Sneak Peak at U2's New Music Video?

Blackberry (sponsor for U2's tour) has created this video ahead of the release of U2's 3rd single from No Line... called "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight." It's just a short 30-second clip of the band performing and there's a question of whether this is the actual music video or just an ad for the tour/Blackberry. Either way, it's very cool, so check it out at this link.

U2 Kicks Off 360º Tour in Front of 90,000 in Barcelona



I refuse to look at setlists, but from the rehearsals in days/weeks past, it looks like they're polishing off some gems as far back as 1983's War, several songs they haven't played in as many as 18 years, and some they've never played before EVER! Anyway, just wanted to share this photo with ya'll. Apparently, the giant LED screen moves and changes depending on what song is being played. It can expand and contract. So cool.

And here's another one that's pretty awesome. The white "arms" of the claw are able to project various colors that are displayed on it. A big mirrorball descends from the center of the claw to make everything just that much cooler :)
