i give props to Springsteen for playing for 3 hours. i personally don't think Bono's voice could handle it. read that how you want. some people might automatically say that Bruce is better for that fact. but i would rather take 1 good hour of U2 than 3 hours of Bruce. but that's just me.

Why do people suddenly pin this on me? I'm Galeongirl, not Galeongirtourist. :/

Can someone point me in the direction of videos which demonstrate the diference between the Popmart and Elevation versions of Streets? I've listened to the audio from the Mexico City DVD and I can't pick up much of a techno influence.

New Year's Day has not been played a lot lately. I went to 24 Vertigo concerts and I saw New Year's Day once. I've been to four 360 concerts and I saw it twice. It's a nice treat I think, and it still sounds pretty damn good. And it's an awesome song.

I agree that, in the context of PM, it sounded cool (the light-speed visuals were also pretty cool), but, it was merely Streets + a sound effect. I think we have to keep that in perspective when qualifying the difference from the norm.
