Enkryption said:They can have all the bells & whistles however the music is the bedrock. Given the bands age and the way they play live songs these days and from this era and of course the theme. It wont be ZOO TV or POPMART.
whats your basis on calling this a greatest hits tour?Enkryption said:It will be spectacular of course. However I'd thought i'd make that point before all the comparisons start. The show will just be a show (band playing, fancy stage) Not the band playing moulded into a theme with the audience along for the ride. These days its sort of like a Greatest hits tour with new songs as a bonus. And yes will have its own merits and highs. Depends own ones perception of course.
but that dosent make it a greatest hits tour? a greatest hits tour is if they were to throw in all the greatest hits, without playing the likes of electric co, an cat dubh, glora, the ocean, 40, etcEnkryption said:Sort of like a greatest hits tour the atmosphere. It has alot to do with U2 being the veterens these days. There is nothing wrong with that. They arent young anymore.

The last part of the back wall and the b-stage set up aren\'t due till Tuesday, so, as ever, patience will be a key requirement for those of us up the sharp end of the work force.

this setlist has possibly the least greatest hits since Zoo
Axver said:
Zoo was probably the MOST greatest hits tour U2 has ever done - a stack of new songs mixed with the old classics. It's not as if they were playing The Electric Co. or An Cat Dubh.

You really think so? They average about 10out12 songs from the Achtung baby.hmm I remember CNN asking yer bonoman why don't they play a lot of the old stuff. He responded in his Fly character and said "...a lot of pop kids don't like Achtung baby, they want JT. If don't like it. We don't need them."
bono185 said:just looked at the stage pics and if you look closely you can see the rear of the elipse, and the two things sticking out at the front seem to join together and will be put in place once they have removed the grass?????
anyone else think this?
well according to willie (snigger i said willie), the b stages will be put in tomorrowouizy said:
In my opinion I think the two things sticking out ARE the front of the ellipse. Either they are going to stay where they are, or they will be moved into "Ellipse Position." If you look closely enough they are the exact same shape, size, and slope as the indoor show. If you look even closer you will see the LED's embedded in the floor.
If you look at a pic like this:
and compare it to:
You will see that Willie smartly has taken the ellipse, cut it in half, switched the sides and attached it to the stage.
