What's are your hopes for the next live tour?

For example, would you like an enormous, spectacular multimedia tour (Popmart, ZooTV),
or would you like a more toned down and intimate tour? (Elevation)

Say whatever you want...

I really hope that Edge does a solo number, like he did on the Popmart tour

I'd like to hear New Year's Day like it was back in the old days - faster. A stage similar to Joshua Tree (small, simple and effective) would be nice.

definitely need to change the 'style' of some of their older songs for a change... they can't just keep playing the old songs in the same fashion next tour... namely Pride, New year's day, one, mysterious ways... they really do become boring played the same day in day out... sunday bloody sunday should also be changed up somhow... maybe back to the CoH days with the guitar start and bring in the rest of the band later on... also i hope they keep kite for the next tour... in the same fashion as the 5th leg of Vertigo (WOW!! that 2nd solo...) i'd love to see new york make a comeback too, it was amazing on the Boston DVD...

Oh! and my last suggestion... if they do play one BRING BACK "DO YOU HEAR US COMING LORD?"!!!! it just sound completely naked without bono singing that...

Speaking of the Boston video, I'd like to see The Fly done exactly as it was there leading out or from into Streets.

i hope they play more indoorshows in europe in
smaller venues ....
I like stadiumshows but i saw them twice indoors thats way much better !!!
original the elevation tour in holland would be in the prins van oranje hal in utrecht .
the attendence there is for about 15.000 people but
because of technical problems and the size of the stage they moved over to the
gelredome in arnhem where the attendence is 32.000 people .
so the tickets went on sale again and everybody who has tickets for the utrecht shows got now fieldtickets for the shows in a stadium
oke it was a great show and i was in the front row but ... still in a smaller venue the show
was much more exclusive . For holland they played the latest little venue in 1990 in
rotterdam ahoy (oke the opening of the mtv european music awards in 1997 not counted)
attendence there 10.000
so i hope they play the next tour indoor !!!!!

I really hope to see them live this time, so anything would do...but seriously, I've heard the good old classics too many times on bootlegs, we need something new, namely Zooropa tracks (for example the title track is as actual as when it was released), God part II. (with some improvised lines), and...THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE! It's really, really time to dust off this one! Love is Blindness should be taken back, but only for a few times, Acrobat would be great, but only with full band, the acoustic version I heard on the Hershey Tapes was painful.
