This is really pointless. It's pretty much U2 saying they have a plan, but nobody knows what it is. Do they REALLY have one? I'm not trying to piss anyone off, I just wanted people to know the facts and realize how much U2 went overboard. Was all this necessary? I think people would go see the shows regardless of the setup, in fact, I've heard a lot of people say that this tour wasn't as good as some of U2's past tours.

Was it all necessary? Of course not. It's entertainment, pure and simple. and lest we forget, U2 is in the music BUSINESS.... it's all about the money they can make. I'm willing to forgive a little shameless extravagance and bloated ego in return for the many good things they do in the world and the great music they make.

if people can spend $300 million on 100mins of film why shouldn't U2 spend half of that on an incredible concert tour. i still think the band and its management have gone way way over the top with this tour. to me (someone who hasnt enjoyed an U2 album since 1991) its just a very expensive sugar coating of their new stuff. but i know 90% of true U2 fans would disagree with me.
