U2 360° Tour - Time Lapse

Time lapse video of U2's revolutionary stage "The Spaceship" being built, performed on, and taken down.

[@tonydecini]

I know this is an old post but..I remember being one of the local crew at ETIHAD Stadium in Melbourne. This was my very, very first loadin/out of many gigs over 10 years professionally. I was on the groundlay crew for loadin and essentially roadcase pusher for out yet, It's still the biggest concert I've done. It started an amazing career in audio and lighting and met some great people along the way.

[@kevinkeenan6078]

That's amazing..don't know if there ever will be a tour like that again.

[@rigginhelga0222]

I’m a rigger in the entertainment industry so I’m pretty jaded and don’t get impressed by much, but ... working on this when they came through DC was pretty godamn impressive. Also garnered me my first experience operating a boom lift/condor (thanks Danish guy) which got me into tv/film. Fun fact, each of those legs had 3 follow spots each and I ‘manned’ one of them.

[@davefroman4700]

Almost as impressive as Raamstein's set.

[@rigginhelga0222]

@@davefroman4700 never got to see them live

[@BurningUp99]

@@davefroman4700 I feel like the U2 one is hard to top I mean it took them days just to put it together. but I'll try to find a vid of the Rammstein one.

that was the best stage i had ever seen at a concert it was so fucking insane and the lights were so cool, defiantly the best concert i've ever been to

[@Rusevideo]

What an amazing spectacle! That stage is unbelievable, and it's great having a chance to see how it all comes together. Thanks again for inviting The Ruse to play the Rose Bowl pre-show on Oct 25.

[@MrRofeliak]

That's pretty incredible. Great vid. I especially liked the control room perspective shots.

[@walkontom]

[@atrain84]

Simply the best show of all time!

[@politicallee9834]

The editing meshed perfectly with the music. Great job!

[@tommygrealy]

This video is the best timelapse arrangement I have ever seen.. inspirational..

[@BurningUp99]

That was such a cool stage I'll never forget this tour I saw them when they were in Pittsburgh.

[@plasteringtony]

66 thousand at last nights show in aucks...2 and half hours of light and sound extravaganza.. well done u2 you have taken concerts to whole new level :)

[@vid80s]

Wonderful video!!!!! It's a masterpiece

[@Ro_varta]

Simplemente maravilloso !!!!! Gracias a Dios vamos a poder disfrutar en marzo del 2011 en Argentina del 360 tour !! Sus shows son excelentes desde todo punto de vista, musical, sonido y visual !!!

[@lufermartins]

Estive no show ontem em Johannesburg. Awsome!!!!!!!! Best show ever!!!

[@Dadninj]

Just went to the concert in Seattle! It was AMAZING!

[@littlejoerio]

Este palco, com esta estrutura e mais o telão em 360º é coisa de outro mundo ...

[@RyanWehr]

Saw U2 for the first time on Sept 12 in chicago. it was my 30th birthday!! cant ask for more than that can you. damn!

[@josephlalock8378]

hahahaha. i can think of MANY things!

[@machetok]

IT WAS JUST EPIC!!!

[@TheCalifornia1983]

I love this video due to I'm in it. I do think this was the best show I've ever seen in my life. over 300k people were there.

[@boastboy]

I've got my tickets to the Cape Town, South Africa leg of the tour, I saw them in Torino in Italy in August, it's going to be awesome!

[@fransie07]

i was there to with u2 360 tour in amsterdam 20 and 21 juli 09 standing 2 meters from the stage. just amazing,expecially when these bridges went over our head Edge standing 1 meter from us playing the solo of untill the End of the world than Bono behind us. it was like we were in a u2 DVD of u2 elevation boston soooo amazing

[@madog2014]

was part of the crew that built this rig in cardiff.total madness but brilliant!

[@weirifernan9779]

The best stage in the world for the best band in the universe!

[@TyraRay]

amazing. seeing them in Vancouver last week changed my life. sadly, i did not get to see the claw to much cause i had GA tickets, so instead i had to wait outside from 4 in the morning . haha, its alright though , having bono sing RIGHT infront of you is pretty good too.

