alright so next tour, do you think U2 will have a big production with huge props and stadiums and all that good stuff, or do you think it will be a low-scale production?...and which would you prefer to see?
BonoVoxSupastar said:Just a gut feeling but I kinda think U2 may go very low key... but who knows, the feel of the album will really dictate this.
Rob33 said:
well the only reason I see U2 going low key is to draw the concentration to the music itself and add a more intimate feel to the show...
is that what you were thinking or is something else giving you this "gut feeling"?

but the ellipse issue interests me...elevation's heart was cool, and I thought Vertigo's was even more effective, but what is next? are they going to have an extended stage like that?
Rob33 said:earnie, I really don't see energy or time winding down unless they move to really low production type of stuff, like small theaters...which I doubt they would ever do...

I just mean that they spend over a year on the road, much of it doing a couple of arena runs around the US where they do multiple nights in some cities, loads of dates close together, when if they do the stadium route in the US they can merge so many of those dates into a singlular gig. Less energy, less time. As they get older I'm sure that will get tempting. Shorter tours, less gigs, but you reach the same amount of people.

I'd like to see them completely re-energize the rock tour concept, like they did with Zoo TV, or at least get a new stage setup idea, like the heart was.

Does anyone remember those crazy-ass designs that popped up online about potential Vertigo stage setups before the ellipse was unveiled?

You mean the fan designs?

I thought that the Vertigo tour, while enjoyable, was coasting a bit. Sure, the LED curtain was cool, but the ellipse again? We've had this discussion before...
