Great parents!! I just hope you have the memories. I was 18 when I saw them at Roundhay Park Zootv tour in 1993 I think and the memories have all but gone, I’d do anything to be back at that beautifully warm August evening, amazing show. Thank god for RU-vid !!
U2 are masters of the transition live and this is the best concert video they ever put out. Must have watched this over 200 times since those days. Seems not so long ago but it has been 30 years since this concert.
Wow, I have so much to say about them💖💖💖, I have no idea where to start! I am a 16 year old girl and I loveeeeee U2💜💜, for 9 months now I hear their songs everyday all the time!! Before that I always knew they existed because my mom loves the 80’s music, but I never understood why they are so special! I started with 5 songs in my playlist😂, by that time I only began to actually understand why their music is so extraordinary and important to everyone and myself! Now I have about 60 songs in my playlists and I know each one of them by heart 💖, I love Bono’s voice and I find so much meaning in each song ! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 Even my book report was about ‘SURRENDER’ During those days the situation in my country is not easy, for 9 months people are protesting and trying to defend human rights and the idea of democracy and liberty! I try to protest whenever I can because those ideas and my country are so important to me!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I am sure that this is one of the reasons why I feel so connected to their music.💙 during this period U2 has always been one of the places I can escape to, and always makes me feel better🫶🏻🫶🏻. The fact that I haven’t met any other teenagers who love or even know U2 makes me really sad😢, because I really believe that anyone can learn something from their songs and ideas!!!!! I saw them for the first time on the 30 of September with my mom (can’t believe she agreed to fly to Las Vegas😂, it took us 27 hours to get there🤣), at their second show at the sphere💖 I’m sure it will remain one of the most memorable moments of my life!! Once Bono walked on that stage I couldn’t believe what I saw!! I wish I had the chance to talk to them😔 hope I will someday on their next shows🫶🏻 Love U2 so much❤️❤️
@@jakehernandez4303 Bud, I was born in '88. I've never been to Australia or even seen a single U2 concert. I don't even remember writing that comment 8 years ago. The internet is full of terrible people. God speed your endeavours x
Imagine this era of u2 when you're still listening to the relatively new Joshua tree and rattle and hum albums then achtung baby comes out and this tour follows.....No words!! ..... U2 = Different Class 🇮🇪
It amazes me how U2 transformed themselves from the predictable Rattle & Hum era to this, in just a matter of 3 or 4 years. Unreal. Even U2 themselves can't one up this tour.
@p j I know fans tho k the 2nd left of the tour, the European and Asian outdoor concerts, are the best, but personally I think the early indoor concerts in 1992, one night in an arena than move on, were the best. By 1993 they were more predictable, imo.
I was there! Both the Sydney shows, the Adelaide and the 2 Melbourne ones! I skipped my Year 12 final exams to do this! Best choice ever hahahaha. It was epic. EPIC!!!! Sometimes the best decisions are the rebellious ones like skipping History finals to see this epic band! No regrets!
@@dreamingcode Skipping the history final had no impact on my Year 12, just history and I didn't even fail. Right after high school I worked as a vet nurse, then travelled the world .No regrets!
Yep best concert ever. I was on the edge side at the front Took 12 hrs to get out the dam car lot. Best gig I ever been too I keep going back to see them and after 48 times and still nothing compared to this master of a show Take care
The 90's,the last true great decade,notice the crowd enjoying the show,not a stupid camera phone in sight,just enjoying the moment for what it was,if this were to happen today how many people would truly experience it
it was 1993 cell phones was NOT to be part of ourselves for another 8 years and became truly popular when,the twin towers fell thats when The Cell boom began.
I saw the Zoo TV tour in Frankfurt, Germany back then. I'd give my left arm to go back in time to see this one. It's brilliant. Bono is god in this performance!
This is something i won´t never forget. I´m happy to say that i was the lucky one to see ZooTv concert in 1992. Yes only one concert but i can say that i was there with other lucky ones. It was a night we all were the one.
