LP15 - We're due for a break from the norm

[Headache in a Suitcase]

UF never has and never will be played in full because this is a band that needs to rehearse everything for like 5 straight years just to playing once, so the only albums that will ever be considered for a full album treatment are JT and Achtung Baby, because they are the most iconic albums the band ever released.

I think a ATYCLB anniversary tour is more likely than UF, and perhaps a third possibility if they got desperate enough.

But let's hope not.

That would be third on my list as well, since it was an iconic rebirth moment for the band even if many don't want to admit it... but I would highly doubt they'll ever do a Leave Behind/Elevation anniversary tour.

After all, they've been celebrating All That You Can't Leave Behind on every tour since 2001... so what's the point?

U2's crowning achievements in the collective wisdom are the release of The Joshua Tree and the Zoo TV Tour. those are the only possible things they'd ever commemorate with an anniversary tour.

i could see a ZooTV 2.0 as a ramp up to a new release.

If U2 did a ZooTV 2 they would absolutely be required to do BTBS-RTSS-Streets in the same exact arrangement.

The band did it for Joshua Tree, they could do it for Unforgettable Fire. The band had not played nearly half of Joshua Tree in a long time and had never played Red Hill Mining Town Live. But they did. So its not a rehearsal issue. I do understand the album not being as Iconic as Achtung Baby, but it would be an easier album/tour to do again logistically. But again, the Joshua Tree tour of 2017 was unlikely and originally was going to be just a few shows. It was a one off that happened because the timing for everything was just right. But if you had asked me a year earlier if there was any chance they would do that, I would have said no way.

I think they found with Joshua Tree Tour 2017 and then the Experience And Innocence tour2018, that instead of ramping up demand for the new tour, it actually deflates it a little.
