re: #610 palomino

the greats are always better live. (OK, there are some exceptions like the Beatles, but…)

anyway, it’s why I’ve built up a decent little collection of concerts and other live footage on DVD. Who, Stones, Jimi, some more recent stuff like U2, Pearl Jam, QOTSA, etc. Why just hear the Who or Elvis when you can watch and hear them?

Saw U2 on Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at Houston Summit. Will see them for second time in a few months at Angels Stadium. Somehow I don’t think it will compare. The Summit (now a megachurch) was an intimate venue compared to a baseball stadium. And I’m afraid they’re gonna seem past their prime, kinda like every 40-year old basketball player in the NBA.
