With regards the Bon Jovi Twickenham shows, the only people who didnt think much of these shows are the ones who have seen many shows from this tour and can therefore compare, such as the jovitalkers you talked to. The thousands of screaming (albeit ''casual'') fans around me are the people who I say enjoyed the show immensely, and that was pretty clear. Dublin was alot better, but Twickers was by no means a 'bad' show.
Anyways to get back ontopic about U2, their setlist seems good to me... a little heavy on new songs but that is always to be expected. U2 have several truely amazing songs, including the 'big 3' of the Joshua tree which in my opinion are untouchable and worth the ticket price alone, but i do agree that Bon Jovi are a better live act and have a stronger back catalogue.

U2 in Dublin will be pretty different compared to U2 in Amsterdam, I guess. Still, Bono has lost it, and without their fancy lightshows there'd be nothing left of them. If U2 would do club shows it would become pretty clear of how much they need the lights, screens and fancy stages.

I agree...to an extent. Bono has not 'lost it' but i do think that
without their huge stage and light show and a handfull of their classic songs, it would be a different experience for sure. It would probably be shite actually.