[@alexbohorquez59]

now its sitting at an aqaurium in utah as a show peice, I drive by it all the time.

[@kevinkeenan6078]

That was just one of three stages they had

[@vbrasil45]

U2 é uma geração inesquecível......

[@lrfish70]

I saw this last night in Salt Lake City. It was really good!

[@djangob]

Awesome!

[@Xiako]

[@dylmah7]

i cant wait for this concert!

[@kostargr699]

Love the guy at the end!!!

[@TheAnanda9new]

YES ... a lot INSPIRATION, espacially for me, because Architecture is my PASSION, not just business!

[@Tommi6810]

I saw the concert live. 🔥🙏❤️

[@vinsilfon]

Espetacular!! Stunning!! Wunderbar!

[@kawythowy867]

U2 BLOWS

[@OliverPrezibella]

Wow man. I work with the same kind of stuff but never worked in something so big. It must be amazing, i envy you

[@heydoctorwho]

Awesome!!! The name of this structure is "The Claw". :)

[@skullster]

awesome truss work

[@briiansd]

That was sick.

[@UnderABloodRedSkyU2]

This is an Insane video! Really Good

[@KillZappOMatic]

The first and the last part ( Crane and closing the truck) is not taken @ Olympiastadion Berlin ;-) It was a great experience to help building the stage! The Crew was great especially Ludo the old belgium guy... Red steel...

[@NelsonOliveira75]

Fabuloso!!!! no próximo ano em Coimbra :)

[@StubbyCub]

SImply amazing!!!

[@drgordis]

GREAT!!! AND WE ENJOY IT!!!!

[@itsalliebench]

Can't believe I'm seeing these guys at Magnetic Hill in less than 24 hours!!!! :)

[@RyanWehr]

would be pretty expensive to ship that production to Singapore.. but then again, they are loaded. tehy have 3 stages, yes 3. that way they can leap frog around the world. one will be set up while one is being used while the other is being taked down. hope you see the show

[@coutafhc]

@beatlloydy your very right, bono is very serious about the world and stuff like that, but he aims to please, and apparently this is going to be their best tour in the world

[@Vajacsk]

I can't play my favorite video on my ipod touch. It's sucks. But the video is awesome, and I still love it.

[@TimStatic]

Amazing.

[@fabiouno]

only U2.........Band of the planet.

[@TheC3.]

Awesome!!!!! Roadies ROCK!

[@AltenbergerWiesel]

Great - just LOVE it! Watched the Show in Dublin - hopefully next year again in Vienna. :-)

[@charlesereinicke]

espetacular. a melhor de todos os tempos...

[@tdawg6365]

the dude in the beginning just LOVES being the guy who gets to say "lets go" u can tell. ugh i bet everyone hates him lol

[@riffer08]

@gafix Lisboa???? não decerteza... o concerto é em Coimbra... e eu vou ao Concerto... para trabalhar... :)

[@TheAnanda9new]

It´s not "just" a Stage, their is much more Information in this Clip! Especially for "innovative" Architectures. This Construction is like a BIG Mongol Nomad Jurte. I will build my own one, in some years. Very similar way to build, (with a lot BAMBOO and HEMP) like this kind of ON THE ROAD Tent, hehe! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER \\//

[@huehueteotelt]

en San Sebastian ya esta listo. esta noche va a reventar donosti, los qeu no tengan entradas que sepan que en la plaza de toros de ilunbe se escuchara mejor que dentro.

[@chunkOFmoon]

wow SICK

[@HighwayLand]

WOW

[@TyraRay]

haha yeah thats funny actually im going to the seattle show and this time im getting seats :p But yeah i suggest going very early. I was 112 in line and i got there at 4 in the morning. :P

[@RyanWehr]

i know the 18 month tour will run 150 million. Google search U2 stage cost and you will see a great article about the tour and the the logistics of it.

[@realistic67]

The first and last scenes were filmed in B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver B.C. The last date of the tour.

[@Cheguri2010]

imponente ·garra" vivirlo en el recital con imagenes y sonidos es como transportarse en una nave espacial...

