U2 dot com
So while wandering around U2.com yesterday, there were some realisations:
— Oooooh. Work on a new album.
— There's a lot of content on there. For example: Willie's Diary. Willie Williams is the show designer (among other things) on the Popmart and Elevation tours, and he blogged them both. If you've seen the Elevation DVD, Willie's the guy who gets all the good lines in the doco: "Dark. Yes. But..."
From his diary on Boston's Elevation show: "The highlight of the evening was an experiment with some new glasses for Bono. Not your ordinary shades, mind you, but a super high-tech pair of specs with a tiny camera built into the bridge of the nose.... It was so wacky to see the show through Bono’s eyes – and, I have to say, also a huge distraction from the rest of the gig, but such a unique experience it was well worth it. The funniest moment was during End of the World, when Bono went forehead-to-forehead with The Edge, producing an image of Edge so bizarrely distorted you’d have thought Salvador Dali was switching the video – a gigantic nose and eye filling half the screen, then a smaller mouth and a tiny body playing micro-guitar squished in below. All live, of course, and all in terrifyingly crisp focus."
— They also have some really nice photos.
