You could argue that, whatever you think of him or the band, Bono can 'do' arena, which, as you say does seem to be something of a dying art.

'Tis a strange thing but it seems that, in recent times, the US big bands seem less self conscious of the showmanship thing than Britbands. I mean, I saw Smashing Pumpkins a couple of times in their prime and, despite their angst-rock rep, they still engaged with the crowd and put on a bit of a show. And System of A Down who were amazing live, weren't afraid of a bit of crowd-pleasing banter despite their potentially po-faced politi-rock stance. Back here even Oasis' much vaunted stage presence is built on a perceived sense of swagger whilst not actually doing much at all, and yes I have seen them.

ps I like Queen 8^P The first 3-4 albums rock mightily as far as I'm concerned.
