U2 360 Tour Comes Full Circle: Band Returns to U.S. With Denver Blowout

By Steve Knopper

Steve Knopper

Fortunately, U2 was prepared for the end of the world. “Sounds like fun to me!” Bono told a crowd of 70,000 at Denver’s Invesco Field at Mile High, after breaking out, appropriately, “Until the End of the World.” The Rapture was no match for opening night on the final leg of U2 ‘s 360 Tour – with its massive, metallic, green-and-orange claw structure and tornado-shaped video cylinder suspended above the band – which returned to the U.S. Saturday after a year-long delay. Even two years after the tour’s debut, its sensory overload impact remains thrillingly undimmed, with lights everywhere, from LEDs flashing on U2’s jackets to the neon-target microphone from which Bono swung during “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” and “With Or Without You.”

The two-and-a-half-hour show was delayed gratification for the Denver crowd, which had bought tickets for the concert last summer, before Bono had emergency back surgery and had to postpone the entire last U.S. leg of U2’s tour. “Things could have been very different. I was in a lot of trouble,” he declared before “All I Want Is You.” “Through the wonders of science, I’m not just fixed – I’m better.” So is the 360 tour, which has sold 7 million tickets and grossed $700 million since it began in Europe two years ago, making it the biggest-selling tour of all time.

Musically, the show was stripped-down, minimalist U2. No machine could match the energy of Bono, dressed in black, who sprinted the elaborate maze of catwalks and rotating bridges, delivering Amnesty International speeches and cracking jokes about Judgment Day. He modulated his voice from hymnlike moaning (especially soulful on “Miss Sarajevo,” an obscurity from 1995’s Passengers album, and the Frank Sinatra tribute “Stay (Faraway, So Close!)”) to sharp, anthemic vocals (“Beautiful Day,” “Vertigo,” “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and the opening “Even Better Than the Real Thing”).

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

The Edge wordlessly provided texture, from his classic ringing melodies in “Where the Streets Have No Name” and “Pride (In the Name of Love)” and the slide solo on “Magnificent” to the soulful wah-wah licks on a downtempo version of “Mysterious Ways” and Pete Townshend-ish power chords on a soaring “Beautiful Day.” Bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr., both in white, shifted easily from the electro-bombast of “Zooropa” to the more subtle rhythms of the closing “Moment of Surrender.”

Trump Lies That It ‘Came Out’ He Won Wisconsin During Gaffe-Filled Rally

Kanye west wanted to ‘cage’ donda students and threatened to punch staffer: lawsuit , trump sues truth social co-founders, seeks to eliminate their shares, beyoncé wants jack white to know how much he inspired 'cowboy carter'.

The show opened with an intense, amped sequence: “Even Better Than the Real Thing,” “I Will Follow” and “Get On Your Boots” (one of four songs from 2009’s No Line On the Horizon ). A lean, tough “Vertigo” led into a reworked, bongo-spiced mash-up of “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” and “Discotheque.” “Sunday Bloody Sunday” – immortalized not far from Denver on 1983’s Live at Red Rocks – was followed by “Scarlet,” a deep track from 1981’s October .

During his end-of-the-world spiel, Bono wryly suggested that it would be the Edge, not himself, Mullen or Clayton, who would ascend to the heavens during the rapture. “But then I’d be here with you,” he said. Luckily for the rest of us, Edge decided to stick around.

U2 To Donate $7.2 Million To Irish Music Education

Tomorrow night in Moncton, N.B., U2 will perform the 110th and final show of its monster 360 tour, wrapping up not only epic technological and musical achievements, but also going into the history books as the biggest tour ever.

When the final numbers are tallied, U2 360 will record a gross of $736,137,344 and total attendance of 7,268,430, Billboard.com/biz has learned, both the highest tour tallies ever reported to Billboard. U2 broke the Rolling Stones’ previous gross record of $558 million on April 10 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as first reported on Billboard.biz on April 8 .

