U2 gave a tour of their Innocence + Experience set to CBS’ Sunday Morning program over the weekend. The set requires 24 semi-trucks to transport, and much of the equipment, notes the Edge, belongs to him. He says that his gear includes “antique amps” and “Guitar World,” a trove of instruments stored under the stage because “every guitar in the show has to have a spare.” “It’s still valve technology,” he added of his amp collection. “It’s exactly the same as it was in the ’50s. And that is, for whatever reason when you plug in an electric guitar to one of these, it’s just the way it should sound.” U2’s last tour took place four years ago, moving over seven million tickets and bringing in over $700 million.
