Ok-kay...
1. I think that R&H the movie is a bore apart from a few great live performances and that the band comes off looking like a bunch of over-earnest dullards.
2. I vastly prefer album version of Streets and think that apart from the amazing, celestial opening it sounds pretty hollow live.
3. ZooTV in Sydney is the worst-looking live DVD U2 ever made. I love the concert itself but I really have to try and ignore the awful colours and contrast,
4. Zooropa and POP are not anywhere as experimental and innovative as some fans make them out to be.
5. So Cruel, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses and Trying to Throw Your Arms bore me to tears.
6. Bono really irritates me sometimes with his politician-like ability to duck answering the hard questions, especially when it comes to his Third World work.
7. I think that HTDAAB is U2's most consistent album. Not the best or my favourite, just the one without any truly weak tracks and most songs running from good to great even though its highs rarely match the other albums'.
8. I couldn't care less if they ever play Acrobat live or not.
9. ZooTV version of The Fly is pretty mmeh.
10. I don't care if U2 accept corporate sponsorship for their tours or not.
11. I prefer UF over JT.
12. I think that Bono's speech in the middle of Silver and Gold is bloody embarrassing.

Well, I enjoy talking to fans of any band member, or fans of no particular band member, or all of them... but yes, I clearly am something of an Adam fan
And you see threads like you mention in PLEBAns, and possibly also Lemonade Stand, although I don't go there so much. Not stickied, but there nonetheless. The main forum(s) probably is(are) too large, and I can understand people not wanting to discuss it in any case.
i think i know more about music than all of you and will share my opinion as if it is fact, even though i know full well that musical taste is objective.
so HA!
so HA!

Oh god, me too. Most of the non-music bits in that movie make me cringe and cover my eyes.
Re: Loved the Zoo
I have a very large collection of bootlegs.
Yes, I know some people say you can't judge from a bootleg. I maintain that is entirely subjective and relative to how you experience a show. I personally find my judgement of a show/tour/band does not change because the factors that influence my judgement are present to the same degree on a decent quality bootleg as they are in person.

i also have a big boot collection and i would have agreed with you but all that changed after honolulu.
if you listen to the boot (i've got crisedge which is decent) you would say it was ok but not great.
but man, it was amazing - the vibe, the purple haze, PJ, the mike guy playing Wild Horses, Maddy on stage!, Billy Joe, Eddie Rockin in the Free World...
so based on the music you might say one thing but being there - there is no substitute - it's more than the music, the setlist, it's the WHOLE EXPERIENCE
man
i guess we can agree to disagree... thanks for the info and doing the setlist parties and the web page.

There is no substitute for being at a show. A bootleg, a pro shot and even official DVD's are not the same as being there.
Not to start trouble, but I have seen some of the aud. clips of the Vertigo NZ shows. THe only part that comes accross as exceptional on this is One Tree Hill. Otherwise it seems like any other 5th leg Vertigo show.
I'm sure those that attended would disagree though. I also remember certain members that did attend those shows say they didnt want to hear the bootlegs of them because it would not do them justice. 
Interesting. Just like Milan, the official version seems flat to me. I doubt the show was flat though if you were there.

That's because there aren't any good videos of the balloon release during Streets from Auckland I.

the first time i heard WOWY, i was 11, and i taught it was a woman singing. until i found out it was U2. then when i saw the video, i was like huh? that's a chick, that's not bono.
Actually, the bar I really dislike is the Crunchie Bar. It's good for about a bite and a half, then it gets old. By the time you finish and have a pound of hard stuff stuck in your teeth, you wish you'd bought a different bar.

Exactly. You can't judge a tour, a show because of a bootleg, a video or a setlist on a computer screen.

Meanwhile at the stadium in Auckland Bullet is rocking out.

Now back to worshipping at the shrine of the most holiest of holies....THE AERO BAR....especially the mint varietyrools:
Is the aero bar the white chocolate one? Becuase I used to LOVE those when I was younger, and never can seem ot coax myself into buying one now because I'm afraid it'll be too sweet
