    GMA entailed just about all that Letterman did.
    In between news and whatnot i heard they got Vertigo as well, ( wasnt aired )
    looked like everyone had cams / phones the entire time thru these should start popping up on youtube any moment now.

    Not too happy about the stadium thing, but i hear there may be a center stage setup , which will be different in itself.

    Prince did this a few years back as well as metallica . Should be interesting how it impacts on u2s stageshow which usually entails lots of video screens and visuals . ( Centerstage requiring a pretty open stage setup .)

    Norm : nice packages ! I'm waiting on all of mine also- i hope you are on the east coast and from the northeastern region !

    SWEET !

    U2's stage is out of this world

    Article from:
    The Mirror (London, England)
    Article date:
    March 5, 2009

    Byline: By MICHELLE O'KEEFFE

    U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jnr has revealed fans will get closer than
    ever to the band at their new live shows.

    He said: "The stage is like a spaceship and this allows us to be
    placed close to the centre of the stadium.

    "It has not been done before. Essentially it's trying to bring the
    band closer to the audience and that's the challenge."

    He also tells RTE 2FM's Larry Gogan the one song that always has the
    best effect on the audience is Where The Streets Have No Name.

    The drummer added: "On stage for many years there are moments where
    certain songs change the atmosphere in the room.

    "It's one of those great moments. It always makes me laugh thinking of
    producer Brian Eno trying to burn the tape because he couldn't get his
    head around the song".

    The interview can be heard on Sunday at 4pm. The Two Larrys podcast
    will also be available this weekend.

    No dates in Northern California? Perhaps one will be added later? Talk about getting the shaft. We've sold out a total of 9 shows the last 2 tours and now we get nothing? This stadium tour idea is stupid. I honestly think the reason behind it is Bono's voice. There's no way it could take another 75 plus arena shows. So instead they're playing 1/3 the shows spaced out with no back to back dates.

    Nothing is worth seeing in a stadium setting, unless you are in the first 10 rows.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    This is super encouraging though....

    “U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by their audience, this staging takes a giant leap forward,” said U2 manager Paul McGuinness. “With 85 percent of the tickets priced at less than $95, general admission floor tickets priced at $55 and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at the $30 price range, we have worked very hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view.”

    these tour schedule sucks, really... why the fuck have they not released all the dates of the summer tour? I mean every show will be soldout so why are they that careful and holding back information from the fans, it's pretty difficult to plan wher ti go ( :)) and see them if you don't know whether they add shows in your city or another one very close.

    09 March 2009
    The band have today confirmed that their U2 U2 360° Tour will open at the Nou Camp Stadium in Barcelona on 30th June. Sponsored by BlackBerry, it is the band's first stadium outing since the Vertigo Tour 05/06 and follows the release of their acclaimed album, No Line On The Horizon.

    Their 12th studio album, No Line On The Horizon, is already number 1 in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Japan and the Czech Republic with further chart positions to be announced this week.

    Produced by Live Nation Global Touring, U2 360° will visit 14 cities across Europe including dates in Milan, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, Dublin, Chorzow, Berlin, Gelsenkirchen, London, Sheffield and Glasgow before finishing at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on August 22.

    The European tour will be followed by dates in North America beginning at Chicago's Soldier Field on September 12th, 2009. Find all the tour dates on our Tour page.

    Long-time U2 Show Director Willie Williams has worked again with architect Mark Fisher (ZooTV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo), to create an innovative 360° design which affords an unobstructed view for the audience. U2 360° also marks the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a unique and original structure.

    "U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by the audience, this staging takes a giant leap forward. With 85 percent of the tickets priced at less than 95 Euro, general admission floor tickets priced at 55 euro and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at the 30 Euro price range, we have worked very hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view" says U2's manager Paul McGuinness.

    Arthur Fogel, CEO Global Touring/Chairman - Global Music Live Nation: "Following the overwhelming worldwide success of the Vertigo tour where every available ticket was sold, there is tremendous anticipation for this tour and to experience this revolutionary production. As usual fans will not be disappointed."

    "This tour announcement marks the first stage of a relationship and shared vision between RIM and U2 that we expect will lead to new and innovative ways to enhance the mobile music experience on the BlackBerry platform for U2 fans," added Paul McGuinness. "We look forward to sharing more details as the relationship unfolds."

    In keeping with their long-standing tradition, U2 will welcome a number of different support acts to the tour including Glasvegas, Elbow, Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol and Black Eyed Peas with additional artists to be announced.

    Tickets for U2 U2 360° performances in Milan and Gothenburg go on sale this Friday, March 13th. Tickets for the Amsterdam performance go on sale this Saturday, March 14th.

    Full details of all dates and on-sale information as well as a virtual model of the unique production and seating positions can be found here.

    As usual, existing subscribers to U2.com will have an opportunity to purchase tickets in advance of the public on sale date.

    U2 360° Tour is produced by Live Nation Global Touring.
