Lancemc said:Zoo TV was more about the theatrics than the stage necessarily. (IMO) Vertigo is just like elevation in that it's really just about performing the songs the best they can will some fantastic lighting (that part is better than Elevation though) to enhance the feeling of the music. Zoo TV was a spectacle because of the costumes, the alter ego's, the movie montages, and the goosestepping Will the stage be bigger than Zoo TV's stage? Beats me. How big was Zoo TV's stage?

Yahweh said:What is wrong with the last 2 albums? What do you expect U2 to be doing DJing at your local club? This is a rock band that has spoiled the fans rotton by pushing and streaching the limits of what rock can be, and now that they have went back to just playing the 4 interments in a more classic sense they get bashed for it...give me a break.
you havent even seen what the stage can do yet?Neilz said:This show can never top Popmart ór Zoo-TV because these shows/stages had a concept! The music at both these tours were made for that tour and that tout was made for the music. It was all thought out years in advance!
This stage is big of course and it wíll be a great spectacle. I just have the feeling that it's rushed! Willie had only a couple of wééks to come up with a design... It just looks to 'flat' to me!
Another thing to keep in mind is that Zoo-TV ánd Popmart were top of the bill back then! This Vertigo stage is something that Bon Jovi of the Stones can pull of with ease! Popmart and Zoo-TV were só big back then... It was never been seen!
So my 3 thoughts :
- I'm happy i'ts not just a bigger version of the arena stage
- I'm a bit disappointed on the design.. It seems rushed to me
- With today's technology it's a nice stage.. But Popmart and Zoo were MUCH larger (in many ways)
It doesn't matter what it can do! I'm sure it can do more then the Zoo-TV and the Popmart stage together! That's the thing with technology..KUEFC09U2 said:you havent even seen what the stage can do yet?
well what else could they have done? theres simply nothing else,Neilz said:

But why does everybody agree then that Zoo-TV can never be topped? Because it had a good concept and a matching design! The same thing for Popmart...
Again, I'm not saying it's a crappy stage... It has the latest technology and is nothing like the arena stage, so I'm very happy with that!
I just have the feeling that this stage is rushed... It is not a 'Willie' kind of stage... Simple painted PA towering with screens on top? A large led-wall backdrop? Curved extensions to the sides? The design could have been a lot better if Willie (and others) had more time...
Technically the show will be awesome.. But the design could have been better I think.. Stacking the PA with screens on top is weird (imo)... Why not hanging the PA on top (in a rounder way) with the screens haning under there? Why using the back of the arena stage, while the stadium stage is much wider?KUEFC09U2 said:well what else could they have done? theres simply nothing else,
