It seems U2 likes to have a little surprise in their shows and this one wasn't an exception. The 360 degree screen looks like a regular rear projected fabric screen. That is until about the middle of the show when the whole screen comes apart and shows that it was actually made up of individual LCD hexagonal pieces mounted on an adjustable mesh. The mesh extends to separate the pieces and increase the screen size by about 3x. Amazing stuff. Amazing camera work. and last but not least, amazing music.

title[4]="Tale of the Birthday and the Tire";
body[4]="There was once a gentle young bachelor bear named Brad who lived in a far off wood called Arlington Heights. Now Brad bear had a love for ancient forest music from times long before his birth, and in early childhood, \nand so it was with great joy that Brad bear heard of the coming forest festival during which some of his favorite forest music would be played. \n \n\"I think I'll go to this festival\", Brad bear thought to himself. \"It's too bad mamma and pappa bear won't be here to enjoy it with me.\" But Brad bear was not too sad, since he knew he would enjoy the festival music, general merriment, food and forest spirits. It was while in this frame of mind that Brad bear was wandering the forest several days before the festival when he met his friend from his cub days, Matt eagle, guardian of the forest. It had been a long sleep for Brad bear since he had last seen Matt eagle, and he reared up on his hind legs with paws extended skyward and roared his greeting to Matt eagle perched in the majestic trees above. \n \n\"Greetings and peace to you brother bear,\" said Matt eagle. \n\"I have come to the forest from my aerie in the mountains in the south, to arrange the summer meeting of the forest. Soon ambassadors from the various forest tribes will need to gather: bears, bushy tailed squirrels, monkeys, giants, and river otters (who tend to travel in pairs). A suitable meeting place must be found, and for this task I have chosen you.\" \n \nBrad bear was deep in thought for several moments before answering. \n\"I believe I know just the place. Not far from here there lies a cave kept clean by the spring floods, big enough for giants and with an enchanted glowing pool that will give light. Ancient trees, long since turned to stone, spread some of their branches along the ceiling of the cave to provide a perch for you and the squirrel (so it is not trampled underfoot). If you would like, I will make preperations for your guests so they will be comfortable and well fed.\" \n \n\"Do just as you have said,\" responded Matt eagle. \"And also prepare to be in attendance yourself since you have been chosen to be the bear ambassador.\" Upon hearing this, Brad bear was overcome with delight and ran in a frolicking, quivering circle of anticipation before lumbering off to begin preparations. \n \nWhen the preparations where complete, and all the ambassadors had arrived, the important matters of the forest were discussed with great respect between the ambassadors. Indeed, with each ambassador caring for the needs of tribe and forest it was very enjoyable to share their concerns and thoughts with the other ambassadors. It was thus that the important matters of the forest were discussed and resolved, and all too quickly the assembled were left to wonder what should be done next. For the river was too fast and treacherous for the otters to navigate. It would be too dark for the squirrel ambasador to find acorns along the way, and too dark for the monkey ambassador to see the next branch to swing to. As for the giant ambassador, \"It takes time to stir up my blood for long travel, and I am simply not ready now.\" \n \nNow it so happened, that the day the ambassadors finished their deliberations was also the day of the forest festival, and so it was that Brad bear suggested that all should go and visit the festival while waiting for conditions to be more favorable for each to return home. The most anticipated forest music to be played by Freddie loon (sometimes called \"Freddie looney\" because of his eccentricities). Many of the older forest creatures had fond memories of Freddie loon from the early days of the forest music called \"river and rock\" when these old forest creatures (then much younger) would herd together around a stream as Freddie loon would play his music of peace between tribes and celebrate the love between forest mates. \n \nI'm tired. \nThe End.";prikey[4]=133;rr[4]=20090703;
