Tell Me :
Talk
A band that sells out every show on their tours and still creates (and releases) new music is "officially done" because they're going to play a handful of shows during a tour in a structure built for music in Las Vegas?
That's extremely entertaining.
I feel like once a band goes the route of the Vegas residency some sense of credibility is gone. But that's just my own opinion. We whine a lot about the Vegas Stones, but one thing they've never done is a Vegas Residency. Can't really see that happening.
I'm curious as to how many other non-American acts have had residencies there?? I know Celine and Shania come to mind instantly. Adele just rescheduled her shows. Can't come up with any others....
And much like many on here decry that the boys haven't produced a good album since TY, I don't really think U2 have done anything great since Zooropa, which was really just a continuation of Achtung.

Didn't Aerosmith have one? And I may be misremembering but Elton a while back?
...AND, All That You Can't Leave Behind is a fabulous album.

I know a lot of American acts that do - Cher, Aerosmith, Brooks & Dunn. Didn't Garth Brooks as well? Forgot about Elton.
ATYCLB I thought was incredibly boring. A matter of taste as always. It was the last album I bought of theirs. The only song I've even liked since Zooropa is Vertigo. For me, I think they are in a similar vein as the boys, in that they had 4 really stellar albums - The Joshua Tree, Rattle & Hum, Achtung, and Zooropa. And they've never quite gotten back to those glory times.
Let's be clear - I am in NO WAY comparing U2 to the Stones. I'm saying there's a similar correlation, IMO, of them also having a Big Four if you will.
Has Billy Joel lost his credibility?
What is your foundation for what determines credibility?
What's your idea of what residency means?
The Vegas tag about the Stones has nothing to do with them (ever) playing Vegas, it's just about the culture of the shows.
There's always gonna be whoever saying whatever about how good something is after TATTOO YOU etc. Critically is one thing, as a fan is completely different.
Same with U2.
It's one thing to love an album as a fan, it's another to say 'But it's their BEST!' when critically it isn't and even that should be admitted or at least acknowledged by that fan (UNDERCOVER is a perfect example).
No, Billy Joel never had any credibility.
He was always just an entertainer.
The Stones, U2, and many other rock stars had credibility because they had a significant impact on the broader culture, and pursued their careers as art and not just commerce. U2, in particular, has strived for a political and cultural impact.
Vegas has always been about commerce, and nothing else. So I have to agree that a Vegas residency is a sign that a band has lost its credibility, as that term is commonly understood.

Rod Stewart. I went to one of his shows & it was surprisingly good. Great band & he did mostly the stuff you want to hear by him. & I saw Van Morrison on a residency, too. The room they built for Celine is great. Excellent sound & sight lines.
No, of course - it's easy to goof quoting up. I do it often! In fact, it looks like I did it to yours when I said about fixing your quotes!
Which... I don't understand.

Good question.
Yes they are building an MSG Sphere in Stratford, east London.

For me Billy Joel has not lost any cred. Playing the Garden once a month indefinitely was a brilliant idea, and he hasn’t put out anything in roughly 30 years, though I wish he would. It’s different musical tastes is all. I don’t think his art form is any less than that of the Stones and I don’t view him as just an entertainer. I actually think I have more respect for him than the boys because he’s just a regular joe who walks down the street and is happy to talk to people. I used to live right next to his motorcycle museum in Oyster Bay and saw him on the sidewalk more than once. You can’t get anywhere near the boys. Does that give him more Cred? No but he also recognized that there were people who wanted to hear his music though he didn’t want to tour anymore and playing the Garden was an easy compromise for him. He can be home relatively early and he still gets to perform and earn more money. And honestly the way he mixes up the set lists is great. You don’t always get all the hits. He lets the fans pick a lot of the songs so sometimes you come away not hearing what you’d hoped to hear. But you get some great deep cuts.
Vegas is a whole other animal to me. It is all about the money and commercialism and to me it’s a sellout. But that’s my opinion. I’ve always thought U2 were overrated hot air anyway so hey whatever. To me this is just a quick and easy cash grab, which I think it is for lost performers who set up there.
I had thought they had, but I couldn't remember for sure. Seems like more non-American acts do it than actual American ones.
Ya, & you know U2 will take full advantage of the capabilities. Their presentations have been very innovative.
Talk about your favorite band.

Well now we can officially put a fork in them, though really I think that could be said several decades ago. Saw them about 5 years ago, playing the full Joshua Tree album, for very cheap in Buffalo - the only way I would have ever seen them. Glad I can say BTDT, but have never been a fan of Bono's narcissistic ego, or his politics for that matter.

Probably a top ten rock act of all time, some fabulous songs and a few bullet proof albums.
For me, their entire catalogue has this thread of sadness that runs through it, which is great for the material per se, but after awhile, 'enough already'.
Can't listen to them anymore for any real length of time, like a whole album, forget it.
They're great at what they do and in small doses, excellent.

A band that sells out every show on their tours and still creates (and releases) new music is "officially done" because they're going to play a handful of shows during a tour in a structure built for music in Las Vegas?
That's extremely entertaining.

U2 is possibly starting a tour in June of 2023, with several shows scattered throughout the tour at the MSG Sphere starting in the late fall in November.
Apparently there's also one being built in London. It will make the iMax theatres a joke.

Rod Stewart. I went to one of his shows & it was surprisingly good. Great band & he did mostly the stuff you want to hear by him. & I saw Van Morrison on a residency, too. The room they built for Celine is great. Excellent sound & sight lines.

Set up shop, stumble out of your penthouse suite, get on stage, play the hits, and repeat...
