TheBrazilianFly said:In terms of touring I wonder what do people want them to do. They have come up with all the new video stuff and all the lightning, the switch of drums on LAPOE, the different kinds of stages for stadium and arenas, the confetti, the many changes on the set list (even if it's a little static right now, which shouldn’t be a shock), the comeback of many older songs, new versions for older and NEW songs (like The Fly, Elevation, One, Mysterious Ways, Vertigo, Yahweh), a new kind of spontaneity on their playing (like Larry adding new stuff on some songs every night), the use of new technology, even Adam being more out there. Damn, that seems pretty good to me. Just because they don't have a giant olive on a stick and Edge is not wearing a cowboy suit it doesn't mean that they are playing safe. I agree though that this and the last tours are a lot more conventional than their previous tours, no doubt about that, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Why turn a rock n' roll show into a circus? I still believe that they are trying out many new things and in the future will do more tours with more imaginative ideas. I think they are just listening to what they feel like they need right now. After more than a decade of writing a whole new book on touring maybe it feels good to not feel like they should reinvent the whole thing all over again. And MAYBE they are not doing so because they simply don't have any groundbreaking ideas right now. But so what? That doesn't mean that will never come up with out of the box kind of stuff for future tours.
Perfect.
My only complaint about the tour is the lack of "Gone." And not because it's from Pop, but because it's my favorite song.
