@Barry Obama Nah, Bono didn't develop fully as a singer until ZooTv/Zooropa . Definately not as a stage performer until ZooTv. His Falsetto during Lemon is a perfect example. He could have never of done this in the 80s.
We're the same age, I actually got to see The Joshua Tree when I was 13. Saw ZooTV once indoors and twice outdoors. Saw 360 3 times at Soldier Field in Chicago. And I love U2 way more than my wife does, but she bought me 2 tickets, so I asked her if I could just take our daughter so she would have a "First Concert Memory with Dad" when we went to United Center 3 years ago for the Experience + Innocence show. I hope she'll never forget it. I know I won't. Cheers.
MY LETTER TO U2-1987 I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono! I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage! I remember back then the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive and couldn't get tickets via phone or record store locations. Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year! All the Best! Gary Lagstrom
I have arguments with many people about how great this album and tour was. The creativity that went into producing this arrangement of songs by Eno and Lanois was amazing. The tour was an event that I will never forget and I was very fortunate to see 4 shows. To come out with 6 songs and not one from Joshua Tree is just crazy but, that just how good this album was.
@Barry Obama at the time the new stuff was so different from the old. Maybe they didn't think they jived or were selfishly just sick of playing them. But for me, I got to see the Joshua Tree tour (always think I need to add that it was at The Big O and my hsgf and my seats were so bad we were intimate at our seats😆) a long time fan already at that point I'd have been really upset not to hear ANYTHING from those first AMAZING records. Man he must have sweat pounds off each show in that crazy suit! End this comment with the Edge is freaking awesome!!!! Have most all their music up to the Joshua tree from when I attempted to learn guitar. But couldn't ever get my set up to sound like him so it ended there. Haha
Wow. I saw it maybe in 1993 or 1994 in Stockholm. The Edge is perhaps the greatest guitarist since Hendrix: supports the song, master of sounds and ELECTRIC guitar. The Edge is second to none. Well maybe to early Lonnie Johnson ; )
I totally agree! Love watching this again, it's super nostaglic... but really, you had to be there. U2 was giving just unreal performances back then. Edge was on his game like nothing else, one of the best rhythm sections ever, and Bono was amazing.
Kids, right now you are watching the last great rock and roll band at the peak of their powers. We forgive them for the years and albums that would follow because, for a blink in time, they were perfect.
Couldn't have said it better. I saw them on this tour in Providence and then 2 nights later in Boston on St Patricks Day, the energy that night was incredible. They were the coolest of the cool during those years.
U2-TRYIN TO THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND THE WORLD 🌎🌍 This was my alarm clock in the 90’s! Awakened me to the world and a new day! Ironically it was set for 6am!
Outstanding live band The best I’ve ever seen I was at zoo tv Wembley stadium England in 1993 for my 16th birthday absolutely brilliant experience. Still my all time favourite band today as a 43 year old man long may they keep rocking 🙏🏻
U2 at their very best. Great period up to and including POP. Went to the UK Wembley 93 gig as my first real gig. Took my girlfriend and now we are celebrating 20 years married. We both still remember this well.
I truly believe what makes Zoo tv and Popmart so great is the joy, the humor, the playfulness, the sense that anything could happen.. And the music was absolutely amazing too..
They didn't just play great music, they really put on a show. Ultraviolet is one of the best songs of all time. I nearly jumped through the roof when I found out they were playing it again in concert back in the 360 Tour.
Fortunate to have seen the Zoo TV Tour several times aound Europe and I can catatgorically say this was a life changer for me. Best concert tour ever and underlined U2 at the top of their game. I know ABBA have the Avatars doing Voyage but if the Zoo Tour could be replicated in the same way I would be there every day and night. Sorry for anyone who did not get a chance to witness this tour live.
I was at this show (actually both of the DC shows on that tour). Life changing. There are a few musical moments that define me. My first tape deck that I used to record music off the radio. My first CD player. This show. This show was mind blowing and it really was a moment that changed what I expected in a live show. I still love this band, mostly on all of the good will this tour brought.
