It's not very often U2 get the chance to join their audience to enjoy one of their own shows.
But that's what happened when the band turned up for the world premiere of their ground-breaking new movie in the US at the weekend.
U2 3D, the live action movie shot in digital 3D during the South American leg of the band's 'Vertigo' tour, was one of the show-pieces of the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
The band was given a tumultuous reception on Saturday night when they arrived for the screening at the Eccles Theatre in Park City, accompanied by Hollywood star and Sundance chief Robert Redford.
The 'Salt Lake Tribune' reported yesterday that the U2 event was a "must-get ticket" with the theatre audience screaming as the band entered with Redford.
It was a rare moment at the festival when Redford wasn't the most famous person in the room, the newspaper said.
"But when he walked into the Eccles Theatre with the members of U2 -- Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr -- and took seats next to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Al Gore, the fame-o-meter hit the red zone."
The audience -- including the band -- donned special 3D glasses to watch the movie shot with nine hi-tech digital cameras during the band's onstage performance in Buenos Aires before 80,000 fans. The cinema audience erupted into even louder cheers when Sundance festival director Geoffrey Gilmore called the band up to the stage.
"There's a lot of love and Irish whiskey in the air," Bono said, adding a joke: "If this festival were in Dublin, it would be Raindance".
Bono praised the film's directors, Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington, for taking a risk with newly invented 3D cameras.
"Normally, you'd try it under laboratory conditions," he said. "We took it to South America with a rock band."
The foursome posed in their 3D glasses before the movie started and the audience treated it like the rock show that it was, cheering and applauding and occasionally singing along.
In one arresting moment, some of the movie-goers held up their mobile phones, like candles, when the movie's South American audience did the same.
At the end, the band and the movie were given a standing ovation and fans later wrote internet blogs saying it was just like being at a U2 concert.
It is now hoped that an Irish premiere will be staged next month and bookings have already been taken for screenings in selected cinemas throughout the country from next month.
Promoters boast that the film will give fans the chance to experience what it's like to be in the front rows at a U2 gig.
The movie will go on show at a number of selected digital 3D cinemas in Ireland -- movies@Dundrum and movies@Swords and Cineworld in Parnell Street, Dublin, IMC in Dun Laoghaire and at the SGC complex in Dungarvan, Co Waterford -- from February 22.
