Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
Do you remember the "jukebox" comment he made? Towards the end of the LoveTown Tour when he said to Bono he was tired and he was sick of feeling like the human jukebox, just getting up there and performing all the wanted U2 songs, and how it was feeling like work..
well I was looking through some of the setlists from the LoveTown tour.. and they actually were quite varied. Some songs rotated in and out consistently and different songs opened up the show (imagine Bullet opening now ). You compare that to Zooropa or Zoomerang especially where each night every song, every Order was the same with the exception of which snippet Bono would sing after Angel Of Harlem. Then even to Elevation where now they have tons of songs to choose from, but the setlist is fairly consistent and unvaried. (i'm not interested in why etc about the setlist..getting to the point lol)
I'm wondering WHY did it bother him then rather than any other point? What was in the LoveTown Tour that got him so antsy and annoyed and had touring feel like work and not fun to him? It seems out of all the tours that one had the most variation oddly enough! I've never heard any sentiment expressed about any of the other tours (besides Zoo being grueling, but that's just cuz of the length- he never said he felt like a jukebox)
Do you think it was because of all the press they were getting? Nerves from being so big and getting boxed into something? Afraid people were expecting "too much" going to the shows?
Interested in your thoughts on this.
