U2 "Bullet the Blue Sky" (Live ZooTV) *First Time Reaction^

[@L33Reacts]

what song or album by u2 do think i'd like? Is the joshua tree really good? I might have to check it out. I'm so used to the live stuff now that I think I need to hear some studio material now.

[@lauraallen55]

Okay, you asked lol! This is a hard one for me because The Joshua Tree is probably what the average response would be as their 'best' album, but it would be about 5th or 6th for me (and many other hardcore U2 fans). It's also hard for most hardcore U2 fans, including me, to come up with studio songs because they sound much better live on all but a handful of songs. The Joshua Tree songs, especially the first three: Where the Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, and With or Without You will likely get a lot of views, and Still Haven't Found is one of the few that is better in the studio. There is a 'live' music video of that that is not actually live but rather the studio recording and I would recommend that one for sure. Another big song of theirs that I like better in the studio (as do other big fans typically) is One. One was huge, and would rival the top three songs on JT for views. There are three music video versions of that one. It was the song Bono wrote about them as they were almost breaking up as a band. Honestly, I would do one of the studio music video versions of One before anything else. Then, I would do Where the Streets Have No Name music video. The only songs I could come up with that sound better in the studio than live, and I tried hard lol! Btw, afterwards, I checked to see what U2 subreddit thinks, and they overall came up with the same songs I did. One I Still Haven't Found... All I Want Is You Unforgettable Fire Bad A Sort of Homecoming Numb Generally speaking, I think the songs from The Unforgettable Fire sound better in studio as do the songs from Pop. Otherwise, their albums for the most part sound better live. Much better... Sorry for the novella, Lee ❤🤓

@@lauraallen55 Good work, Laura😀

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

The Joshua Tree is great, especially In God’s Country and Running to Stand Still. The albums Boy, War, Achtung Baby, and All That You Can’t Leave Behind are also worth full listens. There is a 4-song album(? it’s kind of ‘leftovers’ from Unforgettable Fire) called Wide Awake in America that has stellar live versions of the songs Bad and A Sort of Homecoming. Definitely worth a listen or 20.

[@Johnny_Socko]

@@geob3963 Red Hill Mining Town -- one of the best rock vocal performances ever. But this is one case where it has to be the *album* version, because Bono changed the vocal arrangement for live touring in order to preserve his voice.

[@jamisonjenkins9224]

Zoo TV was the greatest live show of all time. They introduced technology that hadn’t been seen before and set the stage for what the younger artists are doing with their live shows today.

[@rohnnyjotten3985]

My all-time favourite version of this song, in fact, the 3 song run of this, Running to Stand Still and Where the Streets Have No Name from this show are spectacular.

[@blitztim6416]

They ruled for years. Hit songs and spectacular concerts. I don’t know why there aren’t more reactions to their songs and concert videos. They even wrote and performed a song with BB King called ‘When Love Comes to Town’ My favorite album is ‘October’. Which was not well received at the time. Certainly not the favorite of most U2 fans, but I love it. First track ‘Gloria’ is not about a woman. It’s a praise to God. A minor hit with a good video.

[@lauraallen55]

Most say Joshua Tree is their best. You say October, and I say Achtung Baby. I'm a massive U2 fan and that's kind of the one the hardcore fans go for. I do like October, Boy, and War as well. Honestly JT is in 5th or even 6th place for me. So interesting that so many gravitate to that one.

[@Linda-y9h]

U2 was frickin huge. They educated a generation about civil rights and terrible wars through their music. To me they were the first good rock band of the 80's. Thanks and love to you Lee. Gobble Gobble. ❤😊

Rattle And Hum

[@Lexwell_Lavers]

I was at the Rattle and Hum show in Tempe AZ in 1987 for the taping of the live album/movie, the whole Tempe show on KZbin is excellent. Great, great version of Bullet the Blue Sky in Tempe.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Saw U2 on their "Joshua Tree" tour in 1987 at the now demolished JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. Just as they were starting "Bullet The Blue Sky" a Jet Airliner flew RIGHT OVER the stadium, about a mile or two from the normal flight path. Don't know how they pulled that one off. The crowd was in a frenzy after that. Stellar show.

