U2 crew holds press conference
NewsOK's Angi Bruss and The Oklahoman's George Lang interview Jake Berry.
U2 brings its 360 world tour to Norman on Sunday. Today there was a production media opportunity which included Q&A with tour production personnel, b-roll and still photography of production and stage.
We also were provided interviews with Craig Evans: U2 360° TOUR Director/SVP Global Operations ˆ Live Nation Global Touring and Jake Berry: U2 360° TOUR Production Manager.
The stage is absolutely massive. From outside the stadium, it lurks over the scoreboard. From inside, it’s simply overwhelming.
This is going to be a good show.
This is going to be cool

This won’t end well
It’s how we do video, people.
Steve Lackmeyer, Tanner Herriott and myself in downtown OKC for an upcoming OKC Central video.

3 things about U2
In September, U2′s tour management sent out a highly polished EPK (electronic press kit) promoting the US leg of the tour. The above clip uses b-roll and sound from the EPK.
U2 plays in Norman on Sunday. I’ve seen U2 countless times, starting with the PopMart tour at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
On Saturday, we are taking part in the media tour of the stage. So we’ll get an up close look at the monster construction and talk with the people who make it happen.
