U2 3D Better Than The Live Concert?

Eliot Van Buskirk author of Wired's Listening Post Blog appears to have been blown away by the Imax 3D concert U2 3D! "Chalk it up to the impossible camera angles, the breathtaking close-ups and panoramas, or the convincing nature of the latest 3-D technology, but I was really there: watching guitarist-keyboardist The Edge play a Fender Rhodes from a vantage point 4 feet above his head, seeing lead singer Bono's hand reach out to the crowd, and flying through a massive stadium lit up by thousands of cellphones waving in unison like a school of glowing sea creatures."

Now that's a review that makes you want to check it out in person! Not living near an Imax theater will make it tough to take this show in, but I'll be keeping an eye out for showings in other Provinces just in case business or pleasure takes me close enough to catch it.