I was there too ! And likewise August 15, 1992 was my first gig. In the preceding November I camped out overnight outside RFK Stadium to get tickets - the first of many overnighters for U2. Funnily enough I'm also at around gig 25.
Why is there no footage from the 8-15 show? The one with the slight drizzle / mist that made a 360 degree rainbow over RFK stadium? Tons of videos from the 16th show.
The opening of ZooTv Outside Broadcast [V2 , aka Sydney etc.] was the most amazing thing I’ve seen. Only a few minutes, but totally mesmerising. Will never forget.💎💎💎
Nearly 2023 an this is still unbeatable----u2 cruising in 5th gear easy goin in to 6th wen bands didn't know there was a 6th = absolutely epic concert an tour u2❤️🤝
The "younger generation" sadly probably thinks of U2 as "dad rock". Let's not fool ourselves - ZooTV was revolutionary because it was the first time it ever happened. The younger generation today wouldn't care, and the critics would accuse the band of not having any more original ideas.
@@cristian.ilie.018 That show was for the middle aged professionals who could afford to go - i.e., people who paid less than $20 a head to see them in the 80s. I doubt the youngins were saving their paper route money for those tickets.
@@dja-train2265 I agree.....360 was the last great tour that had cheap seats too....With what I hear the seats go for on Bono's Book-tour with prices skyrocketting from 1000 bucks a seat to Infinity, it's just not worth it. Also ironic how the price of tickets and U2's greatness in terms of performance and spontaneity have changed reverse-proportionally with time meaning when U2 were at the top of their game on ZOO-TV the tickets were cheap and now when U2 is but a shadow of the glorious times the prices are stupidly high !!!!
U2 at their peak....such a massive leap from The Joshua Tree sound...back in the days when each new U2 album seemed to surpass their previous album...and girls wore "mom jeans"....haha...
Classic U2 at it's best. Great to hear these best warhorses with an Acoustic Set on the B-Stage. And great electric version of Running without piano. Best ZOOTV tour ever
Great to see this full version finally posted on UA-cam. There have been bits and pieces of this concert posted on UA-cam over the years but they were usually single camera angles. This appears to be the fully edited video although the sound wasn't mixed for final release. Most people don't know that this show was supposed to be released as DVD hence why this "pro-shot" video exists. I'm not sure why it was never released but I'm glad this exists nonetheless! I was at this show so and it was my very first U2 show ever. Obviously it blew me away to say the least. It was a very damp, humid, drizzle filled night in the swamp we call Washington DC. The venue which was RFK stadium is where the Redskins used to play back in the day before they built the Fed Ex Field monstrosity. RFK stadium was a great venue for stadium shows.
Yeah, so happy this video is out there... August 15 & 16 were my first two U2 gigs. Brings back so many great memories. 40+ shows later, this is still the best...
Even with all the technological advancement since then, this is still some of the best sensory overload ever put together for a rock show. I'm not sure I've ever seen a big concert that was as well designed as ZooTV.
They were pushing the envelope and chopping down the Joshua Tree. I love the Zoo TV tour. Groundbreaking sound engineering on the Achtung Baby album came to life on this tour. Absolute rock genius🤘😎💥🎧💯🔥
I'm partial to Zoo TV Live from Sydney. Still a great show though. I wish his voice was as spectacular as it was at this time. Achtung will always be my favorite album.
Mandalay I loved the way they tweaked Zoo Station on the European and Down Under legs of the tour - Edge extending the opening guitar riff for little longer made that song even more epic. It’s the small things... 😁
Funny how it's now obvious this tour started a U2 metamorphose... From the first Zoo TV shows until the last leg of the tour, you can see tremendous changes on the stage, production and the band's performance.
Roundhay Park Leeds August 93, the arena packed from fence to fence 80,000+ people living the moment the biggest stage you saw in your life, and 2 hrs of a band in their prime showing you the future, it's been 30 years and the technology has got better but this was the tour that changed the way fans would be entertained forever, it was like going from dial up connection to broadband there was no going back, things were never going to be the same again, I even got me some zoo tv condoms, the 90s was such a cool decade then everything got serious
I was at this concert and yes it was truly amazing and life-changing. Perhaps U2 were at their peak at this time, however I’ve also seen them many times on the last three tours and I don’t really think they’ve missed a beat. The recent Joshua tour was truly truly amazing. However, This was the most innovative concert of any band. At any time. This was also the first time they played New Year’s Day and Sunday bloody Sunday in the tour. Can you imagine thinking that New Year’s Day and Sunday bloody Sunday simply wasn’t good enough to make the cut?
