U2 - Dublin 28/08/1993 - Multicam + soundboard

[@paulvigliotti444]

Bono was on another level on this tour

[@toddneupert7008]

One of the Greatest of All Time Rock concerts by the Greatest of All Time Rock Band, U2. Sorry, Beatles. Sorry, Rolling Stones. U2 is the best Rock band ever! I was 14 years old back in 1993. RDS live in Dublin broadcast around the world on FM radio. Recorded on cassette tape. Show me a Rock band that can do this today. There are none. U2 set the high bar, and no Rock band will ever reach such amazing heights. Pure energy. The band has been ascending ever since. Thank you, U2. Can't wait for the next album and tour! LOVE, Todd.

[@ColinDonnelly-up5xz]

I don't think so try Depeche mode instead constant ridicule yet proved everyone wrong and at that time of u2 they were the biggest band around check out devotional tour the biggest cult band in the world always have been bar none Even bono agrees

[@raymondwalsh7520]

I agree with much of what you said but ascending ever since ? No, im afraid not. I followed them in the 80's and was a massive fan. They hit the pinnacle with this album and tour. They remained on a plateau for a short while with Zooropa album and 'All that you cant leave behind' but I'm afraid they have been descending into mediocrity ever since. I cannot describe how big a world wide phenomena that the Joshua Tree and Achtung baby albums and tours were. Nothing they have done since comes near.

[@ColinDonnelly-up5xz]

This is one of the truly remarkable things about The Joshua Tree-if you just listen to the first side, you’re fairly convinced that you’re hearing one of the greatest classic rock albums of all time; but once you hit the second side (beginning with track six, “Red Hill Mining Town”), U2 are playing the phone book. It's only half a masterpiece i think the biggest surprise about The Joshua Tree is that even considering the high quality of Side One (and the nearly historic effect of the first three songs), 1984’s the unforgettable fire is a better album. Plus mixing artistic shoes with activism never works in stage They are two different platforms

[@alexissummerlouisejones]

Loads of us caught the original broadcast on cassette and did multiple copies. What a great night. Fantastic to see the footage of it. Whoever put this together is a legend!

[@ClimbingGuy]

I was one of those. And I couldn't find my tape since I've moved so much. So happy I found this. I've never seen the footage before. It was an epic concert I only had heard via radio.

[@jeffoliver7491]

I read Bill Flanagan's book "U2 At The End Of The World" which is about this tour. The band had him follow them around for 2 years and write a fly-on-the-wall account of this tour. Apparently because of the anticipated hysteria that would sweep Dublin in the build up to, and during, these shows Bono's wife and kids went to stay in the south of France to get away from it all. The book gives lots of behind-the-scenes details. I recommend it.

[@willmcconnell7233]

Excellent book

[@campbellallen4235]

I was at this concert, and you can hear my friend's brother shout my name four times, after Desire. Its at 1.40 and 20 seconds.

[@KundoKun]

1994, last year of high school, we used to leave school with friends and wander around downtown. In a record store, I saw a CD with a pink cover and an icon of a satellite, with a very *unofficial design* and Helvetica Bold typography: U2 Zoo TV from Dublin. x2CD. I must have listened to it a thousand times. I know every nook and cranny by heart. I never thought I would also get to watch it. Thanks and watch more tv!

[@jamisonjenkins9224]

This was broadcast live in America on Westwood One radio. I was moving into my dorm for my junior year in college. My college was about 75 miles from Cleveland, where the radio station was located, so I had a huge antenna out the window of my 9th floor dorm room and cassette tapes recording it. I listened to those tapes for years. U2 at their peak.

[@johnboyginger]

These shows have never been bettered by any act.

[@lucasphillips2177]

Jesus the "Bad" 2nd chorus is absolutely nuts. Sounds as good as the studio imo. Whenever I feel Bono is past his prime he reminds me he's just in a new form. Besides some of the late 90s ha

[@lorcanfeely6371]

The goosebumps this gives me. I was just outside the clarinet area to the left. Still the best gig I was ever at. ❤️👍

[@scottsmith4197]

Nobody's come close to this.

[@cw9817]

MacPhisto's "who will mediate for me" speech is profound. U2 really challenged their audience to follow what they were doing. Brilliant. There's so much depth to this tour if you track what the band was doing.

No olvido a nuestro amigo Juan, que nos acompañó y disfrutó con nosotros de tan maravilloso espectáculo. Gracias por siempre U2. Long Life U2.

[@tonobaro1581]

Te entiendo perfectamente porque a mí me pasó lo mismo en esa gira viéndolos en Madrid. El mayor espectáculo de música rock en vivo que jamás viví y viviré. Mi grupo favorito de siempre con los que me crié musicalmente poder verlos en la que para mí ha sido su mejor gira y posiblemente la mejor de la historia del rock fue un sueño hecho realidad. Un grupo absolutamente irrepetible con una música que marcó mi vida para siempre. U2 sois eternos ❤

[@TheLambLive]

9:08 You can actually hear Bono's guitar for once, and it's superb..,, I've no idea why, but they always seem to keep it very low in the mix in pretty much every official release.
