War Child
Okay so I was watching this show about U2 on FUSE TV and they are talking about fans and their expectaitons and concert sets etc.
Larry:...(the fan) they're much more interested in surprises and connections...
Bono: But it is harder to surprise them because they have looked at last night's set and that's tricky.
Edge: That's the world we are living in.
Adam: I think it's all part of getting to new people, for us to have this younger audience you kind of have to go to them and meet them in different places. So you take on that technology and you use that.
Edge: Every new step forward in technology has produced a new genre in music. I think that trend will continue.
Larry: U2 has always had a certain amount of mystery about it, the internet has certainly changed that but when we are playing a set and people know what is coming up sure there is a difficulty with that (image of U2.com webpage on screen).
Bono: When they think they know what is coming on next and you change that it can really throw them.
Larry: Yeah we can rustle up a song at sound check and play it live and people feel like that you want to surprise them and make it new.
Obviously they are aware of the internet as a tool of keeping tabs on their fans.
