U2 Messages

U2 in Nashville put up a lot of messages on a huge video board that bisected the stadium from the middle of the stage almost to the seats at the other end of the bowl. If you were on the sides of the stadium, you got a great view of these huge video boards which the band also used as a long, thin stage. If you were straight across from the stage, you sort of got shut out. Those seats were listed as "obstructed" view. Here are some of the messages that the band displayed before the concert. They presented a strong theme of empowering women, although as I now scan this composite, not so many show up on these three shot. The tour was titled Experience + Innocence which the NYT called rock with a mission and that was on full display in Nashville. Really fun show.
