Vertigo > Popmart

Wally8 · 12-06-2006, 01:29 PM

I saw Popmart back in '98 and wasnt really enthralled by the U2 experience. It was speccy, but sounded shit. I gave them another chance and saw Vertigo, much much better. Agree?

I dunno, they each have their own little pieces of gold.

Please > Streets

Pop Muzik > Mofo

Zoo Station > The Fly

Anything > The Electric Co. > Anything

Chizip · 12-06-2006, 02:14 PM

disagree

Exactly. Bono's voice was better during this tour but in other ways POPmart was better.

I just loved the huge stage, the whole setting was just amazing. Ofcourse POP muzik over to Mofo is the best tour opener U2 has ever had.

Last night on earth just rocks everything Vertigo has to offer off the table, the Please - Streets transition is just so amazing.

They are two different things, but for the Popmart concept and realisation alone, I prefer that tour.

But Vertigo surely had the greatest U2 sets ever.

Zooropean103 · 12-06-2006, 03:08 PM

I think Vertigo is up there with Popmart and Zoo TV.

djerdap · 12-06-2006, 03:25 PM

Wasn´t at the Popmart show, but in terms of performances I´ve heard on bootlegs and setlist variation I put Vertigo ahead of it.

phillyfan26 · 12-06-2006, 03:28 PM

Vertigo is a better show. I'm not a fan of Pop, so a lot of the setlist for Popmart was a bore for me.

Vertigo brought a lot more variety and return of some quality songs.

orelse · 12-06-2006, 03:49 PM

It really depends on when and where you saw it. Early Pop tour vs. any show on Vertigo is no comparison but as the tour went on we'd get a bit more competitive. For setlist I'd probably take Popmart but for going to mutliple shows Vertigo rules the day.

schnumi · 12-06-2006, 04:00 PM

btw it's a bit unfair ofcourse to compare setlists etc.

U2 basicly had a lot more good songs to choose from this tour the back in 97.

I wasnt a fan of the COBL opening in Vertigo compared to Mofo or Zoo TV. But now after seeing COBL open the show live, OH MY GOD, my spine almost snapped from shivers. Vertigo > Pop for me

J_NP · 12-06-2006, 05:52 PM

Both are my very favorite tours of Post 90's , along with Lovetown the Definitive top 3 of u2

So For me

VERTIGO = POPMART

Just like Spider-man 1 or 2 , Both Great , Fantastic only different

Just like Bangin

Erica Durance

or

Elisa Cuthbert
