    Every single song on that entire album is pure genius. Even If You Wear That Velvet Dress. One song that I particularly like is Big Girls Are Best from POP. It has a similar tune to Discotheque, of which the shorter demo is cool.

    Another cool track a long, long way away from POP is one called Womanfish. Only ever performed once on some TV show but pretty funky and funny. I can't believe U2 didn't want that as a bonus track on any album. Spanish Eyes and Are You Gonna Wait Forever are two more of my favourites on my enhanced 20+ HTDAAB edition.


    Loooovvveee these songs.

    Agree about Pop. Vastly underated at the time and now, possibly, 10 years later getting the recognition it deserves.
    And I think the tour rocked in Europe and South America Sergio. It just sucked eggs in America.

    I simply don't like the whole concept. It probably has something to do with the fact that it was the tour Post-ZooTV. That's somethin hard to stand with.

    * That's true.

    I probably loved it because I was stopped from going to ZooTV by my Mum and Popmart was my first live U2 concert. I was blown away - I'd only seen student gigs or arena shows before that.

    Aha. That's a valid point.

    But the concept itself it's bad for me, and, what the heck, the setlists are the worst ever. Nothing changed from 1997-04-25 to 1998-03-21. Nothing. Oh, well, the Kareokes

    If we get into the War lost reasures, I prefer Drowning Man or Like A Song. Red Light has something I don't like. Maybe that Coconuts chorus or wthatever.
