On this St. Patrick’s Day we give you a flashback to U2:UV Achtung Baby, Live at Sphere. Working with longtime collaborators Willie Williams, Stefaan “Smasher” Desmedt, and STUFISH Entertainment Architects, among others, the show’s production was realized by the longtime U2 veterans as well as new creatives and vendors. After months of working in this exciting new venue, as it was literally being built, they debuted both the space and this incredible production to rave reviews. The production won two Parnelli Awards: Video Director of the Year: Stefaan “Smasher” Desmedt/U2 at Sphere and Media Content Creator of the Year: Treatment Studio/U2 at Sphere