All this show was so kick ass from the both intro until last second So FUNtastic So ultra classik Thanx God for Zoo-Tv tour Theirs best all time U2 history Agree or Not ? GOD BLESS U ALL
bravo to the one who shot this!!....incredible close ups! I was working 2 jobs and raising children while missing Bono and his concerts😔..This soothes my regrets..bono still had those great moves i loved from his early concerts😊😎😎emphisizing those sudden *(oooohs) before he starts singing something i was thrilled to hear..his music in the 80's had alot of them too💕💕soooo sexy😉
Just scrolling through the comments looking for the New Year’s Day comments… I’ve never seen them stuff up like that… It is a known fact that Adam missed the first of two Sydney concerts because he was drinking heavily, in November 93. I’m not sure what happened on this performance though…
Who shot this ? Okay I've seen the Stones 17x U2 15x And so many other shows we can"t discuss. THIS IS FUCKING PERFECT! AndI I was at this show with my 3 children. And yes they have seen the Stones... Rock the Fuck On ! What a challenging year it has been
Saw both nights in DC on this tour. This night I was towards the back but the first night was on the 8th row towards Adam’s side. I’ve seen a lot of U2 shows in my 35+ years of being a fan and I have to agree with other posts on here... Zoo TV was their best tour. They played with a renewed passion and the show was unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The sensory overload in the beginning was epic. I’m happy to see this show on UA-cam. Wish I could find the first night in DC with the rain. Thank you for posting. Such amazing memories.
Ultraviolet is one of their more under appreciated songs imo. When they played it during 360 tour I almost cried. How they can tour without playing that and Bad is beyond me tbh
Also because Zooropa came out during a break in the tour in 1993 and the latter ending of the tour made use of these new songs from Zooropa to make things more interesting and the Sydney performance is almost completely flawless!! I still think this was their best tour, even 25 years later that stage design is still amazing, especially how expanded it is with the Sydney show.
I was at this show and just came back from watching them perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Can’t believe it’s been 32 since I saw this show…it was phenomenal
"In the locust wind Comes a rattle and hum.. Jacob wrestled the Angel And the Angel was overcome." As BB King said to Bono, You're mighty young to write such heavy lyrics. I named my son from this..
About the bum note around 36:40 or so.... Edge just got done a very passionate and physical performance (UTEOTW). And he was about 4 seconds away from playing both guitar & keyboard simultaneously. Give the guy a break, lol.
From this to Get Out Of your Own Way. Sad really. U2 never should follow the trends or follow anything for that matter. U2 need to go away and dream it all up again. Right now they are just Running To Stand Still.
Wayne Quirion it's...yeah, you're right. Kinda sad, especially since I became a fan around this time, I thought they'd always be this cool at least musically.. I want to like the recent stuff, but it's not even close to this
Their still the biggest and by far the best , live they re extraordinary, I’d say for 58 they re doing awesome, the age in 1992 was 30 31 and the era was awesome, the era in 2018 is just awful, real music has died . Also your full of shit
yup, music today blows vs. this, but I guess you cant stay on top forever. They were on top for over 20 years... Id rather they retire than go on with this new crap
Light 106 year music hasnt died, pop music was always bad. watch adam neelys recent video on it. great music is alive and well youre just not looking. u2 isnt as good as it used to be but most pop was always bad. nostalga is a trap! listen to bands like Foxygen or MGMT or something. Great music is still being made. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is great. Jazz is still around too. So many great bands today, what the hell are you talking about saying music is dead? rediculous.
