More info sneaked out of the StageCo. testing area...
Quote:
There will be three "claws" built for the tour. (Bart's photos are of the first claw.) The other two haven't been built yet, but will be easier after they figure out how to build the first one.
This first claw will be used in Barcelona, Gelsenkirchen, two U.K. shows, and Paris.
It'll take four days to build the claw at each venue.
The towers are 27 meters high, and the claw itself will be about 50 meters high. The towers will be moved out of the way after the stage is built and before the show starts.
The "cover sheets" for the claw just arrived and are being tested this week.
They'll start building the stage in Barcelona on June 15th.
The tour may visit South America in 2010.

To be honest, I cant be arsed with U2, however, having worked in the field for years, I love the engineering that goes into these things...
