U2 should pinch one idea from the Summer Olympics 2008 opening ceremony....

[asr]

for thier next stadium tour. That is the screens going around the stadium that are attached to the inner rim of the stadium top. In other words, screens above the entire upper balconies where the walls usually are.

 

[BVS]

Yeah, that would be pretty cheap to remodel every stadium they play...

 

[last unicorn]

Bah, money .... U2 should BUY all the stadiums they're playing in.

 

[LemonMelon]

U2 would REALLY have to sell out to pay for that.

I was thinking the same thing actually. And The Edge could borrow the LED lights on his fretboard from one of Steve Vai's guitars.

U2 could turn their concerts into a trippy rave party!

They'd need to shape the stage like a giant Astrovan to do it the right way.

i thought the idea was to have yao ming waving a flag

Bono wouldn't have anyone there that would accentuate his shortness

 

[powerhour24]

That'd be amazing, but again unless they did an extended run at one stadium, like Wembley, it wouldn't be feasible for a tour.

 

[digitize]

I thought of this while I was watching the opening ceremony... they should utilize the scrim, torch, and flying-rope system to create the best, most information-overload-y version of The Fly ever, with Edge on fire, flying around the stadium.

Wasn't that him walking with Yao??

[dal975]

wasn't there some early idea on popmart for each fan to be given a LED-hat of some sort upon entering the stadium where bono could control waves of lights with some kind of "magic" gloves he was wearing? Like the hats on the fans would light up when bono waved his hands in their general direction?

I swear I remember this...

I'd like to see them poking flowers out of the top of boxes.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I thought this was going to be substitute singers/lip synch for the ones not considered attractive enough

Fake fireworks?

 

[Caroni]

That can´t happen singer still hot

 

[The Scientist]

They should take an idea from Motely Crew and have levitating/ rotating drum kit.

 

[coolian2]

Bono should lip synch to Chris Martin singing.

 

[Rosebud]

The reaction that would arise from this would be midway between and
