Unos, dos, tres, catorce! Hola Brasil

Hypnotic. Overwhelming. Unpredictable. Unforgettable. Words fail to describe the feeling of fans about the rock band U2. 36 years on the road, Bono Vox (voice), The Edge (guitar), Adam Clayton (bass) and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums) leave a trail of satisfaction and renewal wherever they go. The quartet’s amazing ability to create success still surprises and excites the pop universe.

On their third visit to Brazil (the band has played here in 1998 and 2006), U2 continues with the 360 ​​Tour, in operation since June 2009, and has a megastructure stage. Morumbi Stadium was invaded by a “giant claw” of about 50 feet tall, which promises to enrapture the audience with lighting effects and to envy. The concerts take place this weekend (Saturday 9 and Sunday, August 10) and Wednesday 13). Find more details via facebook or twitter

File Photo U2 360 Tour Everything is ready for the show. The structure includes a lighted stage, complete with catwalk and a tower of light responsible for highlighting the four bases of the space. A screen with a million pieces LED, positioned above the structure, allows the public to see every detail of the show, regardless of the position you are.

Neither the distance between the musicians and the ends of the stadium is the problem. Boards with dozens of speakers were installed in each of the four sides of the structure. The impression, as incredible as it seems, is that the band is playing at his side.

Misleading, however, one thinks the show is just pyrotechnics. U2 prepared to play your best rock n ‘roll to São Paulo. Hits like “Beautiful Day” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday” do not even have to enter the wish list of guys. Just like “Vertigo” and “With or Without You.” Incidentally, check out the show’s repertoire as possible and prepare your voice to sing along .  ( Possible Set list )

Although the first concert of U2 occur only on Saturday (9), many fans already camped outside the Morumbi stadium, venue of the event.

Earlier on Thursday (7), about 70 tents had been erected. Some people slept at around 7am, others had already agreed for the long wait for the presentation.

Even with all the available, fans can only enter the stadium at 16h of the Sabbath, the time the gates open.

The Irish band will perform three shows in the capital, on Saturday, Sunday (10) and Wednesday (13). The structure of the stage is still being assembled.

U2, Armored Cars and Vans

U2 will have 10 armored cars and vans available to all members of the band and family, said a source close to the band during their visit to Sao Paulo, the shows are on 9th and 10th of this month, the band U2 will have 10 amored cars and eight vans at its disposal,  The boys arrrive in Brazil via a  private jet and, before going to the state capital, for talks with the already announced Preseident Roussef. Bono, who we all know is involved in humanitarian issues, “I would be delighted with the proposals of the Brazilian president.”



A mans life can change in 24hrs

In 24hrs a man’s life can change. This man made a difference between the time he walked this earth. Many have  shared the dream since. To able to look beyond the lines that blur and see that we are all one, we are all held in the hand of God as we move thru this life. We are given the tools to live a positive life and make a difference that can bring change.  We honor Dr Martin Luther King for the work he has done as well as the work that has yet to be done. 

U2’s album The Unforgettable Fire contained two songs dedicated to the slain civil rights leader. “Pride (In the Name of Love)” was one of U2’s earliest global hits, and “MLK” closed the album. Bono has often expressed his admiration for Martin Luther King Jr. in interviews. As a teenage in Ireland, when violence and unrest were escalating because of the conflict over Northern Ireland, U2 front man Bono longed for the voice of reason from somebody such as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Those thoughts and understanding of King’s teachings and life led the singer to write a song about the slain civil rights leader, a 1984 hit called “Pride (In the Name of Love).”

“We despaired for the lack of vision of the kind Dr. King gave to people in the South,” Bono said before accepting one of the highest honors from the King Center, the organization founded by King’s widow, Coretta Scott King.

Here’s a couple of the lyrics, just to cause you to think - beyond today   

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

Written by U2 

Produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois 

U2 will meet Rousseff, President of Brazil

When U2 arrives in Brazil, its expected that Bono will meet President Rosuseff which he has met with Lula De Silva once. The boys have three nights of concerts in Sao Paulo coming up and have scheduled a meeting with President Rousseff was receently visited Portugal.

No word out of Princple Mangement or Live Nation but sources from the Presidents suggest the possible meeting. Also no comfirmation of what could be on the agenda, however we do know that the whole band will not be meeting the President. 

Last week Bono was received by President Cristina Fernandez during the tour dates in Argentina. On Rousseff, last March met with Shakira, who asked him to help design the Latin American Solidarity Foundation, in which the singer takes part, alongside other artists from that region.
