LED jackets??

[zooropop40]

Hey so maybe Im late to the party but from recent videos of Denver I see that Bono, Edge, and Adam have started wearing LED jackets from about Zooropa - Crazy (I think).

Watch here if you havent seen itgo to around 5:30 onward to see jackets)

YouTube - ‪U2 360 Tour - Private NetJets Show - Denver, CO - May 20, 2011‬‏

Im not sure what I think of this, I mean Bono has always had the LED jacket for the encore but the whole band wearing it during the main set seems kinda hooky to me. Though, I will reserve judgment till I see them live in a month.

What does everyone else think?

They didn't wear the LED Jackets in Salt Lake City. I was surprised they didn't stick with them.

It seemed like a pretty small and random element to add so late in the game?

I thought you were talking about the Ultraviolet jacket with red lasers, these LED jackets look great though, really nice match with COBL.

hmm... after watching that video the jackets are growing on me

 

[canedge]

they are indeed a 'suit of lights'

the LED jackets looked awesome on stage! I know some people diss them, and I think I would have done the same had I not had the opportunity to see them in Denver. They just work, especially since they started wearing them for Zooropa/COBL.

Spoiler

and I think Adam's white one looked sooo much better than the black one on Larry/Edge/Bono. But those flashing lights were just wow...

I loved them in Winnipeg, as opposed to them playing Zooropa in the dark.

So Adam has a white version? 2:20 mark in the video above. In some online videos it doesn't pick up very well.

 

[ryancoke71]

Yes, his is white and the rest are black. It blends right in with his clothing.

Larry: "I want no part in this crazy jacket bullshit just let me play the fucking drums!"