I was at the very first ZooTV show in Feb 92 in Lakeland, FL. There were a couple of glitches, notably more than once they didn’t all stop playing at the same time at the end of a couple of songs. Bono just shrugged and said “been a long time.” Early in the show he noted it was their first show in the USA in 5 years. At least the mistakes showed us they were playing live. U2 gets tighter as tours progress. Saw them again in Atlanta and Tampa for Outside Broadcast about 8 months later and they were letter perfect. Edge also makes a mistake in ISHFWILF in the Mexico City Popmart show. Nobody minded!
Dunno what encore was like on 16th. Previous day, was covers of Elvis 'cant help falling in love with you' and ABBA 'dancing queen'. Just Bono & acoustic guitar on the end of the stage extension. Rain had just stopped/slowed & 360 degree stadium lights made a 360 degree rainbow that appeared to hover about 50 feet over the top of RFK stadium. Wish someone found a bootleg video of that.
I was at that one, extended stage left. What a night "if I knew it'd be raining, I wouldn't have worn all my fancy clothes." But no bad, did a great "all I want is you," though.
The greatest tour of all time. U2 at their very very best. Bono's vocals during this era will never be matched.
@Barry Obama didn't see that one but saw Joshua Tree and he was on point for that as best as he ever gets. ;)
@Barry Obama Nah, Bono didn't develop fully as a singer until ZooTv/Zooropa . Definately not as a stage performer until ZooTv. His Falsetto during Lemon is a perfect example. He could have never of done this in the 80s.
@ObamaFromKenya there's a performance of bad in the Netherlands in 1990 that's incredible.
@ObamaFromKenya Yep. Lovetown tour was peak Bono voice!
Was at this show at 21 yrs old. Life changing. At 47, I’m still blown away.
I’ve come full circle, taking my 10 yr old son to JT 2017.
im 47 too . Fan since 1983
what did your son say?
How did he find it?
46...was there as well. First real concert, mind blowing.
A Day To Remember Heartless
I was 13. It was my first concert.
We're the same age, I actually got to see The Joshua Tree when I was 13. Saw ZooTV once indoors and twice outdoors. Saw 360 3 times at Soldier Field in Chicago. And I love U2 way more than my wife does, but she bought me 2 tickets, so I asked her if I could just take our daughter so she would have a "First Concert Memory with Dad" when we went to United Center 3 years ago for the Experience + Innocence show. I hope she'll never forget it. I know I won't. Cheers.
This was my first concert ever. My heart swells at how great everything was back then compared to today’s crap.
Oh thats amazing.
Had a cool tank top from Joshua Tree but a girl wore it home from my place soon after and never got it back. 😥😡
Justin Bieber s new songs are OK though
Until the end of the world was the finest 5 mins of live music I've ever seen in my life.
Unfortunately, it dragged down the performance of New Year's Day which followed UTEOTW
Will be looking forward to it
@@NamathCB when?
It's a phenomenal song
Very underrated
It's probably their best song live. Boston, Slane Castle, the outside broadcast performance... all amazing.
MY LETTER TO U2-1987
I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono!
I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage!

Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year!
All the Best!

Best album and best tour they ever did.
Jesus....how great was this band..???

Running To Stand Stil
My first U2 concert. That night changed my life.
U2 in their absolute prime... Zoo Tv frickin' RULED!!
William Sauer have to agree with you ... Bono incredible back then and this is prob greatest tour ever
Wow. I saw it maybe in 1993 or 1994 in Stockholm. The Edge is perhaps the greatest guitarist since Hendrix: supports the song, master of sounds and ELECTRIC guitar. The Edge is second to none. Well maybe to early Lonnie Johnson ; )
hell yes!!
I totally agree! Love watching this again, it's super nostaglic... but really, you had to be there. U2 was giving just unreal performances back then. Edge was on his game like nothing else, one of the best rhythm sections ever, and Bono was amazing.
Absolutely. They satirically stuck their heads up their arses for ZooTV and created gold.... then their heads got stuck.
Who else watched the entire thing unexpectedly?
Kids, right now you are watching the last great rock and roll band at the peak of their powers. We forgive them for the years and albums that would follow because, for a blink in time, they were perfect.
cvachon7 so true ..... They used to give me goosebumps . So so good
Couldn't have said it better. I saw them on this tour in Providence and then 2 nights later in Boston on St Patricks Day, the energy that night was incredible. They were the coolest of the cool during those years.
