I've had enough of these threads about "stop complaining", "stop whining", "quit your bitching", "don't comment on a show if you haven't seen it", etc. etc.
I've also had enough of the threads saying "drop elevation", "pride sucks", "why don't they play heartland?"
etc. etc.
everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course. this is a message board after all.
why don't we all just agree that:
1. U2 is not a band that has completely different setlists every night; they work out a basic framework and only then are small changes made. this is not a band that will go out on stage and pull "acrobat" out of their hats without at least 2-3 months of rehearsal.
2. U2 is one of the greatest live acts of all time; some would say the greatest live act touring today. catching them in concert is usually a magical experience. what they lack in variety and spotiniety, they make up for in raw emotion and connection with the audience. I feel lucky to be seeing them.
on a side note:
1. U2 are my favorite rock band of all time and I like their music the best.
2. bono is a nitwit for proclaiming out loud that "U2 is the greatest band in the world"; there is no such thing.
peace.
