It's a real shame though that we didn't get any pictures of John in the pink t-shirt.

Nah, he should have his pink shirt in privacy - it looked good on him though!

new Dallas video is up in the subscribers section of u2.com


while nice does not make up for absence of Willie's diary (or Willie for that matter )
but I would be happy with a Dallas diary

 

[VicksSs]

I've got no new pictures than the ones posted, but these guys really deserve our gratitude. U2 CREW ROCKS!!!

 

[beau2ifulday]

I just watched the Dallas vid - I love how he's so enthusiastic about Edge

He seems like a really nice guy, for sure

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I'm giving this one a since it's the end of the third leg. Many of us have been to some terrific shows this year, and I think we owe these guys a lot of thanks!







(okay, and I finally realized at my last show that Dallas is a cutie and I'd like to see some more pictures of him please )

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

The crew is great.

Dallas was cool enough to give me two picks this year, and Stuart gave Abby and I the setlist and Edge's pick in NYC in October. Aside from all that, they really are awesome guys and I'm sure one of the reasons why is because U2 are such great guys to work for.

 

[nurse chrissi]

I can't say enough nice things about the Vertigo Crew - U2 has a great group of people working with them

 

[aislinn]

I don't have any pictures to post, but wanted to add my to the crew. What a great bunch.

I was able to meet Joe after the show in St. Louis and he was kind enough to shake hands with my friend and I. We told him how much we enjoyed the show and the tour this year and he seemed genuinely touched. What a sweet man.

Oh dang. I always thought this was Stuart! My mistake!

I want to say that Edge's bodyguard is Brian and Larry's is David (maybe?)

seriously wrong that I know these facts


During one point John hustled by when Bono was leaning into the audience and lightly bumped into me on the rail - he immediately turned around massaged my elbow and asked if I was okay - classy guy

and Edge's bodyguard is a cutie


but a lot of thanks to these guys - that has to be a hard job

 

[BlueAingeal]

Personally I think that Scott is amazing! He's a gentleman, very nice and very respectful of the fans. Jerry Mele did a great job training him and he's doing a great job as the head of security.

Keep U2ing,

Blue.

 

[anjarw]

the one in the front is adam's bodyguard..he was really nice to us in amsterdam..i think his name is Jerry, not quite sure though

 

[clarityat3am]

The crew has always been awesome! I've had two of the most memorable encounters with John, Bono's personal security, on two seperate tours. He really is a great guy! I love that we appreciate them as much as we do the boys! They really do keep the tours moving smoothly for us.

 

[lauramullen]

I like to give my thanks to all those who get to be on tour with U2. You guys work so hard and you are appreciated.

I think Edge's body guard is named Barry. He's also ina few shots from Edge and Morleigh's wedding.

I thought his name was Barry too but then I was told it's Brian. Now we just call him Barry-Brian when we see him coming.

Believe me, it's Brian.

The entire crew came up on stage last night

They were all wearing t-shirts with a single letter that spelled out something. It started with 'T H E U 2 V E R T I G O C R E W....' I couldn't make out the rest of what was printed.

Someone must have a picture

I snagged these off u2tours.com (taken by Jennifer Hawker). What a cool moment this was!

 

[BonoFox1]

^ That was SO AMAZING!! The band was so surprised!!!..I loved the look on their faces!!!

 

[arw]

Believe me, it's Brian.

I know...you're the one who corrected me I still like to call him Barry

 

[eep]

As long as you know the truth, you can still call him Barry.

Cool! Kinda skinny but hot! (Jerry)

 

[i_love_adam]

Is the guy on extreme left Edge's bodyguard?

 

[ruffian]

What a great thread idea! The "backline" crew: Dallas, Stu, Phil, Sam, and the 60 "frontline" people, including Pinky, JP, Rachel, Flo, Dewey, Alan (who won't be on the 4th leg), AJ, Rocco...and many more...

I saw them loading in at 6:30 in the morning in some cities (I remember being on the sidewalk in front of MSG as they were starting their day) and at 1:30 in the morning in other cities loading out. They have traveled so many thousands of miles on this tour and worked all hours to make the show happen. I feel lucky to have gotten to know a few of them over the course of three legs, and look forward to their familiar faces if I make it to shows on the 4th leg.

Security have also worked some crazy hours, so thanks to all of them as well: David, Brian, John, Scott, and Jerry.

Thanks for everything
