[Help wanted] Follow The Claw's construcion via webcam!

[u2boy_nl]

Hey people,

Next monday U2 will be performing in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen.
(And i'll be there watching them!)

The cool thing about the veltins arena is that they have a webcam up, so we can follow the entire process of construction / concert / deconstruction.

The webcam is located here:

This image refreshes every 66 minutes.

So far i've capured everything that has happened today by saving those images, but off course i won't be able to keep this up for 6 days or so..

So i'm wondering if any of you guys think this is pretty interesting to follow too.. just save an image, upload it somewhere and post it here..



Anyway, here's today's progress:

The last image was from 19.22 so the next image will be at 20.28..

Ac/dc

During the recent AC/DC show the camera grabbed a couple of great images of the show. Should be fun watching the whole setup happen!

Cheers

Nothing seems to have changed yet..well, probably I'm doing something wrong.

It's risinggggggggggg, that arena-screen better not be blocking the U2-screen

Im amazed by that giant screen is almos as wide as the claw

 

[subnet]

the stadium screen in Toronto is about 4 times the width

Optical illusion!

The screen is a lot closer to the webcam, 1/2 way line so it appears bigger!

I've got 70 screenshots so far. Though I am missing a chunk from Saturday I think.
Very interesting to see how it all comes together. The video, sound and lighting crew arrived about 11pm local time last night working through the night and were still at it when I looked at 6am this morning.

I'll compile all the screenshots once it's over with and upload it to the net
