Just how bad did U2's 1997 Popmart tour fare in America? Check out 1:10 of this video:

Literally >15,000 people in a 50,000 capacity stadium that they could have two sold out nights at on the previous tour. That's how much of a flop it was...

I was at opening night of the "Pop Tour" in Las Vegas. It wasn't bad. The stage was beyond awesome. But I was also at the "ZOOTV" performance in Vegas and Pop paled by comparison.

It wasn't bad but it was a bit rough. Bono flubbing lines, Staring at the Sun getting fucked up and having to be restarted, Edge's effects board malfunction for the majority of Discotheque.

Discotheque and that terrible video killed any momentum they could hope to have had for that era right off the bat
