I don't think the quality of songs has been affected, I mean I'd happily listen to SYCMIOYO rather than Trip Through Your Wires or something, but the spirit and verve of later shows isn't on a par with ZooTV or Lovetown etc. (or TUF as another example)

C'mon, even you must admit that the quality of songwriting, the spirit of the shows, the live performances were way better in the past....

not better, just different.

Lovetown was the last show bursting with energy. Zoo had some freakin' good shows, but there wasn't that much of surprise...
Originally posted by germcevoy[..]Lovetown was just all out. Most of 1992 was on Lovetown par. Things took a dip for 93 and Popmart was just amazing. Sure Bono had no voice but he had the persona, the body language and the overall essence of a man giving it his all .
. Re. PopMart, just watch the Mexico DVD and tell me the man isn't enjoying himself. Positively jumping all over the place during the whole show, voice or not. And I mean, Please>>Streets, he IS the song, rather than just singing it. And re. ZooTV, I agree too - the early legs, especially the first Outdoor Broadcasts were mindblowing. Not to mention they had WGRYWH

Si signore
This isn't to say I don't like other live stuff, but I just think one should recognise the different in quality between certain tours as live productions.

I guess this situation calls for the immortal line;

haha, you know how difficult it is to have a complete different opinion than almost everyone else in this thread (oh wait, I forgot about song survival, lol) ? but you're right "we get to carry each other" nonetheless