U2 tour's save lots of peoples life's during the 90s decade
Zoo TV + pop mart was so original and so blasting
Agree folk's ? Raise your hand's !!!
@@patrickrancourt4782 I agree, but the Elevation Tour and 2017 Joshua Tree Tour were amazing too!
PopMart was perfect. In ZooTV they discovered there was more U2 to U2, and just started to mine that new vein.
U2-TRYIN TO THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND THE WORLD 🌎🌍
This was my alarm clock in the 90’s! Awakened me to the world and a new day! Ironically it was set for 6am!
Outstanding live band
The best I’ve ever seen
I was at zoo tv Wembley stadium England in 1993 for my 16th birthday absolutely brilliant experience.
Still my all time favourite band today as a 43 year old man long may they keep rocking 🙏🏻
Where U2 have no rivals.
Best tour ever. Unforgettable zootv Tour. After nothing was like before.
The greatest live band ever. Edges guitar playing is phenomenal. It’s the space between the notes that counts 🤔.
Saw this show 17 times over a year - by a billion light years the best rock tour ever conceived and performed.
Holy Smokes - what a show. Took real balls too for the first 6 numbers to be from Baby. Then again, no surprise - it's a killer record.
I thought the same. I think they knew that they had done the perfect album.
I saw them twice on this tour. Yankee Stadium in New York in August 1992 and RDS Dublin, Ireland in 1993.
They smashed it every night.
U2 at their very best. Great period up to and including POP. Went to the UK Wembley 93 gig as my first real gig. Took my girlfriend and now we are celebrating 20 years married. We both still remember this well.

They didn't just play great music, they really put on a show. Ultraviolet is one of the best songs of all time. I nearly jumped through the roof when I found out they were playing it again in concert back in the 360 Tour.
Same for me!
They'll play the whole album this fall in Las Vegas lol
Was at London leg Wembley Stadium 93. This tour was the tour to end all tours. A benchmark never bettered.
onefrequencydown so right!
Me too. One word epic
360 came close, but yeah, nothing will top ZooTV.
This opening still gives me chills!
Must be the best ever start to a concert. Blew my mind live and still does.
The opening is easily the greatest in Rock & Roll/Music history!
Yes! Nothing surpasses this opening...
As it should I was there
This is the u2 I love. Just a level above everyone else. Amazing.

U2 have never been so good before or since ..this is U2 at their peak !
This was my first U2 concert, and it was one hell of a show. September 20, 1992 in Busch Stadium.
I was there. Night before was my first ever U2 show. loved it and had to go back. Scalped a ticket for night 2. 25 years later I'm up to 25 shows.
I was there too ! And likewise August 15, 1992 was my first gig. In the preceding November I camped out overnight outside RFK Stadium to get tickets - the first of many overnighters for U2. Funnily enough I'm also at around gig 25.
I was there too! In the cheap seats but I had a blast. Great that you went for both nights!
Why is there no footage from the 8-15 show? The one with the slight drizzle / mist that made a 360 degree rainbow over RFK stadium? Tons of videos from the 16th show.

yay Loved that show!
Roundhay Park Leeds August 93, the arena packed from fence to fence 80,000+ people living the moment the biggest stage you saw in your life, and 2 hrs of a band in their prime showing you the future, it's been 30 years and the technology has got better but this was the tour that changed the way fans would be entertained forever, it was like going from dial up connection to broadband there was no going back, things were never going to be the same again, I even got me some zoo tv condoms, the 90s was such a cool decade then everything got serious
I was at this concert and yes it was truly amazing and life-changing. Perhaps U2 were at their peak at this time, however I’ve also seen them many times on the last three tours and I don’t really think they’ve missed a beat. The recent Joshua tour was truly truly amazing. However, This was the most innovative concert of any band. At any time.
This was also the first time they played New Year’s Day and Sunday bloody Sunday in the tour. Can you imagine thinking that New Year’s Day and Sunday bloody Sunday simply wasn’t good enough to make the cut?
How friggin incredible !!! U2 were in they're prime here .... Bono just a boss
Rock n’ roll at its best. Love this band.
