[The_Edge89]

Gothenburg shows!

These are but a selection of a selection of my own pictures taken in Gothenburg last week, although not always near the quality I've seen here.

July 31 2009, Ullevi Stadium Gothenburg Sweden:
Driving into the city of Gothenburg to find a parking spot:

Arriving at approximately 4:30-5:00 PM, standing in line to see U2:

Dallas soundchecking Edge's cream Telecaster:

Soon...Showtime!

Edge on the bridge with his Explorer!
Of course I couldn't take a good picture from the excitement!

Adam payed a visit as well.

Two pretty cool pictures of Edge:

Larry goes "Crazy" and walks by our little space:

Where The Streets Have No Name, it's (RED) again!

Ultra Violet (Light My Way) !!!

Thank you and good night!

August 1st 2009, Ullevi Stadium Gothenburg Sweden:

Roadsign; U2, today, Ullevi.

The intro song,

Spoiler

Kingdom of Your Love

,starting to fade out...

...which means: Wave white people!

The Claw with a fully extended screen tonight! (bummer!)

Then followed a tour Gothenburg premiere: Electrical Storm

Bono interacting with the audience:

Sunday Bloody Sunday, a really memorable moment for me with Iranian roots.

One, I think:

See you guys in what...2010? 2013?

Mission accomplished!

here's my video of No Line On The Horizon:

Wow! Awesome video and sound. It's like you were on the stage with them.

 

[lauramullen]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I got close up for Dublin 3. 2nd row in front of Bono, but with a secruity guard right there it was impossible for me to take video. They were telling people who were farther back than me who were holding there cameras up to put them down because they knew they were filming

 

[floweravalanche]

Awesome pics! and awesome video! That video was great quality the best I have seen so far. Man I want October to be here now

[anjarw]

I am just back from Gelsenkirchen. I was standing directly at the catwalk and have some nice pictures, will post them later, hopefully before I go to Zagreb.

Great show, but full of technical failures. Many of them I didn't notice but was told afterwards. Edge wasn't feeling well, they also cut the setlist short in the last minute. I'm a little concerned and hope he gets back to form very quickly, hopefully it's nothing serious.

Bono was in fine form, very energetic, great voice, communicated a lot with people in the audience. Elevation was amazing, he sang another verse after the song was finished because the audience couldn't stop singing the Whoo Hoos.

Edge had problems with his amp cable during some songs and it gave up completely during Vertigo, they had to restart the song, but it was ok, not big drama.

Apparently, the screen broke down after Vertigo and didn't retract for Crazy, I noticed it on my pictures, the popping heads looked weird with the screen expanded

Audience was great, I read some reviews, they were mostly positive. The arena isn't a good venue for a show, though. Bad air, only decent sound, the roof has to be closed for every concert. The claw looked strange underneath the roof.

Wow, Anja, I watched your video, so amazing! I was standing directly at the catwalk, which was a great spot and Bono was right in front of me during Magnificent. I couldn't point the camera at him, it felt so stupid. It's always great seeing the band members up close.

I envy you, you know? Gelsenkirchen, Zagreb next... and I think you saw one other show, am I right? well, all I can say is keep us - those less fortunate - posted

 

[last unicorn]

yeah, ok. NOW I envy you...

 

[last unicorn]

Don't

The tour will be over for me next week, the second Zagreb show is the last show for me. I actually envy everyone going to the US shows in September and October.

 

[floweravalanche]

Awesome review LU! I hope Edge is alright, we don't need a sick boy on our hands right now.

Aww I most be one of the ones you envy cause I'm seeing them in October

 

[bella88]

anjarw Thanks for posting your videos great shot upclose too

You had a good spot . Thanks guys for the photos

 

[last unicorn]

Bono said it was the first time in the band's history, that Edge blew his amplifier during Vertigo

They just restarted the song and got back into it again very quickly, no big deal. Bono and Edge exchanged some strange looks afterwards, which I thought were hilarious.

 

[lauramullen]

Thanks LU. Can't wait to see your pics
