This is a quote from a new article...
From Bono repeating the same antics at every show (pretending to be a cat, pulling a kid on stage during into the heart, other various stage maneuvers...) to static setlists, are the shows now becoming "too theatrical"?
Or do you think U2 is doing enough to keep it fresh and spontaneous?

The Edge says the biggest fear is becoming too theatrical.
"Like the best rock 'n' roll bands always have, from Jimi Hendrix to Springsteen to the Stones, there's a little element of theatre. But, in the end, it still is rock 'n' roll. It's gotta evolve. It's gotta be fresh. If it becomes theatre, really, then it's lost an element of jeopardy and spontaneity, which is crucial."
