WHAT TO EXPECT:
Other artists
may be scaling down for the recession, but not U2: Their first U.S.
stadium tour since 1997's PopMart will be dominated by the largest
set ever built for a rock concert, a monstrous stage nicknamed the
Claw that will allow them to play in the round. "The crowd will be
all around us," says the Edge, on a break from tour planning. "That
energy will just make the performances fly." The band is selling
some seats for as cheap as $30, as a nod to tough times and to make
the shows accessible to young fans.
"We're talking about resurrecting songs we haven't played in a
long time," Edge says. "I have a list of every U2 song — some
I can't remember anymore — even some of the B sides that
we've never played live. We were thinking how much fun it would be
to play something like [Joshua Tree outtake] 'Luminous
Times.' Certain songs from the last couple of tours, we may not
play again. We want to find songs that feel fresh and
valid."
