Kelis was pretty bad in Arnhem 2001, PJ Harvey was just a load of loud noise during Nijmegen 1993. None were as bad as Howie B. during Rotterdam 1997. DJ's aren't musicians and have no f***ing business opening at a rock show.
Of the three Vertigo shows I saw Athlete was the most boring opener. Valium should be a better name. I don't understand the Snow Patrol appreciation society cause they were marginally less boring. Plus the singer should take his guitar to a repairman. A guitar that has to be tuned 5 times prior to the show by a roadie and after every song isn't functioning properly. The Zutons weren't bad in Munich although they did do to many slow countrylike songs. I also suspect that the female saxophone player is only in the band cause she sleeps with one of the bandmembers. She doesn't really contribute much to the overal sound.
Keane needs a guitar and bass player to add more to their sound cause after a while it become monotenous. Still, the y gave it all, especially the drummer and piano player who was headbanging like he's playing in Slayer instead of Keane. I really like it when musicians totally get into their music.
Best band by far was The Music. The only act that made me actually want to look for some of their music. Still, their music is still suited more towards smaller clubs where the crowd can go nuts.

Uggghhh
that was the high point of their career-easy!
KOL sucks.
PJ rocked!
Dashboard? Wha?
Meanwhile Europe got Killers, Franz, Snow Patrol, Interpol and like 5 other solid bands.
The Doves or Elbow need to open for them so that they get exposure and people with good taste (who love U2) start listening.

Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
The Pixies opened for a few dates of Zoo TV, I think. I had tickets to see them last winter, and they cancelled a few weeks before the show so they could play in Boston that night instead. While I can't imagine getting much more excited for a U2 show, getting to see the Pixies, too, would be pure bliss.

Los Lobos opened for them in Syracuse. To this day that is the best band that's opened for them at any U2 concert I've been to. PJ Harvey was actually a nice surprise for Elevation.
I am excited to have Dashboard and Keane on this tour. At least I know some of their songs. Not that that's a requirement, but it's always more fun when you know the music.
Ba la la la bamba!
