It was a good show. I thought it was interesting that local scribe Greg Kot applauded U2 for not turning into a warhorse touring band like the Stones for this show/tour.

the Stones have almost 20 years on that, plus, Stones songs are far more woven into the fabric of society than U2, hence the demand to play them live - it's apples and oranges - the stones are slaves to their catalog to be sure, but i don't think it's about playing more new music - I'd much rather they expand on the catalog and play things live they never have before

If I had to, I would pay big money NOT to see U2 or listen to their boring music.

Ok, send me a very large check or I will have U2 come play on your front yard.

"I dont think they became the band you described until 2002 (and even then, only on the stadium shows)."

come on --the Stones catalog is, uh, a *bit* deeper than U2 -- comparing them seems assinine

the guy in chicago comparing U2 to the stones is a twat. his name is greg kot, "rock" "critic" for the tribune. he wants to be king of the 15 year olds. every time a big act comes through town he ALWAYS has to throw in a "stones SUCK" reference. it's because the stones are already the kings and he just has to be more important than the acts he reviews.
U2 was really good by the way. they seem to improve every tour. it's not as good as a bad stones show but definately worth seeing.
