Pop
'Please' was written about the Northern Ireland peace process, which was in crisis at the time (isn't it always?). With its soulful lyrics, it soon became a crowd pleaser on the Popmart tour which was launched to promote the LP. Featuring the world's largest TV screen (150 feet (45.7m) by 50 feet (15.2m)), a giant olive on a 100 foot (30.4m) cocktail stick and a huge rotating lemon, it was a spectacularly over-the-top audio visual experience. This would be the last time that U2 would use such a costly stage set. Bono said at the time that the effort involved in keeping such a show on the road was getting out of hand, so future concerts would be more 'back to basics'.
