very cool shot...and i'm not even sure the word impressive does it proper justice.
it is really indescribable...especially when the screens move into the cylinder and then they play zooropa and city of blinding lights....and then lets go crazy and then and then...so many highlights, such an epic event...
i saw the first leg, before bono hurt his back and then saw the second leg(after he was better)
it was better the second time around, but thats prolly cause they dropped a lot of the new album songs and went with the hits. i have to give props to u2 for doing it up right. big stadium and big everything with cheap seats(if u wanted to stand in the pit). heard they grossed 3/4 of a billion dollars on this tour :shock: :shock:
i loved the elevation tour because it was stripped down but this show was such a spectacle...can't really compare one to the other because they were so different. been a u2 fan since the early 1980's and lots of peeps at the show who weren't even born when i started listening to them...not that it makes me a better fan...juss saying...its been a wild ride!
Hey rick, if you get merch at the show tomorrow, do you mind picking me up an Achtung Baby shirt if they have it? I can paypal you.

Campaign Encourages Fans to Donate a Pair of Shoes And In Exchange Receive a Pair of Tickets to the U2 360° Tour
StubHub, the world’s largest ticket marketplace, is launching the Take Off Your Boots campaign to collect shoes for the charity Soles4Souls, and giving away tickets to the U2 360° Tour to those who participate. From May through July, StubHub with the help of Hard Rock Cafe, will host events in New York City and Philadelphia to collect new or gently used shoes. In exchange for donating a pair of shoes at these events, fans will receive a pair of U2 tickets.
Soles4Souls, a Nashville-based charity, collects shoes and distributes them to people in need. Since 2005, it has given more than 13 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes to people in over 125 countries.
“We are thrilled StubHub is making it easy for people in these cities to donate to our cause. We hope that as a result of the Take Off Your Boots campaign , Soles4Souls will be able to distribute thousands of pairs of shoes to those who are most in need,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls.
There is a limit of one pair of U2 tickets per person donating a pair of shoes at the Take Off Your Boots events, while supplies last. Shoes must be gently used or new to be accepted. The locations, dates and times of the shoe collection events are
Philadelphia (StubHub Last Minute Services Storefront, 900 Packer Ave.) – July 13 from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
New York City (StubHub Last Minute Services Storefront, 40th and Broadway) – July 20 from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Last year, after U2 postponed their tour many fans who purchased tickets through StubHub could not commit to the rescheduled shows. With StubHub’s FanProtect Guarantee policy, these fans were able to return their tickets and receive their money back. Because it is StubHub’s policy not to resell tickets, these returned tickets are now being used to encourage charitable giving through the Take Off Your Boots campaign.
“At StubHub our number one priority is taking care of our customers, which is why we were happy to jump in and make things right for those that were stuck with tickets they couldn’t use in light of Bono’s injury and subsequent U2 rescheduling of shows last year. By helping fans we also created an excellent opportunity to give back. We are excited to partner with Soles4Souls and see this campaign as a fun way to incentivize charitable giving,” said Ray Elias, senior director of marketing for StubHub.
Those unable to make it to the events who still wish to donate shoes can find easy, step-by-step instructions on the Soles4Souls website: www.soles4souls.org.

does anyone have a close up picture of the jesus statue that was at the very top of the center pole on the new stage?
jesus with his arms stretched wide open...i never realized that statue existed until the last of the 3 shows shows i saw. i kept looking up at it in disbelief...but soon realized that it was jesus! weird...
i know larry, bono and edge are hard core christians but i thought the statue was a little over the top...
Anyone know what time tonight? Interpol 7:30? U2 9:00?

First of all the show was awesome! Secondly I was amazed at how good my spot was. We got there around 2pm and ended up around 7th row in the inner circle. Just an amazing night.

