The CLAW Part 4 - (INCL. SPOILERS)

[elevated_u2_fan]

it makes financial sense that there is only one screen - maybe 2. I can't see it taking nearly as much time to transport between cities and set up but who knows. Other than there being 3 claws we don't know much else about the rest of the equipment.

thats scary because, god forbid, what if the screen were somehow damaged? Hopefully the makers have enough spare parts in case shit happens.

It has been documented that there is one screen and three claws.

They can really wap out each LED, bolt, arm etc these days so they can fix onsite.

The setup in Milan looks cool as they really look to be in the middle of the stadium as it is set up along the long edge.

 

[ouizy]

my wife keeps telling me "isn't that enough of looking at the same stage all the time".

I have been getting this at work A LOT these days.

I don't care - I am an addict...

 

[subnet]

the claw seems to dwarf the stadium in Milan more than Barca

 

[zooropop40]

The claw can barely fit in there.

 

[ouizy]

Which I think makes it look all the more cool

I real in-the-round experience.

 

[Stingray]

I'm sure the smaller the venue the more amazing and epic the claw will be.

Vegas

Vegas

Like I said, the stadium in Vegas will fit nicely under the claw.

The distance from the FOH to the stage reminds me of the gig at Notre Dame. They were right in front of each other.

Yes! and by your user name (dazzledbylight) you should be truly dazzled by this amazing structure! I found that picture (now of course the wallpaper on my computer) but unfortunately I couldn't make it larger when I posted it on the forum. Truly incredible picture/ claw/ show!

i iz Very "Dazzled", indeed !!!!

my user-name derives from the fact that I am an artist & photographer , and a pretty keen observer how light effects things (& people).

ANd I wanted to be a lighting designer for Rock shows at one point, but didb't feel I could learn the tech - thinking math - knowledge to do so...... my dad was an electrical engineer, and went into lighting.

Besides I my Drawing/ sometimes Painting / Illustration/ Sculpture (assemblage types)/ Photography/ Artisan Jewelry designing & making-- \
but I still love looking at other light productions-- theater, dance & rock shows!

I beats you.

 

[discothequeLP]

let me get this straight...so the screen not only expands but raises/lowers too?!?!

 

[romi]

it's also dating your girlfriend behind your back.

 

[corianderstem]

And watch out ... it's going to give her crabs.




(see what I did there?)

 

[gvox]

let me get this straight...so the screen not only expands but raises/lowers too?!?!

They do it specifically during The Edge's soon to be trademarked "Cringeworthy Headset Mic" moment...to distract the more discerning concertgoer, of course.

 

[kingofsorrow]

@ all of you

 

[gvox]

We're trying, we really are.

Seriously though, when the fuck is the next show?

This delay is unacceptable. How dare they?11!!1?1

 

[corianderstem]

The Claw will come out ... tomorrow!

Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow .... there'll be Claw!
