia 2002
I sure do miss MO tour but, can say for certain how things would be different nowdays
These recollections led me to digging up (literally, from under a ton or so of stuff left in storage in Arcata) my MO boot collection (badly degraded as far and the cd's go) and start ripping tracks to flac to post to dime torrents and the pirate bay (there are a few on both now)

I sure wish MO was still around, I would probably be video editing recordings of them if they were.....
