'Sonic Diviner'

18

'He's not really like a sound guy, he's more like a wizard, like a sonic diviner...'

Thirty two years to the very night when Joe O'Herlihy first mixed the sound for U2, in Brussels the band pay tribute... and perform 'Bad'.

Outstanding sound man
It is so amazing that Joe has supported U2 for 32 years. His outstanding and unique work is one of those reasons why every U2 concert is so special and unforgettable. He is one of the most reliable and experienced members of the U2 crew and after all those years he still loves working with U2. He is a true legend! :-) ::>>

Rattle & Hum Throwback
Oh it's been a while since I've heard "Bad" at a U2 show. Awesome!!! And this video here reminds me of "Bad" on Rattle & Hum in the black/white. Sounds fantastic!!!

U2 got the sound, Joe got the mix
The history of U2 is so remarkable, because they have built up long-standing relationships and friendships to the people they work with. Joe O Herlihy has mixed U2;s unique sound for 32 years and his great work has given us many wonderful experiences. THANKS FOR LETTING US IN THE SOUND!

Joe's ear makes the concert
Thanks Joe. No complaints at any U2 gig over the sound. My last gig at Paris was amazing. Great ear, enough said.

Celebrating !!!!!!!
I was celebrating my 25th concert of U2... First was in 84 in Brussels (it was so special that Bono referred to that U2 show: it was registered on the scale of Richter as an earthquake) ... A U2-earthquake that changed my life... Now my parents (65 years old) went to see U2 and my three oldest children also... I could tell so much but maybe my daughter of 13 years old can show you wt i want to tell you... she made this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peTEyfUClG0
