We’ve posted mostly long shots of the tour that we’ve found on the web over the course of the tour, mainly because that gives our audience the best overall perspective of the show. But we did find this close up video clip of the song “Ultraviolet” from the Atlanta show on October 6, which offers a better glimpse of Bono’s LED jacket and microphone. Oh, and we guess you can see the band better too, if that matters.

Here’ a further taste of shots from the Barcelona dates, courtesy of Mark Fisher, who’s possibly as good a photographer as he is a designer. So unfair.
