U2 will be my first music love for ever
I always liked Springsteen and do not forget the E Streetband, without them Springsteen was not that big, but he has also some sing a long shalala songs which I do not like.
He came for me at the same level as U2. Mainly because I am a concert lover and listen many to complete live shows.
In 2012, a half year after my mother died at 63, I visited for the first time a Springsteen show in Cologne with my dad, he is a long time Springsteen fan, like my mother. It was very emotional. And after that I visited 2 Springsteen concerts in Nijmegen and Monchengladbach.
The big thing that U2 can learn from Springsteen is the variety of the setlists and honouring the old records.
Many great songs of U2 nowadays are not performed at all or did not played the way the song deserves.
In case of U2 the concept of the tour is leading the setlist and the way the songs are played. To my opinion it should be the other way around.
When you have listened to 2-3 concerts of each leg of the tour you know all and there are no surprises anymore.
The 3 Springsteen shows I have visited in a year are 3 total completely different shows.
(The 360 concept although is the best stage for performing a concert)
I am not complaining about the fact that we as U2 fans have to wait a long time for there is a new record out. When you see the history, this is normal for U2, for me in 1984 it takes a very long time to wait for The Joshua Tree in 1987.
So nothing news at the moment
