U2′s stage is ridiculous!
U2 kicked off their 360 world tour last night in Barcelona, Spain and what a kickoff it was! Would you look at that stage. It’s like it was built on one of Jupiter’s moons 50 years in the future! What is that miraculous, ridiculous thing?!
The band and the crew call it “The Claw” and it’s a 360 degree stage put right in the center of the stadiums that they’re playing on this tour. If you want a virtual tour of the stage then click right over here to see the stage that aliens must use for space rock shows.
As for the show itself, U2 played songs from their new album No Line On The Horizon as well as older hits like “One”, “Unforgettable Fire”, “Pride” and “Where The Streets Have No Name”. They also did a tribute to Michael Jackson as they dedicated their song “Angel of Harlem” to him. If you wanna see this stage of theirs in full effect then check out the video below when they performed “Beautiful Day”. More video and pics are available over at Stereogum.

hi,jarroush
complimenti(italian’s positive word)
for your passion to discuss in music.
.”the Claw” isn’t a ridiculous stage, but you are in the right
direction of description. It’s real that the artist under the
building is too small – this building it’s most important than
the artists that are playing under it.
-it could be negative for U2
-it could be positive for THE GOD(woman)called “MUSIC”.
and it’s positive to compare that structure to something spacial.
–but try to ask to the ultimate/culture challenger__”musician”
that i think you know the name(different for everybody)
question:WHERE IN 2011, WANT TO WILL DO A CONCERT……
answer (for the 80%)will be: IN ANOTHER PLANET!
conclusion: she (the music)wants to leave our planet and the humans
are helping her?(clear motivation: feel music is something too profound for the man of our years)
For me, “the music” is no happy ,
she “swing” everyday
from the piracy to other side (legal)
from rich discoclub to the other side (project for poor children)
from….to..
.
She can’t sing alone.
perhaps, U2 want to save the music?
TO YOU ….
