I like the idea of superstar line-ups. How cool would the Chilli Peppers supporting be! And then a collobarative effort during the encore...But please not Coldplay.


you would have enjoyed the first Slane gig. Cldplay, The Chillis and U2 headlining. Nicw

What would you guys think of a second ZooTV/PopMart thing? With huge screens and an enormous stage? That would be so cool!

I think it'd detract from the spectacle of both of those tours.

Yep, I have their set somwhere, not the best quality though.



Another wish for the tour: Get rid of that "accoustic" part. It isn't accoustic anyway and you ruin a bunch of songs with these stripped down version. I'll never forgive you what you did to Stay!

If it's not the best quality, I'm not interested.

Understand what you say about Stay. The first Stay I heard was, believe me or not, from the Boston gig which was put on DVD. After hearing the Zooropa Stays...I also wonder why they changed it.

I'd like them to play more European shows, especially in the UK. Just baffles me how they originate from Ireland, played most of their early tours in the UK and Western Europe yet now spend most of their time touring America. Just wish they'd come back.

I still think that Please into Streets is one of the best transitions purely on the basis of Mexico (Hasta La Vista). Just awesome how Bono is just going pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaase, a few breaths then oooooooooooooooooooooooo followed by a very loud Streets.

Also love full performances of Streets with the organ intro.

Definitely! Although I can't account for Womenfish. Yet...

I heard the version from Boston too, but had heard the original version on the 1990-2000 best of, but didn't put it together for a while that they were the same song (This was during my very early years of liking the band, so go easy on me guys )...dunno why lol. Personally I love the acoustic version, but I also like the full electric setup.

And I completely agree with what Tim says, more UK shows dammit!
