    Something saying that Willie Williams is one of the guys responsible for the design of U2-concerts. My French sucks though...

    Ah, nothing very important then, I take it. No real news. I'll trust your French-speaking abilities over mine, which are non-existent.

    Excite us!

    I have to agree with you mate.
    This one is the first poll I think I won't answer Actually I expect the four things together. That's impossible you may say. But really it isn't, with U2 at least. I expect an album which is surely a new Achtung Baby, but with the atmosphere grown through ATYCLB and HTDAAB. So we'll have an innovating (Zoo TV) introspective (Elevation) worldwide, in any sense (Vertigo) tour. Moreover it will have something beyond any limit, some excesses like PopMart, even if they will no longer be "adolescential" like PopMart.
    In other words I expect a tour never done before, though a powerful mix of what we had in the last 15 years.
    Apart from my opinion, I think we should hope something like this. It would be explosive!

    Willie Williams One of the best and most important members of the entire U2-team apart from the band and Paul McGuiness.

    nicely said....I think with whatever U2 does, it is in some way, everything they've done rolled into a new ball, yet it is still new, but you can sense the history...you said it nicely about the tour, sounds good to me

    Hopefully he'll do a tour diary again.

    Actually you said it better than me
  12. A stage same the Elevation tour, closer to the audience, like the US gig on the last tour,
    can see the band at 20 meters, it's magic, really amazing,
    I attented the two sort of concert, indoor and outdoor, indoor was the best for me!!
