Exactly. Back on the Elevation Tour, Bono was into the Africa thing and, on the post-911 3rd leg shows, the Coexist theme as well. But he usually confined his thoughts to a single well thought out monologue before playing One. Elevation was still about a rock band playing a rock show. This tour is just how you put it, using the band as a platform. Still cool to see them, though.88sundays said:I agree several posts back who said that the whole political preachy platform thing needs to be toned down..it suffers the songs. i love it when Bono takes the moment with the individual and makes his point but the text message thing and the whole coexist over and over gets a lil' thin after a while. hey guys, your preacing to the choir..we love ya's and we have followed you for years..just play your songs..they are the message that changes hearts..i know it's like their thing now but i can't help but feel sometimes that Bono is using the band primarily as a platform. i don't know..The thing that makes them is part mystery. Let me figure that out.

Oct. 16 was my first U2 concert and I would love to find any bootlegs. Does anyone have them that would like to share? Its ben nearly a week and Im still getting over the show. I love how the concert was more than just going to see a band play. U2 fans are so great, and I love the sense of communtiy that I saw at the concert. Its awesome to talk with other fans.Clark W.

One and Pride have been slagged a bit in some threads recently. While I agree that they sound a bit frail on the boots, actually being there at the show to hear them is a whole other story. You realize then why they remain on the setlist.

"MY MOM NAMED ME DAVID EVAN AFTER THE BESTEST GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WORLD"
A huge Edger, named Edgeamour, who I knew in the first Zootopia, has a little boy called David Evan (october 13rd is his 7th B-Day!!!!). His Godmother is making a shirt, which reads "MY MOM NAMED ME DAVID EVAN AFTER THE BESTEST GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WORLD" and he and his mum Edgeamour will be at U2´s concert, next Sunday in Philadelphia. David decided not to accept gifts for his birthday this year but instead, asked friends and family to make donations to the victims of hurricane Katrina. This little boy is becoming quite the young humanitarian and makes his family so proud; he is thinking of all the young chlldren that lost everything. This is another reason Edgeamour wants to take him to the concert on Sunday, his unselfish heart deserves this special treat! So, who will attend Sunday's show and see him, please, stop and say happy birthday to him! Great luck (and look), dear Edgeamour and little David, both of you are very very important for Edge and whole band!
