I wonder how many Kurecks Bono will be at the weigh-in? Any guesses?

Was at "ooo two" on Saturday and eventhough I'm not a die hard fan it was an amazing concert probably one of the best I've ever been at. They surely know how to put on a show. The stage was absolutely massive and a huge screen which curved around the full 360 of hte stage over their heads.


I've added a link to Utube to try and give ye an idea of scale

Just to give a better idea of scale of the screan I found this on boards.ie

By the way the screen is at it's lowest point here and could move up and down and expand by a lattice type framework. Look closely at the lads faces and you'll see all the divides. This would cause the screen to split into hundreds of parts to double the height of the screen yet the picture was not distorted so obviously some groovy software was used for that

That reminds me of the trial of General Zod from the start of Superman. "Guilty!"

Thanks for the videos and photo. It must have been spectacular. Edge looks like he came straight from a painting nixer :)
