I think it's better than the last tour, but he cannot be as consistent as the old days. On one of the Elevation tours that I saw, Bono's was confidently singing just like the Joshua Tree tour days, but on night 3/4 of the same venue, it was a bit more of a challenge for him. But in my opinion he is significantly better now than he was during Popmart, and some of the songs on the ZooTV tour felt a bit pedestrian to my ears.. but I'm hearing more guts nowadays. There are still those great and unexpected 'hair on the back of the neck' moments which is what it's all about. Today I watched the U2.com video for COBL and I got that on the lineL 'I see you when you walk unafraid, I see in you the clothes you've made'. electrifying.
