        U2 stole the show at Live Aid. That's the performance that gave them an overnight success.

        Wrong. The main meal should always be the music. Tech is the condiments. For too long U2 have been feeding people at their shows with condiments as the main meal. It's not enjoyable. Tech can be great as long as the correct balance is there.

        The millions who see them disagree. The tech is amazing and a long way from what most bands do which is cash in with small screens and poor sound.

        One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that since they’ve introduced these suspended speakers almost everywhere the sound quality has deteriorated enormously everything seems to sound a blur and it’s often difficult to listen to individual instruments being played.

        A big concert should be visual as well as aural, but you're still there to see the band, not a video of the band. Iron Maiden know how to put on a show which adds to, rather than detracts from the experience of seeing a band.