I have opening night in Vegas their residence at the Sphere. I’ve been over the top anticipating for the show and I hope they will play Lemon. Great live song
The great thing avput u2 is their versatility. Look at led zeppelin, its mostly all just hard rock, u2 have everything. Youve got hard rock on songs such as exit and bullet the blue sky, there are anthems theres , "popy" music and there are hugely experimental songs such as zoo station. Very few if any other bands can play such a great range of styles
I love that about them and as you get more familiar with their songs then you realise how right you are. I don't know of any other band with so many great tunes.
That's literally why I consider them to be the best band of all time. Few other bands are as versatile, Radiohead comes to mind with their switch from alt-rock to electronica with Ok Computer and Kid A. Bu U2 is on a whole another level. You've got early post-punk U2, experimental U2 of the mid-80s (The Unforgettable Fire), the Americana U2 (Joshua & Rattle), the what-the-fuck-explosion-of-colors-and-sounds U2 of the 1990s, and then the return to softer sound (ATYCLB), and even hard rock (HTDAAB). Bands like Led Zeppeling, AC/DC, Queen, etc. are great, but come on.... They are/were literally playing the same stuff for literally decades. U2 is actually an excellent gateway to so many different genres of music.
@@TheAgandaur I agree with what you said about u2. Queen are another band who have a wide range of different song's, from hard Rock to ballads. Bowie also has alot of different styles. Brian eno produced this song Lemon with U2 and Oakenfold. But he also produced alot of Bowies work and I know he encourages band's and artists to change their styles and evolve their sound.
I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't like Led Zeppelin, but if you think that hard rock blues covers is all they did, then you clearly don't know their discography very well. Listen to "Going to California" and "Bron Y Aur" and "No Quarter" just to name a few. Very different than their hard rock stuff.
My brother had this on vhs. Since he never really took care of his stuff I took it 😂😂😂. He also went to this concert at yankee stadium with his then wife and our sister. I was really mad. My parents didn’t let me go.
Bono is just an amazing singer and front man. I love the edge, larry and adam. But bono is the key to their success, both on and off the stage, in the arena and in the studio.
@R F Adam missed the concert before this Sydney concert because he was hung over from a night of extreme drunkenness.First concert he ever missed. He may have seemed cool, but he was going through a lot then.
These two songs together are the coda of the show. It's a massive transition from Macphisto's arrogance in "Lemon" to the stripped down character in "With or Without You". From 8m 25s mark to the the 8m 56s mark is where it all transitions from the superficial to the very real. Of course it gets heavier from here with "Love Is Blindness" but resolution is found in the final "Can't Help Falling In Love".
The five-song Zoo TV character arc for MacPhisto, in which all of his self-confidence and arrogance are stripped away to reveal a needy, pathetic child (but not one without hope for change) is U2's finest live moment, IMHO. It's theologically profound, as Bono portrays Satan as someone who still is very much haunted by God (throughout this concert, God is represented by the camera that Bono interacts with in his various roles) and, when stripped of his pride, finds that he still "Can't Help Falling in Love" with God at some deep place inside. And so U2 end the concert with the hope that anyone, including Satan, might return to God.
Had the Intro he Sang on the Telefon in my Ear when my first Daugther was born. I woke up drunk, my Wife in the Hospital calling me at Home then i got there. All the day i had that Intro in my Mind. Will never forget. U2 just the Best...
how they could go so effortlessly from McPhisto's transformation to Lemon to WOWY and make it seem like a perfect continuum is something I'll never figure out. I'm so glad I saw this tour.
I just saw the video that was rereleased and wanted to check out a live version, holy shit. Did not think Bono was going to still have that falsetto in a live performance, killer
4 decades later and still going strong. I love U2, this band motivated me to learn to play guitar in high school, and had the chance to play CBGB's here in NYC with my high school band, twice...
