this part when bono is singing: love love love and turning mic to crowd and after screams/sings at top of his lungs IM WIDE AWAKE IM WIDE AWAKE! is the some of the most best awesome greatness i heard such power such soul, bono really amazing front man.
My favorite U2 concert EVER!!! Had this on two tape records since the day of the concert when I was 13 years old and I still have it with me 22 years later! U2 was on the top of their game that night in Dublin. Each and every song was memorable and a moment for eternity!
Damn.. I can’t believe there’s other people out there who share the same passion for this show, as I do. I remember being in a Utica motel room, listening to this concert live on the radio. My dad, my older brother, and myself were dropping off my other older brother at college the next day. We didn’t even know the concert was gonna air, but we just happened to catch it on the radio just as it started. We layed on the motel beds and the floor, and absorbed every song. To this day, my favorite concert of all time. Beautiful!
Sorry for write in french, but same thing here. J'ai le concert en double CD depuis 94/95 en bootleg et en numérique sur mon PC et ça reste le meilleur concert, de la meilleure tournée, avec le meilleur son, de U2. Tout y est...
I was at the gig RDS Dublin , i witnessed U2 live past 3 decades 17 shows in total , without question it was best Bad performance , no U2 gig better than them playing at home , Slane Castle both gigs were the best , not just cause of the performance best venue on earth , natural landscape with a history , and hearing the Unforgettable fire live in very location they recorded such within the caste , and knowing they backed Thin Lizzy 20 years before , never be a gig to top Slane just was party .
that 1at time that Bono sang/band performed song"BAD" Live IN DUBLIN(home)was Perfection his voice was so good He has infectious grace ,strength,and even when it's not perfect his spirit just shines through I see those leather pants & wonder who chose them him?or a stylist more likely lol but hes always worn the leather throughout the years They kind of crack me up considering who the band is and all miss them high oh ohohs oh no I'm not sleeping!Side Awake!!
Bono sings a bit of Candle In the Wind by Elton John and Fool to Cry by The Rolling Stones before singing that bit of The First Time. According to Bill Flanagan’s book U2 At the End of the World, Mick Jagger was in the crowd.
I had this tape I made in my car for years. Somewhere around the 4:00 mark Bono gets a sudden inspiration and really kicks it up. The second "Wide Awake," not in falsetto, sent true chills down my spine hundreds of times, including today. Also, Mysterious Ways from this concert, especially the coda, has to be the best ever.
Amazing song and amazing preformace. This is probably the best U2 concert bootleg around, not because of picture quality or the sound(which is really good) but because this is just such a good concert.
Good version ... very good concert ... did not know what was on video ... I have the full audio of this concert released on CD pirate in Italy ... with good quality ... called U2 Live Dublin 93. .. very good ... greetings!
amazing performance but i think that Bono has reached the best expression of his voice during the Zootv/ZooropaTour...sure his voice maybe was more powerful during the late eighties but the best control between chest voice and falsetto and the limitation of the rough voice tecnique (his imitation of American singin' style during the R&H period -one thing he told during an interview-) made it possible to record some of the most stunning performance of his career... listen to the famous 1993 bad live version that imho it's unbeatable... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_D6y9yYiJyI.html
If you twist and turn away. If you tear yourself in two again. If I could, yes I would If I could, I would let it go. Surrender, dislocate. If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind. Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away Into the night, and through the rain Into the half light and through the flame. If I could, through myself, set your spirit free I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away Into the light and to the day. To let it go and so to find away. To let it go and so find away. I'm wide awake. I'm wide awake, wide awake. I'm not sleeping. If you should ask, then maybe They'd tell you what I would say True colours fly in blue and black Blue silken sky and burning flag. Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes. If I could, you know I would If I could, I would let it go. This desperation, dislocation Separation, condemnation Revelation, in temptation Isolation, desolation Let it go and so to find away To let it go and so to find away To let it go and so to find away I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake I'm not sleeping Oh no, no, no.
I think cos the Live at Sydney Show, which was going to take place in November that Year, was already Scheduled to be recorded and officially released. Mind you that was a Video, they could have released this as an Official Live Album. That said, they encouraged Fans to Tape the Show from the Radio, as they did the NYE1898 Gig.
@therookpiece neither did i. i guess it had to do with the fact that it was freely broadcast all over europe. i seem to recall there were cassette covers printed in some newspapers. maybe that was why, but this is an amazing show.
It's a combination of three songs. I think 5:33 is a snippet from "Candle in the wind" by Elton John, 6:07 is a snippet from "Fool to cry" and 6:20 onwards is a snippet from "The First Time"
Actually i'm kind of intrigued by this. From the lyrics: [5:33] 'They crawled out of the woodwork', is from Elton John. Then bono goes on to sing what seems like: "onto pages of change, good old magazines" which isn't part of Candle in the wind, and he then follows up with "you had the grace to hold yourself, while those around you crawled" which is from a different part of Elton John's song. But i don't think the 'pages of change' part is a snippet from anything. Sounds kinda cool though, maybe it's got something to do with the way Michael Jackson was treated in the tabloids (magazines).
