'We Want It To Look Magic!'

31 Aug 2005
U2.Com takes a video tour with Rocko Reedy of the Vertigo '05 tour production.

Rocko Reedy, U2's Stage Manager, took a break from setting up the show recently and invited the U2.Com camera team on a tour of the stage to see how the productionis put together at each venue.

From seven in the morning, when 17 trucks are unloaded into the venue, to midnight, when they begin to be loaded up again, U2's touring production is a mighty complex undertaking.

Rocko Reedy explains how the show is built - stage by stage, hour by hour.
