Interestingly, 'Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World' which was played between 'Numb' and 'Angel Of Harlem' was omitted from the official release, most likely due to the fact that the girl Bono sprayed champagne over was under-age. It's interesting to note however that by far the loudest cheer of the night was for when Bono began his usual channel-surfing and happened upon some footage of Richie Richardson being dismissed by Mark Waugh in a recent Australia vs West Indies cricket match! The show is balanced absolutely magnificently, opening with a barrage of 'new' songs (although Achtung Baby had been released for 25 months by that stage) before switching to the acoustic set and finishing the main set with the absolute classic double punch of 'Where The Streeets Have No Name' and 'Pride'. From the opening video sequence the crowd was unbelievably responsive- probably bettered only by the crowd in their recent release 'Live At Slane Castle'. By the time the tour reached here it was November 1993 (the band had even used a break between the North American and European stadium legs to record the Grammy-winning LP 'Zooropa') it was been tweaked and perfected to be the most perfect of perfect gigs ever recorded. the days of a big speaker stack and an out-of-sync screen in stadiums were gone.

It was only a matter of time (well, a few months) before the show was let loose on the stadiums across North America and Europe, and everything about the stage show was magnified to the extreme- 36 massive screens, 11 Trabant cars, basically their own traveling satellite TV station. U2 had deliberately not played any shows in America since 1987, but with their 're-invented' sound and look they were suddenly the only major draw-card anyone cared about in 1992- box office records were smashed. After humble beginnings in an arena in Lakeland Florida in early 1992, the show evolved and grew into a monster that evolved and matched the continual popularity of their seminal masterpiece, Achtung Baby. Paul McCartney, Madonna and Michael Jackson all brought their massive stadium shows over, but by far the most exciting and magnificent tour to come was U2 and their Zoo TV tour- which to this day is still a benchmark for all tours to be judged on, including their own subsequent Popmart, Elevation and Vertigo tours.

Pelting the women and children, pelting the women and children No bloodshed what so ever just 16 thousand peopleīut I go home to my hotel room and I turn on the television

I found 16 thousand people in the one building We turn the key and slowly unlock the doorĪnd through the walls we hear the city groanįound my, I found another side of America See the valleys and the quiet city streets See them burning crosses, see the flames higher and higherĪcross the trenches when the children sleep You plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome

In the locust wind, comes a rattle and hum I see the face of fear running scared in the valley below See ‘em driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
