Popmart V Elevation

[wertsie]

almost the right answer

Hmmm...There's a right answer? What's the right answer?

now that has been decided POPMart was better than Elevation musically (I'm really laughing while I'm typing this ) the question that needs to be answered is:
"why does 95% of the world believe Elevation was the better tour?"

Because the world in general is a bunch of sellouts, like U2 has become with their sellout adult contemporary album ATYCLB, which is liked by those who prefer simplistic linear instant gratification. I mean, it's really pretty obvious. I mean, if something gets really, really popular, it probably sucks, right? Unless it's by U2 and was released in the 1990s.

Go back to being in denial about Holland being losers!!
Seriously though, did you not see the start of the thread? You're missing my point, I was merely comparing 7 songs, staples of the U2 set-list, that I found were better performed on Popmart. There is no question in my mind that Elevation overall is much more polished and better musically, like Elevation/BD/NY/Stuck/IALW/Kite beat Mofo/Last Night/Miami/Gone/Please/SATS IMO.

But Popmart always did something more for me, and I found it was in those 7 songs, or even more. Which said ALOT for Popmart muscially.

Gypsyheartgirl, I've been pretty active since the Mar2001 on here and I have never really witnessed any Pop "bullies". I think conspiracy theory? It shouldn't be that important. And once again I point out to you it's just a forum, I've never been forceful with my opinion, but if I was, you can just laugh and ignore. It's not like someone is shouting in your face. Relax.

Because it was such a great tour in every way! It seemed even greater coming off that last tour!

 

[Desire4Bono]

Hmmm...Because it's the most recent tour?

I dunno...

Hmmm....then why was there no such glowing praise for Popmart when it was the most recent tour?

NOTHING compares to Elevation, its magic, its power, God in the house, and the HEART!!!!!

Popmart hosted one of the best back to back tunes - "Last night on Earth" and "Until the End of the World". If you don't agree with me, just listen to Popmart Sarejevo. I believe "Last night on Earth" was a great live song (one of their best) and a highlight from the tour. You just can't beat the total chaos at the end. Also watching it on the Mexico video just gives me goosebumps.

"I went looking - so much to see.
I went looking for spirits, found alcohol.
I went looking for souls, and bought some style.
I wanted to meet God - you sold me religion."

I think that intro to the song sums up both Pop the album and Popmart.

There WAS! I remember it!

And, like lazyboy has repeatedly said, this is not a competition!

I wholeheartedly agree with you.
My thoughts precisely.
Couldn?t agree more...

Am I being repetitive or what?

Nah. I just loved what he/she said. That?s all.
