The Fly
I'll probably incite a riot by starting this thread even though I am doing it for discussion purposes only, but here goes.
Adam's bass tech, Stuart Morgan, went on in Adam's place for a show in 1993 in Sydney. A number of U2 fans are familiar with The Edge's long time tech Dallas Schoo. Many of you may have seen the very talented blonde headed Dallas on the catwalks before shows checking The Edge's guitars by playing bits of songs. I believe in the case of some stadium shows over the years, fans in the parking lot think they are hearing The Edge sound checking when in fact it is really Dallas and the other techs. The 1992 San Diego sound check I believe is an example.
Just for the sake of a discussion, let us assume the band began touring the Pacific rim in March and April of this year and had maybe two or three dates left when The Edge was unable to continue. Even the fan conscious U2 might balk at hauling everything and everyone back to the Pacific in November to make up just a couple of dates.
What if they finished the tour with Dallas going on in the place of The Edge? How would you feel as a ticket holder if you got someone in place of The Edge? Why if the band has already replaced Adam on one occasion would it not be thinkable to replace The Edge temporarily? Are all members of the band create equal in times like these or not?
I will now retire to my bomb shelter and let the discussion unfold.
