...didn't include U2 in the top ten best concerts of 2001 in Vancouver.
I remember reading her review after seeing the show. It wasn't withering, but it was not very nice. It sounded like she was suffering from U2 over-exposure, and she hadn't liked Popmart and didn't want to like this tour either. I don't remember the details of the review, but it was lame.
The concerts she did choose included Elton John/Billy Joel
, Richard Ashcroft, and Jeff Beck. She didn't include Midnight Oil either, which I read an excellent review of--I hate myself for not making the trip from my island home to go to that one. Oh, man, I shouldn't even think about it. I think they played the Commodore and that holds what, 1000? I need to move to Vancouver or some decent-sized city with an actual venue for respectable concerts!! I could easily have gone to Midnight Oil AND Depeche Mode as well as U2 if I didn't live on Vancouver Island!
Ok, I'll shut up before I get all worked up thinking about this.