All this show was so kick ass from the both intro until last second
So FUNtastic
So ultra classik
Thanx God for Zoo-Tv tour
Theirs best all time U2 history
Agree or Not ?
GOD BLESS U ALL
This show and tour was brilliant and I’m not even a big U2 fan. Was captivated during the entire show.
bravo to the one who shot this!!....incredible close ups! I was working 2 jobs and raising children while missing Bono and his concerts😔..This soothes my regrets..bono still had those great moves i loved from his early concerts😊😎😎emphisizing those sudden *(oooohs) before he starts singing something i was thrilled to hear..his music in the 80's had alot of them too💕💕soooo sexy😉
With Or Without You... The best version of all times. Live from heaven.
Congratulations on the post phase Achtung Baby and Zooropa if the friend has more shows please post
I was there, it was great, raining on us like there was no end..
It was a drizzle... But beautiful...
At their absolute best with zoo tv
That Clayton's bass on Mysterious Ways... epic!
New Year's Day is a bit of a mess. But this is why I love these guys.
a bit? :-D
Just scrolling through the comments looking for the New Year’s Day comments… I’ve never seen them stuff up like that… It is a known fact that Adam missed the first of two Sydney concerts because he was drinking heavily, in November 93. I’m not sure what happened on this performance though…
@@joekamleh6049 looked to me like they were staring Edge down on the intro and he screwed it up and they all got off from there
Apoteósico el comienzo. Todavía emociona. Épico. Puro talento atemporal. Algún día visitaré Irlanda.
Who shot this ? Okay I've seen the Stones 17x U2 15x And so many other shows we can"t discuss. THIS IS FUCKING PERFECT! AndI I was at this show with my 3 children. And yes they have seen the Stones... Rock the Fuck On ! What a challenging year it has been
Très bonne qualité ! Et j'aimerais dire que de bon souvenir ! ZooTV !
Saw both nights in DC on this tour. This night I was towards the back but the first night was on the 8th row towards Adam’s side.
I’ve seen a lot of U2 shows in my 35+ years of being a fan and I have to agree with other posts on here... Zoo TV was their best tour. They played with a renewed passion and the show was unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The sensory overload in the beginning was epic. I’m happy to see this show on UA-cam. Wish I could find the first night in DC with the rain.
Thank you for posting. Such amazing memories.
Only caught the first (rainy) night. Something magical about the mist & rainbow that night. Wish there were videos from the 15th too.
Way better than Sydney 1993. This is raw, passionate and pure. This ís U2.
I’ve got to say that the way Edge plays the bridge on Ultraviolet at 1:44 is just out of this world.
Ultraviolet is one of their more under appreciated songs imo. When they played it during 360 tour I almost cried. How they can tour without playing that and Bad is beyond me tbh
We'll shine like stars in the summer night, we'll shine like stars over winter skies
I was somewhere in the 1st 10 rows, those amazing Propaganda seats that you could order by mail... mind blowing concert!!!🔥🔥🔥💗💗
thank you for this upload with superb sound quality. Never understood why Sydney was chosen over this performance.
Because Sydney was the last show of the tour! I was there and it rocked!
pimpleface cause on this concert there are some mistakes like on new year's day by adam and edge
Also because Zooropa came out during a break in the tour in 1993 and the latter ending of the tour made use of these new songs from Zooropa to make things more interesting and the Sydney performance is almost completely flawless!! I still think this was their best tour, even 25 years later that stage design is still amazing, especially how expanded it is with the Sydney show.
Because Stay wasn't included yet
And this song is top notch during Sydney gig
Three reasons why: New Year’s Day 😂
Wow best concert I’ve seen. Bono’s VOICE 🙌🏻
Dodger Stadium, Oct 31 - 1992, 5th row...my first and only concert I went to, and it was amazing!
I was at this show and just came back from watching them perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Can’t believe it’s been 32 since I saw this show…it was phenomenal
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE THE FASTEST GUITARRIST TO BE A GREAT GUITARRIST
When Larry played hard....what a good times!
U2 on The Top.All Over The World.
