...but still after 2 US legs there will be less people/less tickets sold compared to only one European leg... in fact European leg will have almost as much people as all 3 legs of Elevation Tour!
And because of that... because there were no problems getting tickets for any European dates... while even after 2 legs in US there's lots of fans without tickets at all... I'm glad they're doing stadiums over here...

I don't agree! With stadium shows the amount of real fans is relatively lower then with arena shows...LuvandPeace1980 said:I personally would rather see U2 up close in the vertigo tour
I am going to see them in Amsterdam and Cardiff and fear that I won't get close to the front, I had more chance in the US.
Bu the spectacle will be huge

I was hoping you'd post that here.
achtung y'all said:Most people on this site agrees Zoo TV and PopMart were the best tours and they weren't intimate. They were big, loud, grand, monumental. Just like the European leg will be. I can't wait to see them perform in a stadium again.

I must have missed all the people praising Popmart.
Most people here also agree Elevation and Joshua Tree tour were among their best tours and those were arenas mostly.
Chizip said:i think all the original poster means is it looks like the european show is going to be much more impressive than the show on north american leg

Yeah, but we got to see Jesus play the drums. that's gotta count for something....

Chizip said:i dont agree with people who say a concert is just about the music. if you just want to hear the music then listen to the cd.

A. ZooTV had an indoor leg which was intimate. I saw 2 indoor shows and 2 outdoor shows. Indoor was far superior.
Hewson said:
"Most people" on this site aren't old enough to have seen them on any earlier tours prior to ZooTv when the show was only about the band and its music, there was no elaborate staging. Many of those of us who saw these shows are likely to tell you that this was the best live experience of U2, all about the music, in a more intimate setting, setlist not tied into video screens etc.
Chizip said:id rather see a huge spectacle from a little further away then be super close at a less impressive show
i dont agree with people who say a concert is just about the music. if you just want to hear the music then listen to the cd. its a show, it should be entertaining, a mixture of music and spectacle. total sensory overload, a la zoo tv.
but thats just my opinion.
Let me ask you this.achtung y'all said:
Why are we not seeing threads of 'U2 should go back to the early days and play at the Nags Head where the music really meant something'?
Hewson said:Let me ask you this.
Ask 1000 U2 fans would you rather go see the band play in a pub, or revisit Popmart and play a 100,000 seat stadium with the giant arch and what do you think would garner more votes?

Chizip said:i know i may be in the minority, but id pick the Popmart with 100,000 people
to me a concert is made up of 33% music, 33% stage production, and 33% crowd.
some people just want the music, and i can respect that.
i want the music, but i also want the multi million dollar over the top stage production that has the power to get you plus 99,999 other people all jumping up and down in joy at the same time.
now that is an experience.