Shure CEO Christine Schyvinck on the Next Generation of Female Leaders in Audio Technology…

The success of 360 is a testament not only to the enduring global appeal of the band, but also its ground-breaking-and risky-360-degree production, which increased the capacities of stadiums by as much as 25%. Details of the tour were first revealed on Billboard.com in March of 2009, when the tour, in support of the band’s 2008 album “No Line On The Horizon,” was still operating under the working title of “Kiss The Future.” By the time it was officially announced on March 9 of that year, the tour carried the “360” title, which longtime band manager Paul McGuinness says is a reference not only to the unique production of the tour, but also a sly nod to U2’s long-term multi-rights deal with promoter Live Nation, “a little private joke to amuse myself at one point.” This was the band’s first tour under that deal, steered by long-time U2 tour producer Arthur Fogel , chairman of Live Nation Global Touring and his Toronto-based team.

Trending on Billboard

The tour began June 30, 2009, in Barcelona, Spain, and swept across Europe before landing on North American shores on Sept. 12 in Chicago. This was the first time the band had played stadiums on the continent since the PopMart tour in 1997/’98.

As popular as U2 is worldwide, launching a never-before-attempted 360 configuration that would put 7 million tickets in the marketplace in a treacherous global economy was ambitious, to say the least. “I remember when everything was first laid out, the production was conceived, and we came to the realization of what it did to the capacities,” Fogel told Billboard.com/biz backstage at the tour’s 100th stop in Nashville earlier this month. “We were in a meeting in New York, we saw the design, and talked about all the different angles. There was a moment of sitting there and everyone thinking, ‘do you think we’ll sell the tickets?’ My gut was ‘absolutely yes,’ and I remember leaving the meeting and thinking, ‘oh shit.'”

Beyond the huge financial commitment the band and producers had made in launching the massive tour (not to mention a daily nut of $750,000 on the road, according to McGuinness), the aesthetic success of the production and the staging known as “the claw,” which literally surrounds the band with fans, depends on full houses. “There’s nowhere to hide,” Fogel says. “It was definitely scary.”

But sell those tickets they did, all over the world, and Fogel says what he learned form 360 was “probably more so than any other tour, to trust my instincts.”

The launch and execution of 360 were meticulously planned for more than a year, but those best-laid plans were blown up when news came last spring that the tour’s second North American leg would have to be scrapped due to an injury and resulting back surgery for U2 front man Bono. Producers were already on the ground at what was to be the tour’s first stop on that round in Salt Lake City when the news came.

Rejiggering the tour midstream was “challenging,” says Fogel. But the team moved quickly from the initial shock to rebuilding the North American leg for a year later, and did that so expertly that they not only were able to put most fans in the exact seat they would have been had the tour gone off as planned, but also found seven more shows, including the band’s first Nashville stop in 30 years.

“It was difficult at the time, but the most amazing thing through it all was the refund rate across all the shows was only about 9%, which is ridiculous,” says Fogel. “And we resold all those tickets.”

The final North American dates are considered by those involved to be among the band’s best on the tour, and mark a triumphant return to stadiums on this continent after the last stadium run in PopMart, which struggled to sell tickets in some markets. U2 played stadiums internationally but arenas in North America on the Vertigo tour in 2005-2007 the Elevation tour of 2001.

“After PopMart, the strategy was definitely to build back up North America, under-play, create that buzz and that demand, and I think we did a great job with that,” says Fogel, who has now produced four of the top five highest-grossing tours of all time. “To go outdoors in America this time, particularly with this production, is a story in itself. This thing, apart from, obviously, the band, great musicians, great music, great songs, was about creating that buzz in the world about this production. That was the hook.”

Now that U2 360 is set to close, Fogel says the magnitude of the accomplishment, which he calls a “career highlight,” is “finally starting to sink in.”

Will it be easy to find my way in the Moscow Metro? It is a question many visitors ask themselves before hitting the streets of the Russian capital. As metro is the main means of transport in Moscow – fast, reliable and safe – having some skills in using it will help make your visit more successful and smooth. On top of this, it is the most beautiful metro in the world !

. There are over 220 stations and 15 lines in the Moscow Metro. It is open from 6 am to 1 am. Trains come very frequently: during the rush hour you won't wait for more than 90 seconds! Distances between stations are quite long – 1,5 to 2 or even 3 kilometers. Metro runs inside the city borders only. To get to the airport you will need to take an onground train - Aeroexpress.
