U2 360º Tour Leg 1 Europe 2009 CREW Itinerary (Short term)

Three years after the first leg of the 360º tour I knew about the existance of this itinerary book.

This is quite rare as according to the information I had, there was only one itinerary book printed for both Band and Crew for the first leg of 360º tour so I did not expect to find a book made specially for the Crew.







According to the seller this was a "short term itinerary produced before U2 agree to be printed" so I understand this was kind of a test pressing or printing proof.

The book shows U2 Europe routing for summer 2009, starting on Tuesday June 30th at Nou Camp Stadium in Barcelona and ending on Sunday August 23rd at Cardiff Millennium Stadium...but when you go deeper into its pages it only contains detailed information for the dates from Milano to Berlin both included.

It has a total of 32 pages and apart from some general information related to the tour as a calendar and a personnel list, this book has basically information related to the crew, including their travel plans, hotels and so.








As the rest of the Crew itineraries issued by U2 for the 360º tour we notice that the staff is divided in 3 big groups called Blue, Red and Green Steel that are working as advance teams stadium to stadium.

The book contains two different pages for every day on the road. One contains the info for the 3 staff groups (hotels, travels and everything) while the other page contains info related to the venue, promoter and phone numbers.

As mentioned before, the detailed information covers from Milano first show (July 7th'09) to Berlin load in (July 17th'09). This is why this is called a "short term itinerary". Considering this, shall we expect a new "short term itinerary" for the second part of this 1st leg of 360º tour? Who knows.....
