        Just thinking about the bands i know who usually play more than 2
hours, i mean 2h30, 3 h and even more sometimes (rarely ;-) ). For instance,
for the international bands i know it's the case of Bruce Springteen and The
Cures. BTW, i don't know why U2 can't/wouldn't play more. Maybe someone here
has an idea ?

        Maybe J doesn't know U2 themselves said they changed the setlist
from time to time to avoid being tired of their "playing".

        In the name of love
