Hell Yeah man. The ZooTV tour was nuts too. They really were an exciting band.
Which is kind of why I don't know why the fanbase seemingly preferred the "return to roots" sound of that Beautiful Day album and all that. It sorta seemed like they were done with pushing the boundaries and that the fans were happy about it.
Anyhow, I think the Popmart tour was truly the last big rock spectacle. I'd like to see more of that boundary pushing with rock groups today.
