U2 - Until The End Of The World & New Year's Day (ZOO TV Live From Sydney)(HIGH QUALITY)

The song's lyrics describe a fictional conversation between Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot. The first verse discusses The Last Supper (We ate the food and drank the wine); the second is about Judas identifying Jesus with a kiss on the cheek in the Garden of Gethsemane (In the garden I was playing the tart I kissed your lips and broke your heart); and the final is about Judas' suicide after being overwhelmed with guilt and sadness (Waves of regret, waves of joy, I reached out for the one I tried to destroy)

I was 12 when Achtung Baby came out, The Fly played on repeat on MTV. I was hooked. Bono was a rock God. They were the epitome of cool, during college rock radio and early 90’s alternative. I fell in love, hard. And my older brother took me to see the Zoo TV tour. Wow what a night. I will never forget it. I have seen them many times since but nothing, NOTHING, comes close to Zoo TV. And most people don’t get it. They don’t “get” Bono or U2. Until you have felt the loss of a parents at age 14/15 then you won’t catch it when Bono mentions it. I got it. The pain & loss you always carry with you from a young age. They are my first real love, they are the soundtrack to my life, songs that got me through parents deaths, divorce, betrayal, hope for the future, Joy, sadness, pain, new love, you name it. They were there. This is U2 for me. And what’s so great is U2 always plays these 2 songs back to back. Almost like they did it just for me (they obviously did not). Until the end of the world has been my favorite song since Achtung baby came out. Knowing it was about Judas betraying Jesus. Betrayal in general. Then New Years Day, he says, I will be with you again. The day my father died and we had to make a long trip home since he died in another state. My dad & I would watch the stars together. So all the ride home, I listened to New Year’s Day, I will be with you again and longed for my dad. I was 14. Then fast forward a few years ago when my husband at the time of 20 years wanted a divorce. Boy I really understood until the end of the world then. U2 helped me through again. btw first husband looked like Larry, 2nd husband looks like Bono. 🥰

i was there on my own at 14 years old, my mum gave me a choice to see madonna's (Erotica) tour or Michael jacksons (dangerous) tour which i was very familiar with both artists since i was a baby, i chose U2 Zoo TV, i dont know why i did, even though i only knew 2 songs at the time Lemon and Numb... it was the best decision i have ever made iv never looked back. iv been a massive U2 fan ever since :)

[@MetalliBunny]

so happy for you, I was 16 and stuck in Perth :( we did get Popmart in '98 but early 90's is what got me into U2.

[@alanpavlak5657]

Bono’s true command of the stage and crowd is truly uplifting and inspirational. The raw energy he brings to get and keep the crowd excited is truly immense. The end of the song with him and edge battling each other and Bono’s complete live and respect for him and the rest of the band is something many bands have ever been able to attain much less keep for over 43 years. So glad I saw this tour at Dodger Stadium with my future wife of over 30 years now was a magical experience. Too bad age and time have took that that energy away but still a phenomenal band. One of the greatest ever bands.

[@baneverything5580]

Bono used to be such an amazing singer, songwriter, showman, U2’s music has always had a special place in my heart. Especially songs like these. And EVERY song off The Joshua Tree. Had good times and memories listening to all those tracks. Now... well I ain’t fussed about there recent offerings. I still respect and admire them, for what they once was.

[@Will21st]

couldn't have said it better myself mate.... their recent work doesn't strike the same emotional chord it once did. I wonder if I just got older and jaded, or what. These guys gave me such incredible times.

[@renorailfanning5465]

How come no one is talking about Adam's bass playing on both of these songs ? So brilliant and musical !

[@jessicakunsminskas5158]

I know right!? And if you pay attention to the entire bass line from Till the end of world... brilliant!

[@MA-90s]

Because the whole band come together as one you just don't notice the genius every band member creates.

[@andubh9360]

I’ve always loved Adam’s bass playing - from the very early days (1977/1980when the band called him king of fake (since he used all the right and cool musician lingua-words and had an amplifier but may not have been a virtuoso/when it comes to technic playing or even keeping the right tempo or key) and since the time when the music critics slagged him off for his slap bass playing on the October album (maybe I loved his playing even more back then). To me he has always been The King of Cool. And I’ve always seen U2 as a unit, a band in its real meaning - where everyone is just as important, the sum is greater than it’s different parts and who are built on friendship. Not a group of musicians chosen by some music company talent people through auditions where the auditions are more of a competition to get the people who fits the record company’s mould(or is it mold?) and will sell the most records. (I know U2, like many bands, got together via an audition - but it was via Larry and a note he put up in the school they attended and he had seen some of them before)

[@cynthiabascunanvera3152]

Por lejos Zoo Tv es el mejor tour de U2. Espectacular!

[@taragreenetarotastro]

I saw U2 in Phoenix Arizona in Dec 1987 and the Zoo TV tour in Toronto in 1992 I think it was. ZooTV was awesome, a rock art performance piece. Bono was amazing. the entire concert was magnificent.One of the best I ever saw. They are one of Rocks masters and Bono does have the greatest singing voice on rock bar none.

[@scottbradley7883]

Tara Greene I was there too. Remember Bono had broken his arm in Tucson a day or 2 before. Everybody in Ariz. was pissed they publicly supported the Mecham recall. U2 was truly using their iconic rock status to bring awareness of injustices still running amuck in the world whenever they could. It was so refreshing to see and hear in those times. Our generation did care about things other than fortune and fame even if we didn't say it or show it like artists from 60's generation. Achtung Baby was the equivalent of Boston's self titled album. Every song on the album became part of radio stations playlist at one time or another. That kind of thing never happens nowadays, no matter how good or popular the artist is. It would be 1 of my "If I could only listen or own 5 albums list. I always felt it went unappreciated by many then I remembered hearing a couple of other artists, Lars Ulrich from Metallica being one, mentioning it as best albums made from first to last song. If released today it would still be a top ten seller and critically acclaimed.

[@darrenshaw4305]
