War Child
Preface:
This is a response to a post that was closed just today.
I agree opinions are great things, but opinions when shared with hundreds of U2 fans should atleast entertain some core factors. Cause if they don't then that’s why people get edgy
I feel the post was really just someones self serving opinion of why the vertigo tour was poop and I feel so strongly that it wasn't as I attended 3 shows in Europe.. anyways here is my response
First: Ever since Popmart (Read U2: A Live Concert Documentary) U2 have been a little hesitant about doing outdoor shows in the US.
Second: of all I feel that with all the Wars and Politics which are raging the past 5 years that U2 wanted to make the show a more politcally recognisable show. There is frustration and anger in the show.. a sense of ugency. There is only one song (BTBS) on the Elevation tour which even had anything like this.
Third: feelings about why the indoor stage was very similar to the Elevation stage are simple, it worked.. why ruin a good thing, I like the outdoor stage more however but I am bias.U2 also did this with a similar b-stage that they had on ZOO TV for Popmart so history repeats.
Fourth: Alot of it would also lie around the fact that they were trying to keep the intimacy and heart in the show much like Elevation. Elevation to me was also about security or consilidation and a clean slate to take off on for the band.
Also if this about U2 doing another ZOO TV and being a big political controversial middle finger puller I think you could have it all wrong
I myself sit there and I watch ZOO TV and I dream of U2 doing something that bold and daring again. But we have to get back to Earth. If U2 did anything like that now people would just say ‘Yeah we know whats your point’
I think the 90’s with U2’s help brought a lot of attention back to Politics the media etc.. and most people have this stuff on their mind all the time, but I think U2 and The Vertigo Tour are about taking it from your mind or your heart and putting it into action.
Anyone who has seen a Vertigo show put your hand up if you agree with my last statement
