I’m sure U2 would feel comfortable whittling away their set list to 22 if they could
Rumors that they'll be filming these two shows

I mean... a show about the loss of the American dream. In DC.Anyone know the thought process that goes into selecting a location for concert filming? I look back at where they've chosen to film, and apart from them consistently choosing big markets (Paris, LA, Chicago, Boston, Mexico City, etc.) I see no trend. Some are the very beginning of a tour (Vertigo) while some are at the very end (Paris). Anyone know anything?
Very "meh" on this filming location. American crowds, while good every now and then, generally suck compared to European and South American crowds. But of course they're going to do it in DC because of all of the Murica love involved.
I really want to see the Joshua Tree shows they filmed in SA last year, those crowds were amazing.

It fits.
Blah blah blah
anyway, for the non Americans here - fyi - Washington DC is not a cultural center of the USA.

their promoters likely got a bunch of commecial concessions at Cap One Arena and thus DC is being filmed.
hmmm.... trying to artistically rationalize a financial decision by the band... good luck.
anyway, for the non Americans here - fyi - Washington DC is not a cultural center of the USA. It is an adminstrative/ bureaucratic center, and an inefficient/ineffective/wasteful/borderline corrupt one, at that.
U2 are filiming a lot of locations. their promoters likely got a bunch of commecial concessions at Cap One Arena and thus DC is being filmed. this is not rocket science.

To all the non-Americans here, DC is a liberal enclave where progressives outnumber conservatives typically 9 to 1 (in the case of 2016, our dear leader amassed barely 10,000 of DC’s 300,000+ votes - not a typo).
DC has a unique culture relating to not only its politics, colonial roots, and overall history, but also a more successful stereotypical US cultural center America’s of diverse black and Hispanic communities, cuisine, sports, blah blah blah.
There are plenty of things to rant about with DC sure, but yeah, otherwise, for you non-Americans, DC is a big cultural center of the United States.
Me thinks the quoted post was politically flavored with sour ??
