War Child
Hi!
I read somewhere that REM had apparently rehearsed no less than 75 songs for their current tour. That way, they were able to play some pretty old but rarely played songs during the shows....
I thought thats pretty amazing as I reckoned it would be quite hard to remember all those songs ie what guitar to use, what chords to play etc etc.....
So the question is.....Can U2 do this kind of thing for their next tour possibly in 2004? Rehearse as many songs as possible and play as many songs as possible during the tour? Or will they be restricted by the kind of shows like those on the Elevation tour where they, more or less, played the same songs again and again?
I personally feel that it would be fantastic if they could follow REM's example but then again, after seeing U2 live 15 times now, I dont mind what songs they play as long as they make fans like us all go home feeling satisfied. So who know what U2 has up their sleeve on the next tour? They might surprise us! They always do anyway!
