Honolulu taped for DVD release?

rwolins1 · 12-14-2006, 10:31 PM

On Sunday following the concert my girlfriend and I visited the U.S.S. Missouri in Pearl Harbor. While we were taking the trolley back to the parking lot I overheard someone talking about Bono and the concert the night before. The man told us he was the VIP Resort Services Director for Polynesian Adventure Tours in Hawaii. After the concert U2 and all their friends, family, and celebrity guests had an invite only private party aboard the U.S.S. Missouri. At the party he was talking to Bono about his work with the Rainforests. The guy also said that parties like this happen all the time because it is a Naval Base and nobody uninvited has access to get there.

He told us that he heard that they taped the show and were going to release it on DVD!

I doubt it really but it would be way cool. That show had a great setlist and some beautiful improvised moments.

I havent heard ANY reports that they had extra camera production at the show. Doubt it seriously.

Besides they are doing the IMAX thing. That is the only other official Vertigo DVD/film that will be released.

I was there and saw no professional camera equipment. Sorry!

No Way...watch the video for WGRYWH...NO U2 dvd would tolerate that level of spontaneity.

I feel like the last night being recorded would ruin the whole night. I feel like it would be too static, to 'regulated' to have that great "last night" feel.

Man, gotta have it. Then they'll release an album called U2 1978 which will be a studio version of their BBC Live Broadcast concert of May 31, 1978.

Before you make that conclusion, take a look a this:

Its also the GROSS record and ATTENDANCE record for a show in Hawaii.

anyone can sell out a stadium, if you decide the capacity yourself. some weirdo at this place has decided to rent a stadium and only make 3 tickets available, for instance. doesnt make his band the biggest on the planet, just because he sells out that venue, eh?

I want chizip's mothers ticket.

Well, have you ever been to a show where it was not possible to fit ANYONE else in the building? Again, differences in the size and design of stages, where the stage is positioned in the venue, the number and size of lighting towers and mixing desk, seats or general admission on the floor, all impact the capacity level for a concert. It naturally changes from show to show because of these things.

This show was the largest show in terms of attendance in the history of the state of Hawaii! Perhaps more people could have been fit into the stadium, but how many? Would that break the laws in regards to the fire code for the venue? There have been reports of the long waits people had to get down onto the field and overcrowding in several area's, yet you think there was plenty of room for more people? Maybe there was, but you don't have any statistical or factual information to show that.

Too late. There may be a late ticket drop though, depending on demand.
