U2 360 Tour “Claw” Stage in Chicago

There’s been a lot of coverage and talk about U2‘s massive stage set up for the North America leg of their 360 Tour. Here are a few pictures from the Sunday, September 13, 2009, show in Chicago’s Soldier Field.

The Lawn Screens Work Well at Ravinia

Pat Benatar at Ravinia

I don’t know if you can see it, but there’s a rainbow shooting straight into big-screen Pat Benatar in the picture. When I first heard they were putting video screens on the lawn at Ravinia, I was sort of against them. But really, how am I going to argue against this view and the rainbow on top?

I’m in the very last section of the park, where they warn you about diminished audio. That warning is never true though. You can hear fine. It’s just not as loud.

I was also pleased to find that, even though the entire place is a hot spot, no one had a laptop open. I hope it stays that way.
