  3. Yes, I will say thank you to Caroline as well. You do an excellent job with this site.This video posting is timely , Rock`n Roll contributes to stimulating the economy as well as the Soul. There are numerous folks {employed} that make it happen . In each and every city the Band plays revenue is generated. I wish the Good people of Ireland would place a more positive emphasis on how U2 is a contributing factor for good there.Just think how much of a boost it will be when the Tower goes up ! The show must go on !

  7. Best tour that nobody saw, that’s for sure.

    And while we’re on the topic, the 360 Tour is getting alot of hype for it’s “revolutionary stage” but it seems to me that the stage in the demo is just a basic circle while it’s the lighting rig that’s actually revolutionary. Has anyone seen plans for the actual stage? Is the circle it?

    As excited as I am about seeing U2 from the Red Zone, I kind of wish that they were bring the Zoo TV or PopMart stage with them to really fill up the football stadiums!
    And what’s with the “in the round” business when they’re sticking the set-up on one side of the field? Why not stick it at the fifty yard line?

    Anyway, yeah, PopMart was mindblowing.

    … could’ve done without the muscle-man shirt, though.
