wasted Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 it just strikes me as odd that they are singing these spiritual songs under a spaceship symbol of excess. its an awesome stage though, on City of Blinding Lights the whole middle section just lights up and starts spinning around.

GivenToFly Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm not a fan of the band but I've wanted to watch this for a long time cuz of the visuals. I've had it on my hard drive for months now but still haven't got around to watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm researching what's out there, visually it's interesting but it's not as ott as Pop mart. its like live at pompei they landed a ufo on a football field. they coulda done a bit more with the editing like cutting into band members so it doesnt look like a youtube vid. ive only seen half of it really. Vertigo is always good, they cover version ad libs are a bit 90s. awesome stage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thought it was a cool concept - how to get everyone in a stadium to hear the show loud and clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 suppose I'll check disc 2 today. at some point they must go to other side of stage. Boots wasn't a great opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Boots wasn't the original opener. Breathe was and the must not have been happy with it so they edited it to look like Boots was, which was stupid.The opener they are using now is much better.

wasted Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 it's ok, especially the way they use the screen to put lyrics and break it down. no biggie the crowd are chanting from the first song. never really seen that before. it's like a concert of knockin on heavens doors. Disc 2 is more interesting, clips from various shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'll be seeing them live 3 more times over the summer. The 360 show I went to in 09 was awesome. I was in the center pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 that's cool. I'd be happy to go once. the show isn't that exciting but then you get a view from the pit at times on this dvd and the spinning video screens is mindblowing. quite like the vids for Boots and Magnificient. Peppino Carosio, painter is a big U2 fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
