I agree.I hate that U2 went back to the over the top 360 Claw.It was a distraction IMO.An event,not a rock show.It was fucking ridiculous.Im there for the music.Thats something the Stones would do.I mean,would Bruce, PJ or DMB do that ? No.
In the 1980s,U2 would just walk on the stage,and play.They were fantastic.
Pearl Jams shows havent changed a bit in 20 years.Thank God.
Bono recently said, he wants U2 to play different sets each night.I cant see that happening.I dont think U2 are capable of doing 2 ,completely different setlist over 2 nights.They never have.Bono would never be able to remember the words.
We all know,PJ do this all the time.Couple repeats each night.Alive etc.But over a 2 night stand,I have heard upwards of 40 + different songs.That is very impressive.PJ are fantastic live.1 show is not enough.
