I hope when U2 tour again they do a different show from Elevation, especially if they play Stadiums...

I think they will do something different. They were in discussion with a company in December or so about what the stage would be like -- for the summer tour. But now that that was confirmed it wouldn't happen, I don't know. But I am sure they'll probably change again. Probably not ZooTV or Popmart style (they'd repeat themselves a bit, even though I'd love to see a tour like that because I wasn't a fan during Popmart or ZooTV) but different, and probably not the barebones style of Elevation. Just a guess.

No, I disagree. This is why I'm so sad to see this news. If they tour again, I hope it is just like ELEVATION, heart and all, or some GA thing very similar. I loved the tour.

U2.com is reporting that a lot of rumors are spreading on the web, and they will be the first to let you know what is the truth.

I should clarify...I loved the Elevation shows as well, I would just like to see something different when they come around again.

I absolutely love the Elevation tour (the heart was the best thing about the tour by far) but I do think they won't repeat themselves and do another tour like it again... at least for awhile. Should be interesting to see what they come up with.

you are what you is
they don't, it's their choice
I think the choices being made so far leave something to be desired
and I am not the one saying U2 should be the biggest band in the world, it's Bono who was doing that
I have done so in every one of my posts
I even pointed out that Europe got the 2nd best deal so far
I'm not advocating more U2 for Europe
I'm advocating the band to share their time more equally over the entire world

That's what scares me. They are so hung up on not 'repeating themselves' they abandon very good ideas, like that one. The next tour can only be worse, because Elevation was perfect.

lol. Interesting to see how my sentence is being twisted. Hey, I've lived in the third-world. I know what it's like to not get any of the shows you want to see. And there are any fans to be felt sorry for, of course it is the Aussie/South American/Asian/African fans. But my point is that U2 really doesn't owe any of us anything. End of story. It's nice to see them. And I'll take any opportunity I can to do so. But it's a privelege, not a right. At least that's the way I see it. Sorry if that's offensive.

I'd disagree..there will always be room for improvement, whether the band finds new ways to deliver performances to match and better Elevation is questionable but its not implausable
..and Zoo Tv is the closest to perfection they have come

I am with you Stormy. I never got to be in the GA, and I hope that I still have a chance!!
Salome
you are what you is
they don't owe us anything
but I would like for all fans to at least have a shot at seeing them (I know it's impossible to give everyone the same chance)
I honestly believe this band is big enough to do better at achieving this then they have done with the Elevation tour
sorry if that's offensive

What if U2 did a tour in the round? That's something they never did before, with the exception of a B stage for a few tunes. That might be interesting...

Coming from a selfish American that has seen the Elevation show 7 times and loved it, I think U2 should do exactly what it sounds like they are proposing. Take 2002 to record the new album and then tour with the new material the following year. Despite all those still wanting to see the Elevation tour, it would be redundant from U2's perspective and maybe become boring to tour with the same material. I mean they played more or less the same songs for like 100 shows already, could they continue doing that through next summer, fall?

Can we please stop 'yelling at U2' for cancelling the tour. Obiviously they have a good reason.. not just 'we're taking a holiday'.

Actually Marko, we do know how it feels. It was a long time ago but remember the Lovetown tour??? I think it was probebly one of U2's better stripped down tours and we never got it. I'am not complaining, but they havent come to the U.S. every single tour. Granted we have seen alot of them though over the last couple of tours. Technically Zooropa was a separate tour also and that didnt make it here either (but we did get 2 legs of Zoo TV, which makes up for it a little).
Salome, the reason I said what I said about Europe is because your intial post I thought you were saying Europe was being shafted. So I apologise if that is not what you meant. I think Australia and S. America were the only areas that really got the shaft on this tour.
As I said, they will make up for it the next time around and by getting a new album to us sooner.

Well, if anything, my first emotion when I read that the tour was cancelled was worry!
I just hope everything is ok, it is very unlike U2 to cancel a tour. And I am SURE they have a darn good reason. So, yeah, we shouldn't be mad at U2 for this at all, plus we don't even know the exact reasons why they are no longer touring.

Why is everyone saying they cancelled the tour???? The tour was never officially on, thus nothing to cancel! Thus far we have been going on rumours. ONLY rumours! Sure some of the rumours have come from very concrete sources (ie. Willie Williams), but they are still rumours nonetheless.
Nothing was ever confirmed or announced by the band or Paul so like Sicy said... obviously they had good reasons to NOT tour, and let's respect that.

I wouldn't worry about it U2SJ. They didn't really cancel anything. Yes, they had tentative plans and some venues reserved, but there was never any official word, just rumors. The rumors were substantiated, of course, and it is obvious that they were thinking about it, but it was equally obvious that they hadn't made up their minds completely or they would have announced the darn thing
My guess (completely without any verification, of course
And maybe they do just want to take a holiday. What's wrong with that folks? I don't see why they need any other reason than that to change their minds about a tour that wasn't officially announced.
Actually, the real reason is probably that Adam ran off with Courtney Cox Arquette and the band fired him for bad taste!

Ok, now I understand!!! I thought that some of the dates were actually "officially announced" in some European countries. I didn't realize that they were all rumors to begin with.
Ok, I'll stop worrying, U2Utah! It just freaked me out for a sec-

I think this is great news. This indicates to me that they will be seriously working on a new album to be released by the end of the year.

I think the confusion comes from the fact that the dates were sort of announced, but not by U2. Folks at some of the venues seem to have gotten a bit too excited when they got U2's reservation and announced that U2 were coming. (Can't say I blame them.) Then the media got a hold of it and, well, you know how that goes....

I got it - and you are wrong! LOL!
In math, two negatives (when multiplied) are a positive. As you wrote it, "happy * -1" would equal a "negative happy" (or -happy). Clearly -happy does not equal happy.
You should have wrote:
happy = -(happy) x -1
then you are properly negating the negative.
Confusing, ain't it?
