360 On Google Earth

12 Aug 200919

If you're following the tour as it moves around Europe, there's a very cool new feature on Google Earth - a model of the 360 stage, in situ, at the venue, about a week ahead of each show.

The model might be red, green or blue - corresponding to the three different steel teams who leapfrog each other from city to city to build the stage in each stadium.

We snapped Wembley Stadium, ahead of the shows this Friday and Saturday. Sheffield and Glasgow are also up, but the last European show, Cardiff, wasn't yet there when we looked.

'We thought it would be interesting to put up on Google Earth a piece of portable architecture, which is what this structure is, ' says 360 Tour Architect Mark Fisher. 'In a way it's got no practical purpose... except that it's fun!'

Log onto Google Earth, search for the city and stadium and make sure you select the '3D Buildings Layer'.

God's eye view

What a fab idea! Now God has a bird's eye view of the concert - pity the rest of us have to battle for tickets to see the musical equivalent of god on earth!!!!! Hope the rest of your shows are as magnificient as Dublin! God bless!!

Equal Viewing!!!

I thought the idea for the 360 was to put the claw slap bang in the middle so everyone gets an equal amount of viewing space...not just plonked at one end of the pitch!! However I will give them the benfit of doubt until I have seen Fidays concert. Can't wait....but please please please no stupid crazy tonight remix...lets have the original off the album. If its good enough for the Blackberry advert then its good enough for Wembley Stadium. Lets have a good one U2...see you tommorrow.
