Especially when you can go and see Dec DJing for free:

The Edge is proclaiming that since they planted 20,000 trees, its ok for them not to really think about the carbon footprint that the tour is causing.

What a dick.

Bono anaw. He's another wan.

Joshua Tree are also doing a pre-show at Rockers.

Christ. That's a lot of U2.

It does look pretty mental standing under it.

Even a shitty cameraphone pic can make that stage look awesome, which it is. I spent 99% on my time there just watching all the cool stuff that was going on with it.

what is it supposed to be, a gateway to prince gig?

At one side, double at the side I was facing when I took that - but it's not a massive 2nd tier.

Oh aye, the PA broke for a wee bit too. twas muchos funny as it happened just after Bono's big political posturing.

So what does the Claw do, except provide a big rack for the lights to hang on?

pANDAS Radio · 18th August 2009, 10:29pm

Provide a fuckin' amazing light show, and the big screen does a lot of moving. There was also a surreal moment where 4 guys are loaded into each leg of the claw to operate the lights. Really, a pully came down to reveal that each light has a seat which the guy won't get back down from until the end of the show. Seriously, best fuckin' stage I've ever seen. To be honest, I'd have loved to see them use that stage on the Pop tour so there wouldn't be have the set list I heard tonight.

It lights up like a big fucking christmas tree. Pretty sweet.

Aye, but then we would have missed the big olive on a cocktail stick.

Forgot to say, Glasvegas are fuckin' BAWS! Does the drummer have blackmail material on the rest of them? She could be replaced by a drum machine that only plays the same beat. They should be on a documentary called When Jesus & Mary Chain Fans Get Everything Wrong.
