Nice lesson on Compression from Steve Hillier here!

Not out usual fodder - but how the heck did they get through that many guitar strings?

If you're used to dragging amps between dive bars, this will seem outrageously colossal. But U2's just-concluded 360° Tour is the largest ever in Live Nation history (and maybe beyond), and the company just shared a number of ridiculous stats with Digital Music News. For example...
