In some circles it was Bobby P.

It would appear that Rupert has been hanging around with Zoo Adam a bit too much.

ZA appears to have disappeared. Are the two events connected?

The guy just wanted to express his private thoughts about certain aspects of the band's history to an audience.

I have a question, too.  What if the 360 tour had been an all arena tour performed 'in-the-round'; would folks have a completely different assessment of the tour?  I think it would have gone down as one of the band's best tours.

Well, for a start, if it was performed ‘in the round’ in arenas, it could legitimately be called The 360 Tour. However, since 270 blatantly wasn’t performed ‘in the round’, it remains just that; The 270 Tour.

This would have been the setlist at my arena show at the London O2 on the No Line on the Horizon tour.

1. Even Better Than the Real Thing
2. The Fly
3. No Line on the Horizon
4. Get On Your Boots
5. Magnificent
6. Electrical Storm
7. I Still Haven't Found...
8. Stay (acoustic)
9. Unknown Caller
10. Until the End of the World
11. The Unforgettable Fire
12. Your Blue Room
13. Zooropa
14. City of Blinding Lights
15. Vertigo
16. Crazy Remix
17. Sunday Bloody Sunday
18. Scarlet/Walk On
19. One
20. Where the Streets Have No Name
**************************
21. Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
22. With or Without You
23. Moment of Surrender
24. "40"

That’s a solid set list. Get rid of Boots and I’d go.

Do we get to wear masks during Walk On?

Only if you sit at Bono's feet.

Boots > Crazy remix

I'd say Boots was a key live number on the No Line on the Horizon tour with its Ode to Joy intro.  The Crazy Remix was something a little bit different and so added to the overall show.  I didn't see this tour but I try to visualize watching it as if they they were playing 'in-the-round' in an arena like the London 02.

Crazy Tonight was just embarrassing live.  In spite of being a terrible lead single choice Boots at least rocked live.

The only live version of Crazy Tonight I’ve heard was on Letterman, and I thought they sold it pretty well there.

This century, their early performances of singles on TV have been high energy.

In the 1900s, their early performances on TV were shakier, they seemed to hit their stride later in the tour. I’m thinking mainly of the first performances of TJT material.