Loved back when edge did moves with his guitar grooved while playing now he stands still lol still love em epic band 40 plus years together
"In the locust wind
Comes a rattle and hum..
Jacob wrestled the Angel
And the Angel was overcome."
As BB King said to Bono,
You're mighty young to write such heavy lyrics.
I named my son from this..
10:58 one of Edge's best live solos. And God knows how much I've been listening to them to write that!
30 years after this show...
This is still the best in my mind.
1:12:00 No harm to Hendrix fans, but The Edge goes beyond there... Maybe not technically but the emotion is beyond anything done in rock 'n roll.
This is a great video. Thank you for posting.
About the bum note around 36:40 or so.... Edge just got done a very passionate and physical performance (UTEOTW). And he was about 4 seconds away from playing both guitar & keyboard simultaneously. Give the guy a break, lol.
Loved earlier versions of this tour... Sunday bloody Sunday wow!!!!
From this to Get Out Of your Own Way. Sad really. U2 never should follow the trends or follow anything for that matter. U2 need to go away and dream it all up again. Right now they are just Running To Stand Still.
Wayne Quirion it's...yeah, you're right. Kinda sad, especially since I became a fan around this time, I thought they'd always be this cool at least musically.. I want to like the recent stuff, but it's not even close to this
Their still the biggest and by far the best , live they re extraordinary, I’d say for 58 they re doing awesome, the age in 1992 was 30 31 and the era was awesome, the era in 2018 is just awful, real music has died . Also your full of shit
yup, music today blows vs. this, but I guess you cant stay on top forever. They were on top for over 20 years... Id rather they retire than go on with this new crap
The Rot has really set in with the abscence of Eno and Lanois in production and also inspiration direction and focus is messed up with them now
Light 106 year music hasnt died, pop music was always bad. watch adam neelys recent video on it.
great music is alive and well youre just not looking. u2 isnt as good as it used to be but most pop was always bad. nostalga is a trap!
listen to bands like Foxygen or MGMT or something. Great music is still being made. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is great. Jazz is still around too. So many great bands today, what the hell are you talking about saying music is dead? rediculous.
This is some serious entertainment here.
I hope they do a Zoo Tv 30 year anniversary
the other version of running to a stand still got to love it
Adam sounds great and so loud !
That New Year's Day..maybe the funniest scene in U2's history!!! 😅
Pepe Huertas edge messes up
Bono: mate?
Edge: I can't play while people watch
Bono: what?
Actually Adam f...ed up at least 3 times his part during the song. :) Bono also says "I'll be look through again" to warn the guys.
It was Adam. He came in with the first chorus 2 bars early. So when the chorus was actually supposed to happen, Bono counted off 1 2 3 4
36:50 Edge misses a note, Bono shakes his head. It happens to the best of us.
Sure Bono, let’s see you sing and play two lead instruments at the same time lol
I seen that part many times, I think the edge needed his space.
Bono does it again in the 40 min overlooking the edge on guitar.
I was at the very first ZooTV show in Feb 92 in Lakeland, FL. There were a couple of glitches, notably more than once they didn’t all stop playing at the same time at the end of a couple of songs. Bono just shrugged and said “been a long time.” Early in the show he noted it was their first show in the USA in 5 years. At least the mistakes showed us they were playing live. U2 gets tighter as tours progress. Saw them again in Atlanta and Tampa for Outside Broadcast about 8 months later and they were letter perfect. Edge also makes a mistake in ISHFWILF in the Mexico City Popmart show. Nobody minded!
Dunno what encore was like on 16th. Previous day, was covers of Elvis 'cant help falling in love with you' and ABBA 'dancing queen'. Just Bono & acoustic guitar on the end of the stage extension. Rain had just stopped/slowed & 360 degree stadium lights made a 360 degree rainbow that appeared to hover about 50 feet over the top of RFK stadium. Wish someone found a bootleg video of that.
I was at that one, extended stage left. What a night "if I knew it'd be raining, I wouldn't have worn all my fancy clothes." But no bad, did a great "all I want is you," though.
💦👀🌝🌚🙄👩❤️💋👨
I was at both shows, they finished with the Elvis track on the 16th...
