I guess..but I wouldn't bet on it. I give it a 50/50 chance that U2 will come back to America for a 4th or 5th leg.

Australia, South America, Asia probably.
It wasn't a bad special considering it was on VH1. I wasn't really expecting something in depth from them.
Apparently Bono wasn't joking about getting really nervous before a show. It seemed pretty true in the part when Adam was standing behind him and Bono suddenly realized he only saw Larry and Edge in front of him. His voice seemed almost panicky when he said 'Where's Adam!'. Then Adam strolls around in front of Bono with kind of a 'calm down, I'm right here' air about him.

I enjoyed the part about Edge and his guitars, and how he has all the different sounds on that thingy 
I also liked when Bono kept swearing and Edge said "this isn't the Playboy Channel"
It was great to see how nervous they still get

My favorite part is when bono keeps calling the The Edge "the Edge". it sounds so funny and when he says it, he knows it sounds funny and has a little wry smile. I always figured he'd call him "Edge". but not "The Edge"

It'll probably run again, check the schedule on their website.
Did anybody else notice the quick shot of the setlist -- in between two songs it said "Fog Thingy" -- I found that rather humorous -- maybe it's just me, but it reinforced that they are ultimate professionals but find a way to not take themselves so seriously.

Who the hell edited and put this show together? It had a few cool parts, especially Edge with his guitars. Pretty cool how he has a sound stored for every U2 song. Overall though that show could have been so much more with an hour time slot. Did anyone else notice Edge going into Crumbs at the Mexico rehersal?

I watched it, taped it, and loved it! But yes, an hour isn't enough for this.
But, I gotta question...
i taped it on ablank DVD-R with my DVD player/recorder, and now when i try to play it on my laptop's DVD player, it wont play at all. says "D: drive inaccessible".
It isn't the DVD or the player... it happens on any of the DVD-R's I'll try to play on there. it plays OK on the DVD player on my TV where I originally taped it though.
Any idea of what I should do? or is it just that my dvd player just doesnt play this type? which makes no sense, because I play dvd's on here all the time. no blank dvd's which were taped over... but usually ones like movies and such i bought.
any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
i guess in the meantime i can only watch this on my DVD player and not on my lappy. :-(

I thoroughly enjoyed the show, except for what you mention above, that really bugged the hell out of me.

did anyone else think that the "friend" with the ring of ashes looked like Carey Lowell? I thought it was and since Richard Gere was there it could have been her. Just wondering...

Yeah, that and the way they were showing the lines of people going inside for the Anaheim show and they spliced in footage of people's feet walking across the grass toward the Brooklyn Bridge show. That just looked weird.
Other than those small things, I thought it was pretty good.
It's up on u2torrents if anyone's interested in downloading it:

I have no idea... but this woman narrates pretty much every single show on VH1 these days. Her voice (and the way she says things) just grates on my nerves. Ugh!
Anyhoo... I'm glad they finally answered the Willie Williams "comb your hair" question. I didn't know they were doing that at shows (at least, I haven't read a review yet where someone mentioned it... Hmm)

There are hidden cameras in placed in the arena that are capturing the audience. I got the impression the cameras are placed around the ellipse, but I'm not sure.
It makes sense now why they had those signs posted all over the San Diego arena saying that you could be filmed and by entering the arena you were giving your permission for that film to be used.

Apparently they will install - or have installed, I have no idea - small surveillance cameras in the arena. In the special, they showed Willie looking at a whole bunch of little TV screens on a computer and he says, "Using digital data capture, we can shoot little movies of members in the audience."
However, that was pretty much it. They didn't address how it was going to be used during a show. Maybe they haven't tried it out yet? Because I can't recall any concert reviews where they mentioned something like that.

The videos are used during one of the songs during the show.. I can't remember for the life of me what song it was.. but I saw it at San Jose. They show people on the big screens and then the video of the people get smaller until it turns into Bono on the screen. Man this is really hard to describe to people! lol
