I was going to accuse you of impropriety, but then I went to that Alta Vista translation site and realized you weren't saying something dirty. 
And I'd say something back, but the only Italian I know comes out of the ever-popular "24 Italian Songs and Arias" songbook that every vocal student knows.

Why would you film at the Amsterdam Arena if you can film at San Siro? C'mon, it was stupid enough already to play in Amsterdam instead of Rotterdam. To film in Amsterdam would be the most stupid decision ever.
And then those comments about how good the crowd is in Holland? C'mon, you honestly cannot say that Dutch crowds are better than Italian crowds. Why not? Because it simply ain't the truth.
P.S. I'm a Dutch guy.

I agree on 2 points... The Italian crowds are amazing and the sun sets earlier in Italy, but on Amsterdam has the advantage that weather can't screw up the filming... Amsterdam has a huge black backdrop enhancing the visuals... Amsterdam has some cleaver lighting to lights the stands... Amsterdam has 3 days...
See, I really don't care where they'll film... But Amsterdam has a lot of plusses... Of course the Italian crowds are very good. But then I ask myself why U2 filmed Boston last year when they could have done London or Cologne aswell...
We'll see... Tomorrow is Amsterdam 1...

I think all this crap about 3 or 4 dvd release is such a croc , you will get a vertigo dvd with 1 disc and it will be a compilation of the best footage from all the shows they had extra cams at from the entire tour.
You're kidding right? You can't sell compilations! The last one who tried this was Lenny Kravitz with his Live DVD... It was crap! Every band who releses live DVD's release full shows, just like what U2 has done with Popmart, Zoo-TV and Elevation...Headache said:
not really, the camera's have normally been there for a reason, i.e. vancover being the video shoot for COBL, and the other times have been the practise for the chigago shoot,Headache said:
they filmed croke for there archives. as am pretty sure they have for all shows in ireland

I will give you just that when that happens... But I expect the same from you when a DVD pack comes out with 2 full Verigo shows on itHeadache said:
If the band is doing a movie like that, the filming is so much different that it would have been noticed by now... Furthermore, the shows that were taped untill now were not for DVD purposes... Only Chicago was...
DVD shoot in Amsterdam
It's pretty much certain now...
The picture below indicates that in the center of the stadium a lot of extra lighting will be mounted on the roof... This indicates that the show will be filmed because extra lighting is necessary to light the audience...
Also visible on the second image, below the second ring are some early black backdrops... This increases the visual video and lighting effects...

Well, according to the person taking the picture, those still remained from the big dance spectacle that took place in the Arena this past weekend (Sensation Black & White).

He also said that today the whole field was empty, apart from U2's stuff. I don't think he could make pictures though...
BTW, how did you find out about the pictures?

Someone posted them on the forum of the Dutch U2 fanclub... Any chance of asking him wether there is some rigging hanging from the middel of the roof of the stadium?Popmartijn said:
EDIT : Indeed, I see some white baloons hanging from the roof in picture 1... These are from Sensation...
We'll have to wait for more pictures to know for sure though...

Plus a black 'updrop' above the stage. Now you do might be onto something...
*is then hoping for a good spot tomorrow and/or Friday*

Also looks liek they have set up the mixing positions on the side rather than 2 platforms offset in the middle of the field as everywhere else.
Looks our Willie has got an "office", sponsored by Grolsch and Redbull!!

Is it possible that that is a concession stand?
Willie section is in the very front... The section behind this are bars to provide the crowd with beer and redbulltwo shots said:Also looks liek they have set up the mixing positions on the side rather than 2 platforms offset in the middle of the field as everywhere else.

Anyway, the rigging at 4 spots you can see at the last picture indicates multiple spotlight positions above the crowd which can also be used for fantastic camera angles...