[@alexkasper5029]

I'm a massive U2 fan and ZooTV is easily my favorite thing the band has done. The inspiration for the ZooTV came from a few places. It was the first tour where the band would be playing in massive outdoor football stadiums instead of smaller arenas and they were very conscious of making sure that everyone in the venue had an amazing experience regardless of where their tickets were. So they wanted to put on a show that would be engaging in larger venues. U2's show designer Willie Williams deserves a lot of credit for how amazing that tour was bc he really was instrumental in both the concept and how it was executed. He has been with the band since 1983 tour for the album War and is a key collaborator in general, but ZooTV was really his baby. The band recorded Achtung Baby in Berlin when the Berlin Wall was coming down and there were these East German cars called Trabants abandoned all over the place. They were complete trash, the panels were mostly resin with sawdust and cotton wool instead of metal. I believe it was photographer Anton Corbijn and Brian Eno's idea to collect them and paint them as art pieces, but it was Willie Williams' idea to use them as light sources on the tour. After brainstorming various concepts, the band decided it would be cool to have the tour function as a traveling TV station of sorts that could feed in TV via satellite. They wanted to play with the idea of propaganda and how TV blurred the lines between entertainment and news. While channel surfing you could get footage of war next to films, cartoons, and music videos. How does that impact what is real and we see as entertainment? That provided the jumping off point for a lot of the visual content on the tour. The band also had gone through the 80s being known as extremely earnest and serious and that started to feel stifling. They wanted to shake loose of that image and in general Achtung Baby was meant to be a complete reinvention, their attempt to "cut down The Joshua Tree" and do what was least expected from them. They accomplished that with great success. In general the music U2 made in the 90s was so different from what they did in the 80s and it is why their catalog is so varied and dynamic. They weren't interested in doing what was safe or expected, they wanted to push themselves in more creative directions. As an album, Achtung Baby really broke new ground for the band and they wanted the tour to continue in that vein. Bono was interested in the idea of playing characters, putting on the persona of a stereotypical rock star. So he took Elvis's leather suit, Lou Reed's sunglasses, and an extra dose of swagger and came up with the character of The Fly. For the North American part of the tour, ZooTV Outside Broadcast, Bono created the character the Mirrorball Man, who was a flashy preacher who was selling commericialism as religion. Every night during the encore Bono called the White House trying to get through to President Bush Sr., which he never did. The prank stopped being fun when Bill Clinton was elected bc he actually wanted to talk to them lol. There were antics like that throughout the tour. During one concert, while flipping through the channels he came across an ad for a pizza place and ordered 10,000 pizzas, telling them to bring as many as they could and sure enough during the encore a pizza delivery guy was swallowed by the crowd in an attempt to deliver the pizzas! When the band was on a tour break in Dublin, The Edge, who was recently divorced, ended up staying in Adam's basement and was going through a hard time. He decided to start working on some music as a distraction and that led to the creation of the album Zooropa. It was produced and recorded during that break and was a big surprise given they were in the middle of touring Achtung Baby. The title Zooropa was Zoo + Europa and the European legs of the ZooTV tour were more focused on the issues facing Europe at the time. The EU had just been formed, but there were rumblings of fascism in many countries. The band became involved with a filmmaker Bill Carter who was on the ground in Sarajevo involved in getting aid to the people in the warzone and bringing the worlds attention to the genocide going on in Bosnia. U2 wanted to help in any way possible and ended up using their satellite link to feed in live interviews with Carter in Sarajevo. At one of the concerts at Wembley in London the feed was an interview with Carter and 3 women in Sarajevo, one was a Serb, one was a Croat, and one was Muslim and they expressed their desire to all be able to live in peace together. Carter was working with a firefighter in Sarajevo whose family was in Sweden. U2's management was able to find them and invite them to the concert so that they could be reunited via the satellite feed. There was another concert where they were able to connect a mother in the warzone with her son over satellite. She told Carter if she died at least now she was able to speak to her son one last time. These were super heavy moments in these concerts and at times threw off the vibes a bit, but the band wanted to do whatever they could to help. For the European tour, Bono created the character Mr. MacPhisto as the replacement for the Mirrorball Man. He was essentially the devil, as an elder gentlemen in the vein of "Sympathy for the Devil." He commented on the fascism that was growing again in Europe and often made a phone call to various leaders. (Bono had the remnants of his MacPhisto makeup in "Love Is Blindness" though he sweat through most of it and had thrown the devil horns into the audience 2 songs before during "Lemon".) This Sydney concert was on the last leg of the tour. Adam had been struggling with alcohol for a while and they had planned to film both nights in Sydney but the night before the first concert Adam had been out all night and ended up in the hospital in a coma that morning. Thankfully he woke up that day and was okay, but obviously he couldn't do the show that night and his bass tech had to fill in. Adam was back for the second night and they were able to film it. I think it is what makes that concert so amazing, the band was so relieved and happy to have Adam back. Adam has been sober since then. The performance of "One" from this concert is especially emotional and my favorite performance of the song. It was written on the verge of the band splitting up and has always held a lot of significance to them, almost losing Adam brought another layer of emotion to it. Sorry for the length of this comment. There is just so much lore to ZooTV and I'm a huge nerd lol. 🤓

War is incredible! Effortless listening from 1983. Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day and Two Hearts Beat As One were all instant hits. They still sound fresh today. The Refugee, Surrender and Red Light are three of a perfect pair (a King Crimson reference). I think you'll love it. I saw the Joshua Tree tour in Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Stadium in 1987 and loved it. War is a bit more raw but powerful. I still listen to it at maximum volume today.

