    I watch these two videos every single morning for my daily dose of strength. I'm on my 12th day clean from smoking methamphetamine for the last 30 years. U2 and God and 4 months of hard work in a program have helped set me free by lifting the struggle off my shoulders. I'm finally a happier person. I love God, Jesus, my family and U2 ❤.

      I heard their first album, or it might have been a CD, but I could hear that they were something special. The best performance with Bono sings Running to Stand Still.I have grown more in touch with the way he tries and spreads the ability of us collectively to help each other for we are all one. God bless U2 and the rest of the world. \m/❤

    This truly is U2 at the absolute pinnacle of their career in my opinion. I was only 8 years old when this tour was happening so I unfortunately never got a chance to see the Zoo TV tour. I’ve seen them multiple times in my lifetime and they are one of my favorite bands but I still come back and watch these live performances from this tour and I’m always so blown away. I can’t imagine what an experience it was to see them live during this era.

    What was truly great about this transition was that Achtung Baby was a million miles away from The Joshua Tree yet the band stood by those great songs, reworked them for the tour and gave them a new life of their own to fit in with the ZOO TV concept - genius.
    Bono has one of the most emotive voices of all time.

    Everyone's bashing U2; how boring and bland they've become.
    In many ways they are right.
    But remember them at this stage; the best band in the world.
    They made history with this tour, the most groundbreaking, but also the most soulful spectacle in rock.
    It always will be.
    And this video catches the exact highlight of that tour, which is then the highlight of U2's career.
    I love this.

      I'm a huge fan of U2, but after Zooropa it's all been kind of bland. The bassist and Edge need to get together and create unique sounds again. I think the bassist has lost passion and is going along for the ride. He was a big part of their sound.

      You're absolutely right! I LOVE the way they mixed 'Streets' - kinda muddled, but perfect anyway, with Adam's thundering bass - it makes for a sort of 'techno' feel. The rush from when Edge starts playing the intro to when the flashing lights come is immense...I always seem to rewind to the start when Bono starts singing. It must be the ultimate intro ever.

    I get goosebumps during that transition into “Where The Streets Have No Name” every fucking time. The smoke, the lights, and Bono’s harmonica bring “RTSS” to a close. Bono coolly walks back to the main stage and glances back to the crowd one more time before the lights are killed. Then it gets even more awesome as the lights come on when those opening notes of WTSHNN hit. Oh my fucking god this is a top notch rock concert no doubt.

    Bono singing running to stand still,so poignant,getting across that it could be any one of us, and not to mock the afflicted,somehow saying we should all try to help each other,absolute genius,certainly knows how to connect, a man of the people.He gets my vote,everytime.Long live U2

      Bono lived right next to the neighborhood this song was written about in Dublin. He played in the structures of the seven towers when they were being built. So thus Bono is singing from his heart.

      Back in 87, just a month or two after the huge single Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For was on the radio like every 2 hours, they came to the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan where they play football and 80,000 people pack in. There was easily 60,000 because of the stage setup at the end of the stadium, and my girlfriend and I copped front row seats, and they started the entire show with the lights going black and the crowd going nuts, and then slowly started the opening notes for Streets.
      I want to tell you man, that place went absolutely bedlam. That song was the first song they released on our radio from Joshua Tree, then next was With or without You. Which was getting huge huge MTV airplay Then the single that everybody had just been hearing a lot was Still haven't found what I'm Looking For.
      They actually played all three of those songs right off the bat. It was just unbelievable

    how to even put into words. completely naked and artisitic moment executed in front of thousands of people with zero guardrails and no parachute. this is what made U2 U2, especially during this time period. they were not the beatles. they were not the stones. they were not zep, the doors, the who, the kinks, or the pistols or even the clash. but nobody, i mean nobody, was more amazing at being U2 than U2 during this window.

    U2's set list during the Zoo tour was nothing short of magical-especially the transitions. With "Running to a stand still" you have Bono kneeling and pleading for help metaphorically from a heroin battle, emphasized with smoke flares signaling an SOS. Finally finding hope and redemption with the opening chords of "Where the streets have no name" to pull him out of the darkness.

    @Jim I was British Soldier Serving in Northern Ireland ( as I prefer to call it Ireland) u2 gave me hope throughout albums such as WAR and BOY. We hoped one day I as a Celt .(Scots Black watch Royal Highland Regiment) we could find something we could agree on. I spent a few hours in a bar in South Armagh, (Bandit Country) where bombs were built such as manchester and canary wharf. not to mention all those used to kill civilians of both divides. we drank we laughed and we listened to U2 we both knew who were were, but for those few hours we were no longer enemies, we were on armistice. I saw the Zoo Tv Tour when they played round hey park in Leeds. it was every bit as good as all the others just as large just as spectacular and just has hopeful and for some of us. tear jerking in parts. we all paid a huge price back in the 80's and 90's let's hope we have moved on from that since we all face a much less political enemy and now a real religious one that just wants to watch the World Burn.

    9:17 for me has always had a real special meaning. Bono acknowledging his former self. It was clear U2 had to move on from that Joshua Tree/Rattle and Hum era, and one could be forgiven for thinking they would want no part of who they once were. But at that moment, it's like Bono waves to his inner child and says "it's ok. I liked what you were doing, and we're still doing it today".
