band entrance

[adypole]

how should the band enter? bring back the silhouette? national anthem? Or something totally new? should they just walk on and kick of with a decent song?

be creative!

 

[Danny Boy®]

Helicopters.

 

[schnumi]

They will descend by elevator from the top of the claw.

 

[dkazxp]

I have a suspicion that there is something we are yet to find out about the architecture of the claw relating to band entrances for the start / encores of the show.

....or just bring back the lemon!!

Zip lines---4 corners of the Claw to the 4 corners of the stadium, 4 band members zipping in to the new U2 Spiderman music.

By bungee jump from a helicopter.



I like the zip line idea. ^

I imagine they will just come onstage to this tours version of "Wake Up".

Entrance

There will be no claw before the show... only a stage.

Then, like the Wild, Wild West (Will Smith movie), the claw will climb in over the sides of the stadium....

... or fly in somehow.


How's that for creative?

 

[Sicy]

A spaceship man, dont you guys pay attention?

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

God will reach down from heaven with his giant hand and carefully place them all onstage.

[adypole]

aaah, if this was only 1997 and someone asked for a lemon.

who would have thought

 

[last unicorn]

God will reach down from heaven with his giant hand and carefully place them all onstage.

That will be the best entrance of anyone. Ever.


Seriously, I'm curious about that as well. I know there will be bridges for the band to walk in and out, but what about the stadiums where the stage will be more in the center? Are they going to dig a tunnel to crawl to the stage or what?

 

[Jive Turkey]

I heard that they blew the entire budget on the claw and will be driving mopeds to the stage

U2 Quadrophenia

They will fly in one by one ofcourse. All lights go out and we will see a golden figure flying around the stadium screaming "LemoOOOON".

They've been to this show for a reason, I hope :x

 

[BVS]

They will just be born every night on stage right before our eyes...

 

[kenny_a]

Bono was thinking of this during the zoo tv tour, he wanted to be lifted up and would sing "wake up dead man".You can read about it in the book : stay so faraway so close from BP Fallon. maybe now it's actually possible to do so in a comfortably way.
Who knows?

 

[BVS]

They hadn't actually recorded "Wake Up Dead Man" at that point, though I know they had some early sketches of that song back then...

 

[Dragonfave]

4 teleportation machines a la "Star Trek" FTMFW!

 

[digitize]

They will just be born every night on stage right before our eyes...

That's disgusting. I prefer the God's hand idea. I wonder how much that would cost?

Well, you don't have an Edge in your band for no reason.

That's disgusting. I prefer the God's hand idea. I wonder how much that would cost?

With Bono's connections, I'm sure they'll get it for free. "No money changed hands between the band and God."

 

[The Sad Punk]

They should take a leaf out of Pink's ARIAs performance last year and drive lawn mowers onstage.

In fact, everyone should do this.

 

[last unicorn]

Or ride a banana like Katy Perry

OK, four bananas.

 

[Earl-Of-IMDb]

just walk up there, what's wrong with that?

 

[Vox16]

Could this be how it opens?

My friend just saw Britney Spears a couple nights ago. She sent me a youtube video of the opening of the show. Then it hit me. What if U2 did something similar? The round screen slowly lifts up and reveals our boys...

YouTube - Perez Hilton video open

 

[BVS]

This is exactly how they are opening the show Perez Hilton is going to dress as The Fly, Britney will lip sych Get On Your Boots, and then the band kicks in...

I was told this was being kept under wraps.

 

[Varitek]

They will also be snippeting I'm a Slave at the end of Breathe and Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman during Magnificent.

 

[xtrmx]

Well I hope they end it with the screen coming down on them, not too hard though. Was pretty cool at the peter gabriel show in '03.
