U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing & Mysterious Ways (Zoo TV Live from Sydney)

[@TroyTempest]

In the history of man-kind that is amongst the greatest shows there has ever been by humans and if you disagree you're wrong.

Hands down the greatest live show/tour ever performed. Saw the Zoo TV tour live in Germany ,,,,,, blessed to have witnessed U2 at their peak live performance. The band has been with me for 35 years,,,,,,, and still is. I don't give a f,,, what others may say,,, these guys are my heroes,,

Right there with you. I saw this tour in London when I was 16. It completely blew me away. I have been to a lot of amazing concerts since, but none of them hold a candle to ZooTV. It was breathtaking.

[@billvassi]

I have to disagree with everyone on here. Joshua Tree - Rattle & Hum & Elevation was U2 at their peak. Under a Blood Red Sky, Unforgettable Fire & Vertigo are up there too. Achtung Baby is their 2nd best album after Joshua Tree tour but this version of U2 performing wasn't my favorite. I've seen them 21 times & although I can't deny the grandeur of this tour, it wasn't my favorite. Still very good though. I loved their performance of Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World. I was so happy to see it performed at the Sphere again.

[@ctdrwy367]

We saw them in Atlanta and then went to Birmingham. Both shows were great, but the Alabama show was a little more memorable due to being outside. It was raining right up to the start of the show, stopped, and then started again after the show ended.

[@taekwondotime]

​@@tommycthulhu6572 Metallica was popular for about five years and then faded away into obscurity. The Black album is really their only real album. Guns N Roses.... same thing applies. They had a tremendous albeit short run at the top during the late 80's. Neither band is even in the same league as U2. If you want a comparable, how about the *Rolling Stones* ? U2 were the modern equivalent of the Beatles. Their popularity and their longevity is almost unmatched.

I saw Poison, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi and though their concert's were gr8, this was something else. I wish they would repeat the Zoo TV (Zooropa) tour so we all could see it again cause it's hard to explain how much fun it was for the crowd.

This was U2 at their very best-saw them in Belfast Botanic Gardens 26th Aug 1997 PopMart Tour. We watched from outside the venue as thousands did. People came out of their houses and flats to watch and listen. It was a great atmosphere, the young, the old, and the vaguely curious all watched and sang together-wonderful. Army recon plane flew through the spot lights pointed skywards during Bullet The Blue Sky- weird and yet magical.

[@ejspode9503]

A truly fantastic show, but it was almost the end. Prior to the 1st Sydney show, which was on the night prior to this one, Adam had an alcohol-induced blackout and missed the show. It was the first time since the early days of the band that one of them missed a gig. There was a lot of tension around this "betrayal" considering it was the much-hyped conclusion to the tour. But to Adam's credit, he pulled it together well enough to perform. He realised that he had let everyone down the prior night and wound up straightening up his life and getting sober. Otherwise, the bands fortunes might have been rather different.
