I've seen U2 three times in Adelaide. Once around 1983 at the godawful Apollo Stadium; the show was terrific but the tin shed acoustics were awful. Second time was the best; the 89 Love Comes to Town at Memorial Drive. This was a truly awe inspiring show when the band were at their creative peak. I then went to the Zoomerang show at Football Park (since changed names?) which was a very poor show. The band had been touring for a couple of years following Achtung Baby and they were tired and simply going through the motions methinks. I haven't bought much U2 product since and was very disappointed with the album with "Leave Behind" in the title.
I have Sigur Ros tickets for April at the Enmore Sydney. They are a band who are much more interesting than U2 these days, who have descended into parody. Didn't Bono say he was sick of Bono? I can understand this sentiment; not because I hate the guy but because the U2 thing has become a bit tired.
However, I'm sure if you catch them on a good night they'd still put on a very good show.
