Where can I find the bootlegs you review?

Bootleg collecting is a reality at present, however, and because our readers have repeatedly asked for it, we do provide a columnist who does consumer-oriented reviews of new bootlegs so collectors can know what dogs to avoid.

Where can I find bootlegs?

U2: U2faqs.com - Live / Concert FAQ
With the explosion of the internet, fans now have an easy means to contact each other to exchange bootleg recordings. There are many U2 mailing lists which allow for the trade of bootlegs, and still other lists which are dedicated to the trading of bootlegs. Many fans also maintain webpages which list the material that they have for trade. Often you do not need to have recordings to trade to make use of these services, as fans often will offer to make copies for blank CDs and postage in return.
