Actually... Jesus would play all the instruments by himself.
"How are you doing that?!"
"lol, i'm jesus."

This is all well and good, to be sure. But how does panopticism factor in...? Surely there's a connection somewhere of far more relevance than this gibber-jabber back-and-forth nonsense.

1. It isn't up to you to prescribe what anyone "needs" or does not need.
2. It isn't your concern about whether I'll be fired or go broke. Clearly, neither has happened.
3. Enjoying this tour doesn't mean I think of U2 in religious terms. It's been a great year, and when I was in college and graduate school I couldn't go anywhere or do anything for many years because I was broke and working all the time. I've made amazing friends, traveled to places I've never been, and have had the time of my life.
What's not to like about that? I don't think you'd turn down the opportunity if someone offered it to you.

And Axver, everyone has their "thing" - like setlists, New Zealand railway lines, proper date format, etc.

look, i'm not taking away from anyone else's experiences by going to lots of shows, am I? You say you'd "love to have seen more." I felt the same way so I went...if you are happy with two and that was what were able to do, then that's great and I'm happy for you I chose to go to a few more. Is there a limit on how many times you should listen to a CD? How many times you should watch a DVD or movie? Don't confuse envy or incredulousness with what is "right" or "wrong." It's a fucking rock band, for god's sake. We live in a capitalist economy--individualism and all that.

1. More than about 10 shows is really bordering on the ridiculous. Surely you see this. Especially when it's a band like U2 who don't do wild setlist variation. If they were digging from a pool of 120 songs each night, I could understand more. But ... Yay for Pride/Streets/One at every show?
Wow, that would be a curveball. I wonder if that's what they're closing with.gmplace0401 said:They just played All I Want Is You!!! according to the brazilian set list site...after Yahweh

Maybe I shouldn't get involved in this conversation, but I want to say something about seeing multiple shows. I think it is great how Ruff got to attend so many U2 shows. Life is too short, and when there is something that makes you happy like seeing U2, and that something doesn't hurt anyone else or yourself, it is totally acceptable to do so.
Plus, many of us on this site got the chance to meet Ruff before shows, and I know that meeting her was one of the best parts of seeing the guys last year. I only wish we'd had more time to talk...next tour hopefully!
The experience of seeing new-to-you places...meeting new people and making friends with people who think as you do and understand how you feel about your shared interest...the memories you'll have all of your life...these things are priceless and well worth pursuing!
