Don't worry I saw them then and the Zoo TV tour (Achtung Baby) a few years later was better

Pink Floyd's Pulse Tour.

Abba (!)

I'm a picky git when it comes to live music, despite playing myself, I ALWAYS tear the performance to shreds and analyse it (peril of the job) - so I don't go to many gigs, as I rarely get to enjoy them in the same way.

I saw them at Wembley Stadium on that tour - to be honest it wasn't a great show.

I have been a U2 fan since day 1 (I can still remember watching them perform Fire on TOTP - their first ever TOTP performance) and have seen them on nearly every tour.

It isn't a popular view as they are the band people love to hate for some reason but leaving aside Zoo Tv which was just about the best live concert I have ever seen (and I have seen a few) their last 3 tours have all been amazing shows. They have a rare tallent of being able to produce the most amazingly clear sound in a stadium arena, put on a show like few others can do and yet still come across like a band you might see playing down the local pub.

Check out some of the footage of the 360 tour on their website and you get some idea of how good they still are.

So the next time they tour get tickets and go, you will not regret it!

That's true f1, but I think it's people more likely hate Bono rather than the band itself as he's seems to be so up his own ****.

There's virtually no one I haven't seen who I wished I had apart from the obvious impossibilities like The Beatles. The only one that comes to mind is Kate Bush who I tried to get tickets for on her tour in 1979, but failed. She then never toured again LOL!

I have been very lucky to have seen nearly all the bands/artists I like.

I regret not seeing Dire Straits and Queen, with some bands/artists you don't realise how good they are until it's too late.
