Today I've received my copy of Sydney 1993 Japanese Broadcast DVD from 5speedracer5. Since I’m from Europe, I would like to send out 5 copies to people from Europe who first sign up here (leave their e-mails) . Also, I hope that some of the people who sign up would like to share copies of this DVD with others too (B&P for example).


So, here we go:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Thanks to 5speedracer5 who generously offered this show at this forum and to neutral who inspired me to do this share like giveaway.

Thanks u2music for the kind words to both Neutral for her inspiration, as well as to me. Moreover, especially thanks for continuing to share & enjoy...
:applaud:

FYI
related longwinded babbling, but with some useful morsels of info, from a related US thread...

Techie NOTE on lineage: S-video is the connection type between the sat receiver and Hi-8 deck, not another generation. Sorry for the confusion.

Additional thanks out to Prof_P and u2music, as well as Neutral, for sharing the love on this and related threads (and to everyone else sharing, too). Love to encourage trading over B&P, as it helps make accessible more shows to all and wider availability to our community helps reduce usefulness to those shady sites that try to profit off distributing, rather than enjoy by sharing these :wink:

Thanks also out to the people who traded this already. Due to your help, i have built up enough U2 to feed my fix (necessary supplements and vitamins not covered by the commercial releases) for a while and am greatly enjoying reliving the many eras of U2, again...
:drunk:

oh yes, for the record, here are lineage notes (corrected version) for your records...share and enjoy!

ZooTV tour - live in Sydney Australia <<1993 Japanese Broadcast WOWOW mix>>
1993-11-27

Lineage:
Satellite Broadcast (analog sat WOWOW channel, actually better than many digital satellite broadcasts where the bitrate is low to cram as many channels as possible)

--S-video--> Hi-8 (master, SP mode)
--composite--> standalone DVD
(DMR-E85HS SP (hardware 1-pass CBR MPEG encoding, chapters added), minimal menu)

ummm...anonymous (nudge, nudge, :sexywink: :sexywink: you know what i mean) comments from the provider of this version to the community, who can't get enough after buying the official releases...

Though i haven't done a complete comparison, things in this Japanese satellite broadcast version, which originally aired in 1993 by Japanese BS satellite service WOWOW and the later video release in 1994, differ in at least the following ways...


a) Trying To Throw Your Arms Around the World is included after Numb, before Angel of Harlem. Have read theories on why this was not included and can't comment (refer to h t t p :// w ww. u2faqs.co m/videography/#8 ...delete spaces to follow URL)

b) editing is quite different with many shots (40% or so?) using different camera angles than that of the video. This broadcast (93) was done before the video (94) and editing is credited only to Dave Gardener, whereas the video release is credited to Tim Waddell, Dave Gardener, Bruce McKenna, so i am guessing they edited from DG's original version adding some video FX and other camera angles.

Overall, IMO a tad less frenetic feel. Interesting to watch them side by side and then the differences are obvious. Suggest you play it back on 2 TVs/PCs with the other version for full virtual ZOOtv effect and enjoyment.
:rolleyes:

c) while Bono is channel surfing, you see some programs which are cut in the video. Other speech bits may vary. (Confessional?)

d) to meet broadcast time slot of 120 min, there is basically no intro (4 minutes shorter) starting almost immediately with Zoo Station. The end credits roll over the last song.

e) when Bono speaks between songs, there are Japanese subtitles