In most shows, this masterpiece and this live standard transitioned into the sensitive socially critical ballad about RUNNING TO STAND STILL, impressively implemented by Bono, especially on Zoo TV Sydney in 1993. This song package was always one of the live highlights, which I'm sure touched you so impressively. Continue to have fun discovering good music👍✌.

[@karenclark8374]

Running to stand still is a great deep cut

[@ColeenU]

Album "October." Bono’s briefcase went missing. The briefcase included a working visa for Bono, notebooks and lyric sheets, letters to Bono from Ali as well as tour documents, letters from fans, and numerous photos. Some of these notes lost included lyric ideas for the new album, in various stages of development, from “I Fall Down” which was fully fleshed out, to a song called “Sunday Bloody Sunday” which was in the earliest stages of development.

[@Al-eb5tv]

U2 put out a live album and video in 1983 called Under a Blood Red Sky. This was a show from a tour for their 3rd album War. It's filmed outside at Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado. It was transcendent back in the day. Highly recommend it for an early look at them.

Well, need to follow up Bullet with the next 2 songs- running to a stand still/ where the streets have no name. Simpli put, stand still describes an individual's daily desperate search for peace and euphoria which transitions beautifully into Streets- the journey to find eternal peace/heaven.

[@Johnny_Socko]

For live performances, I would go for "Bad" from Live Aid. But my favorite U2 songs are "Red Hill Mining Town" (has to be the album version, as I said in another comment here), "The Unforgettable Fire", "A Sort of Homecoming", "Until the End of the World", "Zooropa", and "Where the Streets Have No Name". (Please skip the official music video for that one, it has ambient sounds drowning out the actual music.) In terms of which U2 song YOU (Lee) would like the most? I would probably say "Bullet the Blue Sky", lol. But you should definitely give the album version a listen so you can understand Bono's lyrics. And even though it's a studio recording, the production is really nasty. (In a good way.)

[@lauraallen55]

I've always thought that Bullet was really different some how than everything else on JT, and that it would fit much more on Achtung Baby. It was kind of a preview or precursor to that album in my mind.

Yes, "Bad" from Live Aid is a must-do. The studio version of The Unforgettable Fire is a great recommendation--often overlooked. Same with A Sort of Homecoming, which has some FANTASTIC & UNIQUE DRUMMING for the time period. So @L33Reacts, you may especially like that one.

There is also a lot of christianity in the songs. Bono has written a book called 'Surrender' with his thoughts about the songs about faith, suffering, 3rd world debt 🙏

[@gesundheit602]

I think it should always be studio version first, then live. When you listen to the live version first, not only do you not get to hear the artist's final creative vision of their song, but you can't even fully appreciate the changes they decided to make in the live show.

[@lauraallen55]

That seems logical. However, when it comes to this band and a few others, they are just so much better live. Considering how big their catalog is, it would take forever to hear a lot of their music. Lee heard a studio recording of one of their big more anthemic songs first, and wasn't super jazzed about it. Now, that he has heard so much of their live music and loves it, he is asking to hear what people recommend as worthwhile that is from their studio recordings. If you go on the U2 subreddit, you will find that their hardcore fans don't have much in the way of recommendations for studio songs over live. I can only think of a handful that aren't far superior done live. They are just one of the best live acts out there and that needs taken into consideration. I agree with most acts being heard studio versions first, but not in the case of U2, or for Springsteen for that matter - well, he's a mixed bag, but it doesn't seem necessary to have to hear his studio recordings first like it does with most other acts. Also, Bono changes how he sings from concert to concert, and even from night to night, so it isn't about hearing their 'final' creative vision in their case as it always changes. There is a reason that fans will ask for not just specific songs but from specific dates and venues with them - they are requesting the 'best' versions, and in most cases, everyone is in agreement. Slane Castle, Boston Elevation tour, ZooTV, etc.

LOL, yeah. The title is a difficult one for many people at first. Even @L33Reacts is saying it wrong in this video: It's "Bullet the Blue Sky" without any "in." That's intentional by the band.
