This is not a knock on the Vertigo Tour (looks great from the pictures) or the Elevation Tour (I loved it!), but if I got my wish U2 would really do a “back to basics” tour.
I completely understand that with all the technology that they use they cannot just switch the set list up on a whim (I’ve worked as a stage hand and that would be awful) and I have loved the last three tours (ZooTV, Popmart, and Elevation), but I think it is time to give the technology a rest and go back to the free flowing Lovetown Tour. Will it be as visually cool as the tours that followed it? No. Could it be amazing? Absolutely here is why.
Can you imagine the thrill of going to a U2 show not knowing what song is going to come next? Not knowing what hit or hidden gem from 25 years of hits and hidden gems will come next? Magical. U2 would have the option of throwing covers into the mix or even better for us fans – b-sides! Its hard to imagine in todays tours songs like Party Girl or Spanish Eyes becoming a fan favorite, but they are amazing songs. I would love to see that kind of tour.
Again, I don’t want them to change the Vertigo Tour. It looks spectacular, but man would I love to see them do this sort of tour one more time……
