    Sound problems

    One thing I have to say about the whole thing is sound problem or not this was the best U2 gig I have ever been too. Whenever my next gig will be I will be queing all day to get near the front cos it was awesome. There is no other way to see the band you love than to be standing with loads of...

    August 20th Don Valley Stadium Sheffield - UK

    It does sort of make a bit of a mockery of the whole 360 thing when 80% of the show they stand in standard concert position facing the front. I still think the stage should have been in the centre of the field and rotating then it would have been a true 360 conset. Personally it didnt bother me...

    The Unforgettable Fire at Sheffield Don Valley

    I never thought I would hear them play this song it was amazing. Ultraviolet pushed it close though the new intro to that is :drool:

    August 20th Don Valley Stadium Sheffield - UK

    It took the same time to get back from Sheffield as it did from Glasgow when sheffield is an hour closer to home. We also had a 30 minute walk to the car park to contend with :hmm: Glasgow was unbelieveble considering there was a major football match on at Celtic park. We were out of the pit at...

    Sound problems

    Glad to hear someone could hear sound coming from the amps during the silence. I was convincing myself that had Edge has such Zen like abbilities that he could play in total silence and still be in perfect time when the sound cam back on. Which lest face it he probably could :lol:

    Sound problems

    Something occured to me yesterday while travelling down to Sheffield. I was mulling over the sound problems that happened at Glsagow and remembering what happened. Being on the back rail of the pit I was very very close to the stage so when the sound went of I could still hear certain things...

    August 20th Don Valley Stadium Sheffield - UK

    having been to Glasgow a couple of days earlier and been in the pit I was looking forward to this show to see what it looked like from the seats. The stage show, lights imagery etc are fantastic and it never ceases to amaze me how people keep coming up with new ideas for enhancing the concert...

    August 18th, Hampden Park Glasgow-SCOTLANDI Posted About 360 Being the New Pop Tour

    Fact :-All professional bands use in ear monitors. Fact:-When using in ear monitors all you can hear is the mix of the band in your ears. Fact:-The band mix will still have been coming through the in ear monitors or they would have stopped or been terribly out of time. Fact:-The band did not...

    August 18th, Hampden Park Glasgow-SCOTLANDI Posted About 360 Being the New Pop Tour

    Fantastic gig I was totally blown away. I was in the pit against the back rail centre stage. This was the best concert position I have ever had. Seeing the band from in the pit is a totally insane experience. The show is called 360 degrees, I think that is because your head needs to swivel...

    Bono's vocal on One

    I agree with lots of posts on this. One is a very difficult song to get anywhere near as good as the original studio version. Some one said on here after the kcuf up in Barcelona that any idiot with hands could play One. I think not !!! The intro alone is very difficult to get right. I have...

    Close up pictures

    I have been looking at some pictures of the Millan 1 show and there are some cool ones of the claw in all its finery all lit up etc. Does any one else think the close up photos of the band look a little dull? By that I mean 4 band members on stage with nothing behind them but blackness. Im...

    MERGED - > Opening night issues/ Bono's Outburst - What do you make of this?

    I have watched this on U Tube it looks excruciating but. If you watch Bono he is holding his in ear monitors which to me suggests that he couldnt hear where he was in the song. Until he asked the band to go back it was fine. I dont think for one second the band forgot how to play the song...

    Farewell thread

    The CLAW - Part. 2

    Got to say the 3d visuals of this thing do not do it justice at all it looks awesome. Just a thought about the whole moving around the stage thing. Edge uses and operates effects continualy through the show. He also does a lot of backing vocals. This will mean I think! More times when Dallas...
