Arrowhead Stadium, in true Kansas City fashion, erupted in the \u201cTomahawk Chop\u201d continuing until Bono and the rest of the group returned to the stage with \u201cBeautiful Day\u201d for an encore.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning around 7:30, Beck, energized the crowd, with favorites like \u201cDevil\u2019s Haircut\u201d and \u201cWhere it\u2019s At\u201d while also telling stories of his summers spent in Kansas City and the nostalgia evoked in coming back. Beck was promoting his new album, \u201cColors\u201d, dropping October 13, while also exciting the crowd for the headliner.<\/p>\n<p>Coming out to the satellite stage one by one, U2 started their set with \u201cSunday Bloody Sunday\u201d followed by several other top hits. Lead singer, Bono, known for his strong political views and charitable advocacy group, ONE, used his platform to deliver views on recent events and rouse the crowd in between songs.<\/p>\n<p>The now 41 year old band then moved to the main stage, physically dwarfed by the 200 foot long and 45 foot tall screens behind them. These screens are the first of their kind, enabling all sorts of new technology for an effect that is truly breathtaking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62073 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fullsizeoutput_3c-300x198.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"442\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fullsizeoutput_3c-300x198.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fullsizeoutput_3c-768x506.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fullsizeoutput_3c-1024x674.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fullsizeoutput_3c-100x65.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fullsizeoutput_3c-759x500.jpeg 759w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fullsizeoutput_3c.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/>The screens played various videos as the band performed the entirety of \u201cThe Joshua Tree\u201d. These videos were specific to each song, including a mountainous road to which the audience felt they were traveling down in conjuncture with \u201cWhere the Streets Have No Name\u201d. There truly was not a bad seat in Arrowhead with the magnitude of these screens, which also enabled a brand new 4K broadcast camera system. A dollied camera moved across the stage, filming and broadcasting the band onto the screens behind them for all to see. The effect was stunning and exactly the type of innovation that keeps U2 selling out venues to their energetic shows even now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After playing the whole of their iconic \u201cThe Joshua Tree\u201d album, this past Tuesday (9\/12) U2 left the stage.
