No, that's why it's call a "Residency"

Exactly this.

And why it wasn’t included in my stage set polls.

As a U2 show but not a tour.

I'm glad you're clearing this matter up once and for all, old love.

I have already conceded to at least 2 members, including yourself, that NOT including JT30 was an error, on my part. Although, in my defence, I honestly can’t understand why anyone would vote for a big screen with a plastic Joshua tree stuck on it.

Well, they could vote for it in the worst poll.

Sphere was obviously not a 'tour' per se but it should have been in the poll because it was an extended run of shows with exactly the same stage setup and overall creative scheme - just like a tour.

this should not be that difficult to agree on.

Barry Manilow has been in "Residency" in LV for over 600 shows, breaking Elvis's record.  Would you consider that a tour?

nobody is arguing that Sphere was a tour.

Just like nobody is arguing Barry's residency is a tour.

Sphere simply should have been included in the poll for purposes of assessing and comparing the stage setups for a run of shows. 

I'm amazed how hard this is for some people.

Your ego is getting in the way of you understanding a fundamental point: MY poll started by ME was about TOURS, not residencies. If YOU wish to start your own poll including residencies please do so.

For Gods sakes, a tour goes from city to city. It ain’t that hard people. The problem here is too many IPAs for certain individuals…

Your poll was (is) seriously flawed.  And I'm here to help.
