Perhaps one of the coolest happenings this year is the upcoming release
of a groundbreaking concert film called, very simply, “U23D”. Releasing on Feb 22nd, the film uses new 3-d filming technology which has been used in filming sporting events, such as the Super Bowl. U2, having been one of my favorite bands since my dad bought me the Joshua Tree album all those years ago, is the perfect choice to pioneer this new technology in a concert film. Shamefully, I have never seen U2 in concert so this movie will be the next best thing. I tried to get tickets for my dad and I to their Vertigo tour in 2005 but they were impossible to get, especially due to a major scalping problem. Apparently much of the movie’s footage was taken durin the Latin America leg of the tour. Maybe I can get my dad to come up and we see this together instead. Heck, depending on the theater, the acoustics could be even better than a live concert anyhow.
Check out this cool widget from the official site to view the trailer.
Looks cool! I may have to check that out myself.
Sweet! Maybe the 3 of us can check it out together. I might have to see it a few times sinces it’s not planned for DVD release.

Awesome, let me know the next time you’ll be up. Been meaning to use that ancient tool called the phone to check in with you.
