I vote: "I'm Fried"

(I've been meaning to watch this part of the video over and over,
really!, I'm not certain what he's mouthing, however:)
How many takes did it take to CAPTURE this video?

It is incredible.
Go to:
http://www.interference.com/
this site has a great article (thanks, Deseree).

But: How many takes????

(there is only one visible edit: the white light flash with the backup
singers...uh...forget their names)

ST is an intense video to coordinate
(although I imagine that the "IGWSHA" video was much harder on
Bono...less external coordinating...and more coffee)

I can imagine several "takes" on this video.
Several miscues.
False starts.
If,
after three minutes,
and several previous "takes,"
Kevin Godley was yelling "Keep smiling guys (to Adam, Larry and Edge),
keep looking at the camera, a bit more, okay, that's a take!"
I'm confident I'd say, "I'm fried."
