Gosh U2 isn't Pearl Jam and vice verso. Who'd have thought.
Its funny how people try to write down the pop tour and (probably, arguably ) the current tours and tours like 360 which was especially mind blowing stuff. And literally the most EPIC stage EVER built. And try to hold it up against a no frills band like PJ.
I saw them on the tour supporting Backspacer for the first time and it sucked being at the back as a first time 16 year old kid. You couldn't see a goddamn thing and even the sound wasn't that good either.
U2 builds these megalomania stages to have equal fun while catering to people all the way in the parking lot seats of the stadium. visiually and musically.
They have their priorities slightly different i guess. But It shouldn't be written of as something negative which, when it comes from the PJ f world often seems to be the case. and it saddens me bc i love both bands so much for different reasons. It breaks my heart reading this U2 vs PJ stuff everywhere.
If I were to bash U2 for not changing their sets it would be for what they did back in 2015 when they advertised that they were going to perform two completely different sets over two nights and the pulled the plug on the idea AFTER we had all bought tickets.
