We know the Claws have been put in storage for the winter, but we just found a nice time lapse clip of the entire process of load-in and load-out for the tour, from the first truck in to the first truck out.

A Close-Up View of “Ultraviolet” (With Jacket and Microphone)
Posted on Monday, October 12th, 2009 by David JohnsonWe’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.

U2 360°, In 360°
Posted on Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 by David JohnsonPhotographer Ralph Larmann has been documenting the U2 360 tour at several stops in Europe, getting some pretty amazing stuff along the way. One of the tools in his kit is a panoramic camera, and he used that to take the above panoramic shot behind the band during the show in Gelsenkirchen. We liked it so much we decided to post it here.
To zoom in on the shot, use the shift key; to zoom out, the control key. To rotate, click on the image and point it in the direction you want to move. Don’t forget to zoom up to look at the pylon and other components of the rig.
You can also see Ralph’s work on the cover of the August/September issue of Live Design, which will feature a photo gallery of shots from the tour.
