I have been watching the U2 concert recorded in Ireland when the warm-up act was Ireland making the quarter finals of the world cup. Paul Morrison tells me that the full sound they generate is only possible because they have a band playing with them under the stage.

U2 are a four member group but as their popularity has increased so has their sophistication and guile so it seems.....is this commonplace? Is Morro having me on? Or have I been an idealistic and naive Bono bimbo?
