    Didn't do your research then.

    Different gig to me, I must say...


  6. Agree on both counts.

    It makes sense. We have remastered UF at the end of this year.

    Possibly Songs of Ascent next year. They have no gap in their marketing schedule until end of next year.

    It will be released same day as Best of 2000-2010, as they did with the Popmart Video and Best of 80-90.
  7. I would hope we would see a blu-ray version also....

    i`m also pretty sure 360 will be back on the road next year in the `far away places`..i`m sure Africa, Asia and other continents are on the radar....south america?

    my guess is we will get 2disc set, second dvd containing extra`s...making of album, stage design, crew footage....u2 have embraced the digital world...and always give the fans `value for money`...

    gen.

    with the exception of Popmart and Zoo TV I kinda felt that the dvds were lacking in bonus material. Sure there's usually the 20 min documentary and some video clips, but they could always put more on. what you described would be amazing, but I wouldn't expect it
  9. Willie Williams latest diary entry...

    Sunday 20th September 2009. Boston. Show 1.

    Gillette Stadium is in Foxboro, which is ever such a long way from Boston and has the added attraction of being unreachable by public transport, (you can already imagine the tumbleweed blowing across the vast parking lots once the oil runs out). Consequently I took an early shuttle van in to beat the rush which gave me plenty of time to take care of a few chores.

    This stadium has been completely rebuilt since the last time U2 was here. The new design is a little weird for a rock show as it is now reborn with acres of glass fronted corporate boxes down both sides of the field, with bleachered seats above and below. Tom and I decided to spend the show watching from different places in the building starting off way up high in the nosebleed seats. It was a lengthy hike from the mix position to the back row and when we got there we found that our seats were at approximately the same altitude as the mirror ball at the top of the stage 'pylon'.

    It's an entirely different experience from up there and in terms of the spectacle in many ways it's a better vantage point than from lower down. We moved around the building a good deal during the show, which was really fun as well as being highly educational. We're going to be shooting this show some time soon, so it's crucial to understand how it looks from all angles and really the only way to do this properly is to get on yer boots and tramp around the stadium. I really enjoy being in amongst the audience anyway - especially looking back at a section of seats when I know something special is about to happen to see people's reactions. It's a real privilege to bring so much happiness to some many people at one time.

    One curiosity of the new Foxboro stadium was that it appeared that once you were in the building, no ticket was required. When I'm out in the crowd I tend to tuck my tour pass inside my shirt to maintain my front of anonymity, so in effect I was moving about the place like any other punter. Tom and I made our way from the top tier, eventually ending up in the premium seats on Adam's side of the stage without ever being stopped. (Take note, residents of the Boston metropolitan area when going to any future shows at Foxoboro.)

    Being such a long ride back to the Hotel Fabulous, I joined the 'runner' with the band. We had a police escort out of there, which is not unusual, but as a special treat the police had closed the freeway for our convenience. I kid you not, we sped through the night with a completely empty freeway ahead of us. I haven't seen a scene like this since we shot the video for 'Last night on Earth'. Once we had passed each on-ramp, the police opened it up allowing traffic on behind us, so it felt like we were at the head of a huge motorcade... most odd.

    Back in Boston we had a bit of an aftershow party at Revolution Rock Bar, which was fun and a let us unwind a little. I spent much of the evening with some of the Snow Patrol guys who leave us tomorrow. We shall miss them, they've been absolutely delightful
  10. Again in US?

    Nothing against the country or americans...but it's time to change a little.

    Greetings from Brazil
  11. Hopefully they shoot in Atlanta!!
  12. My guess: They already recorded it in NY and we don't know, or they will do it in LA.

    Also think that there is a possibility that they record a DVD in the new Dallas Stadium
