U2 Show Designer Willie Williams Leaves Vertigo Tour

It's something U2 fans have whispered about over the past couple months since Williams' tour diary on U2.com fell silent.

Last night in Toronto, however, Bono finally made the announcement that longtime U2 show designer Willie Williams was in fact leaving the Vertigo Tour, and presumably, the U2 camp, for good, even though Bono "doubts it," saying that, "once you're in U2's family, there's no getting out."

The band then dedicated "Yahweh" to Williams at the close of the show.

On behalf of the Interference.com staff and our entire readership, we wish Williams all the best in his future endeavors. To read our April 2004 interview with Willie, go here.

...in kaj naj bi zdj to pomenlo?

Se pridružujem zgornjemu vprašanju...

Upam, da bomo dobli nazaj one luèi, ki so jih 18 let prižigali vsakiè na zaèetku Where the streets have no name...
Do letos... Ccc... Willie, Willie...

[bman]

niè ne pomeni za u2-je, je pa tipèk vidu kar nekaj koncertov in tut kar nekaj je naredil za bend. Èe bi bil kr en, ne bi bil tolk let del spremljevalne ekipe.

Samo to pomeni, pa niè druzga.

Drzim pesti Nikolaj, da dobite "klasika" luci ze v MSG, ceprav dvomim (je pa tudi mene to ful motlo na V-touru, jebat ga tradicija je le tradicija...)

Drugace pa Willie Williams je LEGENDA stage-rock produkcije. V bistvu je on tisti, ki je kolkor vem udejanil ideje Bonota et. CO, kako imeti kino, limone pa trabante na stage-u pa da vse zgleda OK...

Sicer pa tistim, ki jih vec zanimajo zadeve o U2 produkciji na turnejah, toplo priporocam knjigo u2 show, ki pokriva vse turneje do vertigo toure + na tone dobrih fotk (ena redkih u2 knjig, ki me je prepricala, da sem jo kupil) - par sto strani, A4 format, intervjuji z ljudmi, ki delajo za u2 (williams, promotorji, joe oz. sound inzenirji itd...)

[bman]

ja, knjiga je res OK, tut sam sem si jo privošèil. Priporoèam.

Drugace se pa strinjam z bman-om. Vecina "taglavnih" ljudi dela za u2 ze po 15-20 ali vec let. ne bo vplivalo na band glsbeno al kak drugace. Willie je bil neke vrste njihov "stage - designer" je pa se zelo veliko ostalih vpletenih pri tako veliki koncertni produkciji kot se jo grejo u2.
