  4. Bruce Springsteen > U2

    (setlist-wise, energy-wise, album-wise, everything remotely related to music-wise....)

    is the wrong answer... thanks for playing, don't worry you're not going home empty handed, everyone gets a cuddly toy.

    Agreed . U2 have always played it safe as far as shows . Same set gig after gig . Sure they might play a different tune here and there . Big deal . The 2005 Vertigo tour was a favorite of mine, simply because they actually mixed it up for once and played arenas . Not big over the top shows like Zoo TV , PoP and 360. Same exact sets each and every night for those Las Vegas extravaganza . The encores were different almost every night and they used 3 different openers (L&P,COBL and Vertigo)

    Bruce is 64 and is still amazing . My show last week was fantastic .

    Bruce Pearl Jam and DMB always mix up their sets . On 2 night stands in the same city , DMB will play 2 completely different sets.

    U2 , not at all .
  7. Difference is that U2's show is theatrically based whereas Springsteen, PJ, The Cure, etc. base their shows on length and variety. Two completely different shows. Yes, it is disappointing that U2 don't change up their set but seeing a show that is in your face and conceptual is a different experience.
  8. There's no band with a more static setlist than Pink Floyd, and still they're widely regarded as one of the best live acts ever. This argument has been repeated to death here and everywhere; as Kieran says they're totally different show concepts. One can love both and enjoy each in its own time. Would I love U2 to play longer, more varied setlist? Surely. Would I like if they give their show concept/theme up in return? Not so sure. Each approach has its ups and cons.

    True , but this was not the case at all back in the 1980s. U2 played a "straight up rock show" . There was no "concept" . No "gimmicks" . It was about the music . Boy, October , War (Red Rocks), UF '85, JT '87 (Paris '87) , Lovetown '89-'90 etc . This was when they were at their best . IMO of course .

    I agree with Sergio , this has been debated over and over . No need to compare bands .

    Bruce is superior live , just my opinion .


    Back to Bruce ........Im glad he just goes out on stage , and plays 3 + hours of in your face live music . No gimmicks or concepts . Never has been , and never will about anything other then the music .
  11. +1
  12. +167 .. 30 concerts .. and counting ...
