I'd tend to think U2 would be one of the few bands who really could put on an effective show in a stadium. I mean, shit, they've been doing them for 30+ years now...and they've got more than enough anthems in their discography that would still manage to translate well even in a stadium setting. Like, even if the band's physical energy levels aren't what they used to be, just the songs themselves would still - I imagine - be enough to carry them through.
Having said all that, I'll never, ever see any band in a stadium again. Too much hassle + shit acoustics, and that's across the board for every stadium show I've ever seen. No rock acts - none of them - I've seen in a stadium setting ever sounded even remotely as good as a band in a mid-size arena.
A 1,000 capacity club is my personal ideal.
