Did you go to the Euro leg of the tour?
Have listened sporadically since but they are certainly one of the greats.
I do agree on their output compared with pretty much anyone else still releasing records into their 4th decade, but they have gone from "every album is essential" to "2 or 3 good songs" with the last couple, for me.
Obviously we'll get Still Haven't Found and One Tree Hill, which I've been wanting to hear live pretty much forever, and they put Ultraviolet in the encores most nights last time round, which will keep me very very happy if they repeat this time out. I'd also like Out of Control, which wasn't played on either of the last tours.

I’d had a few shit weeks at work and some depression-related health shit, so wasn’t really in the mood and actually not particularly excited in the run-up, including a 90 minute drive, and the ticket girl almost refusing to give us our ticket because we hadn’t brought the right credit card with us, as no one told us we had to!)
Thankfully I was wrong and they’re still absolutely worth the reputation as probably the greatest live act around. We got the usual massive screen and tree-shaped B-stage, opening with pre-JT songs, then the full Joshua Tree, then an encore of post-JT stuff. I was well aware of the Streets intro with the blood red screen and rockstar pose etc etc, but when it came I was honestly in bits. I’d just about got myself together by With or Without You, until Bono launched into the rarely-heard-of-late “shine like stars” outro, at which point I was a mess again, but good catharsis after feeling shitty beforehand.
