See, this is why I admire them so much:
U2 - U2 doesn't understand cruise control. Bono and the boys give their all every time they take the stage. Of course, a lot of acts can make that claim. But what separates U2 from the rest is its ability to deeply connect with every single person in a 20,000-seat arena, even those in the cheap ($52) seats. (Nov. 8 and 9, Oakland Arena)