[@figueiredoh]

Uma "pequena estrutura", U2 Top demais

[@djunbone]

Eu ate agora não estou acreditando que vou no show do dia 09/04/11 no morumbi!

[@DivineMisterAdVentures]

A Forbidden Planet IT beast - the tiny dream center part of the brain amplified..

[@tompilot93]

It is a stage from belgium:D proud:D

[@MAMICKMI]

dude that shit is awsome!!!

[@antoniofombuenavidal9150]

Que Genios!!😄😄♥♥😺😺

[@SpookyxSausage]

it's funny because i done set up and set down for the U2 360 tour last week in my city and i got a free 360 crew shirt. at the end of the video that guy still had shitloads to do as the boxes behind him isnt even on trucks x)

[@vendex77]

Not a word from them about the situation in Ireland, They are developers like the rest of them, have another bottle of expensive wine, peep out from your mansion , and weep a tear for for the underdog, it wasnt JOE STRUMMERS autograph , you got signed on that book , so many years ago Bono,Strummer handed it to A well known Dublin Punk and said sign that !

[@mulivai6212]

This stage is now set up at the aquarium next to my home

[@coutafhc]

@beatlloydy ohh very unlucky, i am seeing them tomorrow in melbourne. im so excited

[@tiaguinholondon]

fucking hell, that was stunning!!!

[@mautrindade]

@brenU2 thanks! :) so, as far as I'm aware, it needs to be on a stadium, isnt it?

[@fernando43997]

eu .nem sei o que dizer desta musica.apesar que para mim não e musica e um hino .que sempre me faz bem

[@jollyroger761]

Incredibile.........

[@scottburns2600]

When you need to erect massive towers just to jack-up the actual show rig; that's a pretty damn big show!

[@burntorange3]

@Hulfster1978 I just saw it in St Louis....you won't be disappointed :)

[@Marwa.AR2019]

wow

[@morphix007]

i should have gone to this tour

[@59Rosco]

Something tells me that being a roadie is not all that glamorous. Looks like a lot of work. Does anybody know what stadium this is, and where it's located?

[@gavsu]

unreal wow

[@amgelf]

@1der23 are you building it now? It's from last year!!! LOL

[@spidmejiamartinez8640]

El staff fue el mismo para todos los países en dónde se presentaron ??

[@nogodsnomasters52]

What venue was this? I'm working local crew in Baltimore at M&T Stadium with the Blue Steel team. It's definitely the most insane gig I've ever worked. I feel like I'm putting together some kind of six story mecha-tank monster.

[@WETTEKE]

working there right now

[@machetok]

@sonyaraskina был просто ЛУЧШИЙ КОНЦЕРТ!

[@dcdude338]

@KillZappOMatic Hell Yeah .....Red Steel in DC, Ludo was great

[@scottburns5376]

RIP Mark Fisher

[@polacotf2]

agora imagina como é fácil, os caras chegam tocam e vão embora, essa puta estrutura demora semanas pra ser feita

[@TheAnanda9new]

The Stage looks like a SPACE SHIP, not just for me, hehe!

[@L8Music]

@nogodsnomasters52 That's Berlin's Olympic Stadium

[@MoisesFigueroaSr]

Wow.

[@TigerTitan]

Not sure why they call this a 'spaceship'. It looks more like a claw, similar to those in game rooms where you drop a quarter for a chance to pick up a stuffed animal with it and drop it in the bin to take it home with you.

[@mr00mister]

This is Berlin Olympiastadion.

[@beatlloydy]

@coutafhc yeah...I also agree with you...if we all look at our lives (including mine) we all do hypocritical things either by choice or due to work/family obligations. I reckon it would be huge...was actually going to U2'sSydney concert on 14 Dec but had to cancel as my 2 daughters are playing guitar that night in their concert put on by their guitar teacher.

[@jrcstudios3803]

Now roll them cases out and lift them amps. Haul them trusses down and get'em up them ramps.

[@MrBradmorty]

@jennyccnz Yeah same. It was so awesome!