Chris - Sorry, I did look, but did not see that shirt, they only had the 360 tour shirts at the stand near us. We weren't able to wander around too much, since we were on the front rail and had to hold our spots, and at the end I didn't see any stands that were still open. I did manage to get the one I wanted, the one in my avi
I'll check again for you next week in NJ, I don't think we will do the extreme GA line up, so we should be able to look around more. I think I want to pick up another one I saw, navy blue with yellow 360 Tour logo on it.
But really - you ought to try to get there yourself, it was an amazing show!

last night was an amazing show, we checked into the general admission line Wednesday afternoon at about 3pm and got #77 and 78 in line. Then had to be there at 4:30am to start the long wait in the blazing sun. We ended up getting on the rail of the outer circle, best place to see the show.
this was our view of the stage:
wish I would have brought my camera in, all I had was my phone:
this is a view from behind the stage, but will give you a good sense of the spectacle of the whole thing:

Even though I've been a fan since The Joshua Tree was new, and I grew up watching Under a Blood Red Sky, Rattle and Hum and Zoo TV (I still have them all on VHS), I have yet to see this band live. I guess it's because I have a feeling that they couldn't live up to how awesome I thought they were when I was young. Or it's because I like other bands better now.
No really, I do want to see them, but not with this fucking robot claw from District 9 monstrosity. I hope their next tour takes the modest approach.
OK now i am stoked.

i am i am!!! i can't wait! after the concert in philly i've been so excited for this concert. i've been listening to U2 nonstop, mostly Boy and Zooropa. i'm gonna camp out and get a good spot, i'm getting a new camera, i'm just sad i got into U2 so late in life and never got a chance to go to see them before the 360 tour. i promise to make up for lost time though during the next tour though!

awesome !
I've been lucky enough to have seen them regularly on every tour ,
since Joshua Tree Tour of 1987.
( Okay showing my age here )
Always one of the more entertaining shows ,
even tho the show generally doesnt vary much , like Pearl Jam or Springsteen do.
So I assume youll be in one of the inner circles then washedinblack? Since you are camping out.
Thats pretty diehard.
I , on the other hand, am old , and need that little piece
of real estate that is my actual seat , for 2 or 3 hours .
Everyone pretty much stands from beginning to end anyway, it always happens.
I'm hoping to find a tailgate to encounter in the lots out there in the Swamps of Jersey .
Last week , I got lucky and pulled up a pair in the lower bowl,
directly behind the stage. Section 101 i believe.
Cannot wait.
Enjoy the show washedinblack.

They’re nowhere near my favorite band. They’re not even my favorite among the shrinking pool of music stars able to fill stadiums anymore. Still, whenever anybody asks who in the concert business is really worth paying $100 to $250 to see from Sec. 214, Row Y, my one and only answer is always U2.
OK, so I personally don’t pay for most of my concert tickets these days. Any print journalist circa 2011 is well aware of the value of a dollar, though. More important, anybody who sees 100-plus concerts a year undoubtedly has a higher standard for what makes a quality show.
U2 excels in every arena.
When you see U2, you’re actually getting U2, the same four lads who met as fluffy-haired Dublin teenagers, who have stayed alive and remained friends despite many odds and at least one ego. You aren’t getting Bono and the Edge with John Bonham’s son and the Replacements’ bassist, plus a troop of backup singers to cover Bono’s missed notes.
That’s not the only reason U2 is worth the big bucks over the Rolling Stones or the Who (who actually are two of my all-time favorites). Both of those legendary bands put out classic albums for two decades but have since issued lots of forgettable rubbish. U2 has remained fairly consistent. There are five or six songs from 2009’s underrated “No Line on the Horizon” that I would like to hear Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium. Even U2’s worst record, “Pop,” had three songs on it worth hearing live.
“Pop” is also a good example of how U2 always makes its shows interesting, even if the public is disinterested in its latest album. The accompanying PopMart tour in 1997 was bloated, gaudy and damn silly — and it was a blast.
Most of today’s top touring acts can’t think beyond adding more pyro or dancers to offer a bigger concert production. U2, however, always seems to come up with something inventive. It often does so at its own expense: 1992’s Zoo TV trek was famously a financial boondoggle; the 360° Tour has eaten through a lot of cash, too.
Even with all those pricey distractions on the PopMart and Zoo TV tours, fans at those shows still felt the same emotional connection to U2 as they did back when the quartet’s flashiest production stunt was Bono picking up a spotlight to shine on the Edge.
From the moment U2 started playing to massive audiences, it created a fervency up to the nosebleed sections. The band’s anthemic sound and rally-cry songs play a big role in that. So does Bono, who knows how to work a room. He charmed Bill Clinton into helping end the Bosnian war and George W. Bush into curbing the African AIDS epidemic, after all.
With all that said about U2’s worth, here’s the really surprising thing about the band: Its concerts are relative bargains.
The average price for a ticket on its current tour is $88, according to concert journal Pollstar.com, compared with $126 for Roger Waters and $93 for Bon Jovi. Yes, there are $250 seats for U2, but there are a lot more between $30 and $95. In that regard, the Irish quartet is a lot like blue-collar heroes Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam, the only other acts that consistently work big venues so well.
Springsteen and Pearl Jam, though, don’t rise out of mirror-ball lemons or captain mega-claw spaceships at their concerts. Borrr-ing!

