U2 360º Tour Leg 2 US 2009 CREW Itinerary



As I mentioned on the 360º US 2nd Leg Itineray book entry, there was a second itinerary book for this leg. Apart from the one printed for the band and their management, a different book was specifically printed for the crew. So the band and the management people were using one and the rest of the crew working on the tour were handed copies of this white one I'm talking about and I'm showing on the pictures. 

This book has no information related to the band itself but plenty of information related to the crew, their travel plans, hotels and so. I think this is a way to protect the band information and keep it for a very few people only.


So the info contained on this book is probably not as interesting as the one on the band itinerary but it is still nice to have a look in order to understand how a massive tour like the 360º works.


















Apart from general info related to the tour as a calendar, personnel list, companies involved on the leg the most interesting thing we notice is that the crew is divided in 3 big groups called Blue, Red and Green Steel. Every "day page" of the itinerary details all the info related to hotels, travels and everything for every one of those three groups.
















So while Green Steel group was already working on September 2nd (Traveling to Chicago), Red Steel group didn't travel to Toronto until September 9th and the final group called Blue Steel stayed at home until the 12th when they flew to Boston.


All in all a lot of info that as I said is helpful to understand how life on the road is for the nearly 300 people involved on this tour.
