There’s a term that’s probably been around for a while but I’ve only learned about it recently. I’ve seen it on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. From what I understand, it’s a term that is used to hark back to another period in time.
For my first Throwback Thursday post, I would like to ask if anyone remembers this bad boy?
Known by many as The Claw during the band’s last tour, this structure, along with the nearly 360-degree stage was an ostentatious and architectural marvel. This structure was brash, rococo and most of loud. I was fortunate enough to see four shows during their nearly three-year run and smart enough to bring a small digital camera.
The Claw
With our favorite Irish quartet charging across Europe like a rock ‘n’ roll stampede for Innocence + Experience, one could see the influences that the 360 Tour had on the current tour. I’m not going take anything away from i+e because it is an awesome show and that was because 360 set the bar so high.
In the upcoming Thursdays, I’d like to post more images that I took from the second show at Angels Stadium in Anaheim, California in 2011.
I hope you enjoy them.
I had GA for the first North American show in Chicago. Got in line at obscene thirty and landed on the rail on Edge’s side. Felt like a Mac truck had hit me by the day’s end but OMG so worth it.

Wow, I’ll bet it was a long day, but like you said worth it. I got in the GA line at Anaheim around 9:00 am and it was a long, hot day. But, I scored a place on the rail on Edge’s side and took some of the best pictures I’ve ever taken at a U2 show. I’m going to post them over the next few weeks.
Thanks again for your response. I love hearing about other fan’s stories.
