The single greatest concert ever captured on film, even today.

The greatest transition in rock history

I was there at the Angels Anaheim Stadium in 1992, California, so emotional I spent the whole night with a knot in my throat, I would never forget that night and I thank God for letting me be there, the best concert I have ever seen.

U2 put all of themselves into every show and really make you believe that each and every concert they play is the most important concert in history

The transition between songs is so emotional that I cry almost every time!! U2 is an experience live!  When the lights go all the way up in the beginning of Streets... it is like being flooded with love... so hard to explain but feels amazing live!!

The best band in the world. Rest my case

A few notes for the young folk on here. This tour - the zoo tv tour - was a game-changer, in terms of arena and stadium shows. So many things that concert goers take for granted now, started on this tour, e.g. a b-stage or ramp into the middle of the crowd, the whole concept of multi media being used on such a huge scale. Prior to this, video screens were generally only used so people at the back could see the show. This is actually a scaled down version of the show, in terms of size,  but scaled up in terms of technology. When the first leg of the stadium shows show took place in the USA, the stage was actually even bigger - with 6 cars(Trabants - more on that later) for lighting, and one even had a camera in it and another was a car shaped mirroball, used at times to reflect light. It was so big, the towers had to have aircraft warning lights. But on that leg, there were fewer multi cell screens and instead, a couple of large projection screens. Other innovations included a "confess box" outside, where fans could go in, make some sort of confession, the best of which would be shown on the screens before the encore.  They basically brought a tv broadcast channel on tour with them, with satellite dishes, and everything. They could (and did) broadcast live tv excerpts during songs. They could link up by satellite to virtually anywhere in the world, most famously when Garth from Wayne's World played drums along with them on screen, while he was at an awards show, somewhere else. And also, controversially, they went through a phase of the tour where they linked up by satellite to Sarajevo, during Bosnian war, in order to "keep it in the news", but concert goers didn't pay good money to hear about people having seen their neighbours get blown up, and suchlike.

Regarding Bono playing harmonica, it was Bob Dylan who thought him how to play, in the mid 80s.

And as for the cars - this was at a time not long after the Berlin wall had fallen. U2 went there for intitial recording sessions. They became fascinated, and amused, by these old east German Trabant cars, that were actually mostly made of a sort of fibre material. In the bonus material on the DVD release, their manager is beside one of the Trabants, holding a little toy version, and he says "There's probably more metal in this toy version, than in the whole of this car". Let's just say, you didn't want to leave your Trabant car out in the rain for any length of rime. The factory was closed when the wall came down, and U2 bought all of the remaining Trabant cars, to use in promoting the album and tour. In the ad for the album that aired here, there's an elderly japanese gentleman, just standing there, looking into the camera, when suddenly, a Trabant drops down beside him, and mostly comes apart, and then he shouts "ACHTUNG BABY! New album from U2!" and that's the ad.

U2 = emotion!

Yess!! I was there that night. Running to Stand Still was amazing and you could feel what was coming next with that long, incredible intro and the crowd anticipation just built and built, then when every light on that stage lit up blinding you we just went off. Brilliant. By the way, those two cars went swinging and were crashing together, sort of like a suspended demolition derby above the stage during some parts of the concert.

Seen U2 nineteen times from 1986 to 2017. They have always delivered a great show. Definitely worth seeing in concert.

I was in college when the Joshua Tree album was released. I was helping my roommate and his audio team set up the equipment for a street dance on campus. To check the mix and volume, he played “Where The Streets Have No Name”. I can still remember that Spring afternoon as the first part of the song echoed across the quiet campus. When it kicked in, it blew me away. It’s over 30 years later but I still recall the amazing feeling as I heard the song for the first time.

October/Bullet the blue sky from Paris 2015 is unbelievable,  also The Fly from the Boston show is incredible

Zoo TV tour took U2 to another level with the massive stage, power and emotion. Their concerts during this time no other band could match. Those cars are German Trabant cars  🚘 were used as stage lighting which was amazing. Running to stand still is an amazing sad song and well “Streets” is one of their best songs live ever performed 🎶🎶

I saw U2 on the Zoo TV Tour in the Georgia Dome, Atlanta Georgia. 68,000 thousand people in attendance. Everyone stood up when the band took the stage, no one sat down the entire show. It was an out of body experience, a sensory overload, an almost religious experience. Later that night I kept asking myself "What just happened?". I saw them two more times after that, same thing. They are an unbelievable band!

As a lifelong U2 fan, i’m loving rewatching these videos with you ❤🎶

It gives me goosebumps when Where The Street Have No Name kicks in.

Probably one of the greatest moments from one of the greatest live- recodingsvEVER!

The best tour, they ever played.

Wonderfully stated by you awesome people about the PERFORMANCE Bono brings
Not just singing
BRINGING IT TO LIFE TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE

Tears in my eyes!  I was at the Show… which I will Never forget!
