so if Adam was fine playing WOWY by ear on the previous 2 tours, why did he need to listen to, presumingly, a click track, to play the song during PopMArt?

Roger Waters already did that during The Wall Live Performances. The visual effect was terrific, I mean, he did look like an alienated and controlled by someone else lunatic like if someone were giving orders to his brain during the show, but I don't think he was actually using something like an earpiece or related.

he only had them in for in a little while and desire when he was out on the heart.
now that i think about it, this maybe the reason why adam hardly ever moved on stage. he only had wedges for monitoring until vertigo. now he uses in ears, hes free to wonder while still being able to hear the mix

1.Why didnt he just use the in-ears the whole time during the other tours?
2.He still doesnt move around the stage even though that he now had the in-ears..
3.Also why doesnt edge move around the whole stage instead of stay in front of the mic and controllers? Can't Schoo just do that? Maybe it's because School cant do 5 things at once
Adam never had in-ear monitors until the Vertigo Tour. He never felt they were comfortable/good enough until now.

It was, he only had it during the Discotheque encore, and it really looked kick-ass to meUtoo said:I always figured the big ass headphones were part of his costume.

Otherwise we'd be saying that he never had breathing problems on previous tours, but needed a facemask for some reason on PopMart...

Wrong. Roger Waters wore headphones in concert because click tracks were used on the In The Flesh tour (for Animals), the Wall tour, and every subsequent Waters solo tour. The reason why they were so big in the Animals/Wall shows was because that was the extent of the technology at the time. It wasn't to complete a look or anything, it's just the way they were. It's actually kind of funny to look at live shots of Roger Waters between 1977 and the present, because his headphones get smaller with each passing tour. He has been using in-ear monitors for the past few years.
