The Bono the activist act is wearing thin on me. This is not the cold war 80s anymore so it's hard to see the relevance nowadays. I also don't see the relevance between the nowadays Middle East tension and Sunday Bloody Sunday, a song written specifically for the IRA and UK conflict.
Overall, it's a good party show but I don't recall too many touching moments. With this tour coming close to an end, the question will be what will U2 do next?

They do seem to be at the zenith of their relevance (as far as any new music is concerned). When I think of recent and good U2 music I think of the albums 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' and 'How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb' and then I realize that the former was released over ten years ago and the later coming up on 7 years ago. It seems as though they are a younger version of the Rolling Stones, where their popularity is unmatched and can sell out super-large venues at premium prices in perpetuity but yet probably won't have another hit song.
