 Popmart tour review - Boston.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The idea of "PopMart," as this tour has been dubbed, is not that unlike that of the "Zoo TV" tour in 1992: offer a barrage of bright images, a sensory overload, and utilize elements of kitsch and camp while singing songs of sincerity, emotion, and depth.
U2 tried, but did not quite achieve, the warmth and intimacy levels of their "Zoo TV" tour -- though they got closer near the end, especially during the gentle encore "One." A problem, certainly, is that U2's new music is cerebral, progressive, and dance-oriented, not like the arena-suited anthems of yore.
And Bono's vocal mix was not all it could have been; the lyrics were drowned out, especially during the louder, more clamorous songs.

 Amazon.com: U2 - Popmart (1998) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
While Popmart trumps the Stones (ringmasters of the original rock & roll circus and among the principal inventors of stadium rock) in terms of sheer scale, U2's presentation still strikes thematic sparks missing from the Stones' more conservative designs for the Bridges stage.
With its vast, ramped stage and enveloping video backdrop, the Popmart set serves the band's posttechno impulses, yet the music remains rooted in U2's passionate, high-flying rock style, using its skittering dance rhythms and garish pop-art motifs to support the band's underlying themes, not replace them.
It's a shame, because Pop was an outstanding life changing album and this tour was their biggest ever, containing some mind blowing performances, mixed with really forgettable ones.

 U2 PopMart Tour 97: '80s into the '90s band
In fact, I had to stand on my chair because everybody else was doing the same to grab the full effect.
U2 PopMart Tour, to celebrate their new CD of the same name, is an extravaganza of lights, music and fun-they even started their show with the opening chords of "Pop Music" (pop, pop, popmusic, remember that '80s song?) at 10 p.m.
The set was perhaps taller than the stadium and comprised of a larger-than-life (perhaps even cartoonish) lemon with an olive off to one side, the arch with a hoop feature in the middle and a huge TV screen running along the entire back on the stage.
