U2 stage set:

The stage show was ridiculously immense.  I enjoyed it a lot.  I'm not as fond of going to gigs as I used to be - but something like this is worth seeing in person.

Good camera shot from your wee mobie!! We were right round the other side in the posh seats! Oh and I got my T_Shirt eventually, managed to get a girls fit one on the way out. Thanks for trying though!

Ooh, fab shot. I was really close to the front so I couldn't get a god shot of the entire thing. Glad you had a great time!!

Thanks!

Cool photo, though I've found that almost any photo, no matter how big or professional, completely fails to get across just how insanely huge the stage set was! I mean, it dwarfed the PopMart set, and that was ridikkulusly enormous! :D
PS. Was that photo taken during "The Unforgettable Fire"? That's the only one I remember the TV screen going into full expansion mode for.

I didn't take the photo (found it on Flickr), but I assume so.

It's interesting to note that any post/comment I've seen so far about the current U2 tour is all about the stage set and nothing at all on whether the band were actually any good.

I'm sure it was a great show, but have U2 got so musically banal and predictable that they have to try to gloss over it by throwing massive amounts of money at the visuals? I'm not having a dig at the band here (although I'm not a fan at all), I'm genuinely curious as to why no-one is talking about the music.

whether the band were actually any good.
Seen them three times now (plus the 3D concert thing at the Cineworld) - they've been fantastic acoustically every time, with great presence.

I expect them to be fantastic on stage, they always are - it hardly seems worth mentioning any more :->

'Going to a U2 gig' is supposed to be one of those ubiquitous 'things to do before you die' things because they are so incredibly spectacular. Rammstein is catching up tho. Apparently.

I'd like to see Rammstein. They still touring?
