Of course, it helps that U2 have at their disposal an impressive piece of production with that multi-purpose screen. Were it not for the visuals to help the audience along or to give them a “Wow” factor, U2 would have a much harder time selling this concept show to the crowd. It is to U2’s great credit, though, that the story that gets told in E+I -- the near-death, the rebirth, the looking back at old neighborhoods, the willingness to fall from Innocence, the call back home to the wife, our roles in the present-day struggles and the final, tear-inducing coda that brings Bono and the audience back home, perfectly bookending the opening of the I+E Tour a few years ago -- does not get completely lost on the audience. Unlike on previous tours, Bono is not afraid to spell it out, so we can join him on this unexpected journey and get something out of it ourselves. While plenty of esoteric motifs are sprinkled throughout the show for us die-hards to marvel at and dissect, the show is still made for the masses.

Originally posted by Papo:After listening to a fine LA recording (May 15th) I must say that I'm more than convinced this tour is fantastic and the set is working very well. The audience is clearly into it, you can hear them sing along and cheer. Bono's singing is fantastic, the whole band is tight and to my surprise the whole second part is working fine as well.
Pride is powerful and the whole sequence of Pride, Get out, American Dream and Cobl is working now.
If only Women of the World would seque straight into One, but that's a minor complain. Overall I wouldn't change a thing, just keep Red Flag Day in and it's all fine.
my shows are up for later this year, Amsterdam will be a party