it's a stage that has the main stage then there's an outer circle. there are bridges that allow the band members to move from the main stage to the outer circle and almost walk amongst the fans that are in the inner and outer circle. then there's a big... i dunno, tunnel thing that shows video footage of the band performing so everyone can see and also shows pre-recorded stuff like astronauts and aung san suu kyi talking
the claw part itself is more like a physical structure to hold it all up plus it holds videographers. and it has a disco ball and this.. light thing on top.

For the first time of 3 shows I sat in the stands dead center upper row on the rail. From there I was able for the first able to see the full effect of the Claw structure. Even though a bit over the top....I must say it was AWESOME!

Chris - Sorry, I did look, but did not see that shirt, they only had the 360 tour shirts at the stand near us. We weren't able to wander around too much, since we were on the front rail and had to hold our spots, and at the end I didn't see any stands that were still open. I did manage to get the one I wanted, the one in my avi
I'll check again for you next week in NJ, I don't think we will do the extreme GA line up, so we should be able to look around more. I think I want to pick up another one I saw, navy blue with yellow 360 Tour logo on it.
But really - you ought to try to get there yourself, it was an amazing show!
this was our view of the stage:
wish I would have brought my camera in, all I had was my phone:
this is a view from behind the stage, but will give you a good sense of the spectacle of the whole thing:

No really, I do want to see them, but not with this fucking robot claw from District 9 monstrosity. I hope their next tour takes the modest approach.
Who else is going to New Jersey?
Bruce apprearance ?

awesome !
I've been lucky enough to have seen them regularly on every tour ,
since Joshua Tree Tour of 1987.
( Okay showing my age here )
Always one of the more entertaining shows ,
even tho the show generally doesnt vary much , like Pearl Jam or Springsteen do.
So I assume youll be in one of the inner circles then washedinblack? Since you are camping out.
Thats pretty diehard.
I , on the other hand, am old , and need that little piece
of real estate that is my actual seat , for 2 or 3 hours .
Everyone pretty much stands from beginning to end anyway, it always happens.
I'm hoping to find a tailgate to encounter in the lots out there in the Swamps of Jersey .
Last week , I got lucky and pulled up a pair in the lower bowl,
directly behind the stage. Section 101 i believe.
Cannot wait.
Enjoy the show washedinblack.

the claw part itself is more like a physical structure to hold it all up plus it holds videographers. and it has a disco ball and this.. light thing on top.

For the first time of 3 shows I sat in the stands dead center upper row on the rail. From there I was able for the first able to see the full effect of the Claw structure. Even though a bit over the top....I must say it was
AWESOME!
