How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is set to be U2’s most succesful album yet. The tour has broken records for the number of tickets sold in a single year. As for the production itself, it will be amazing. But even now, with less than a day until showtime, it is still being worked on. ‘I’m baffled by how they do it,’ says Paul McGuinness, their manager since the beginning. ‘They are very ambitious. They don’t just want to be the best band with the most relevant record, they also want to be the best live act.’ And now the countdown has begun to their first show on the tour, in San Diego less than 6 hours from now.
