Rest of U2 Survivor: Zooropa - Round 1

[The Sad Punk]

Do I detect some local bias in picking the Dirty Day performance?

Not really - maybe a little, but I like that concert for other reasons. I like how lax Bono is for most of it. I think he might be somewhat wasted.

That particular version of Dirty Day is my favourite anyway, it's all kinds of rocking. Though I haven't seen the full concert for sometime, I don't have the files anymore. That was one of the main reasons I was thinking of a DVD/rocking new zealand trade.

I don't like Dirty Day from Adelaide, it lacks the explosiveness that Sydney has.


Or not so much don't like, but not such a fan of.

But that version kicks ass!!! The end solo just rocks! Better than the Sydney one IMO

I like the Adelaide gig overall better than Sydney, not sure if it's the business with Adam, or the band having their typical "dvd-filming-night" off-night, but Adelaide just seems like a tighter performance.

91 votes? Is Zooropa more popular than Achtung Baby?

So we're both agreeing on the fact that in our own opinions we differ on which performance was better


I'm glad we sorted that out

I agree about ATYCLB, but I can't decide whether Achtung or HTDAAB is second-worst. Achtung's good songs are great, while HTDAAB's good songs are mediocre, but as an album, HTDAAB is a more organised piece.

As any lover of quality atmospheric, evocative, beautiful, ethereal music would. It's an extremely impressive piece of work that is grossly under-appreciated by the standard "OMG PRIDE AND ONE" U2 fans. I would say it is the greatest burst of originality to come from U2 since The Unforgettable Fire. I wish they had more eagerly pursued other mould-breaking projects rather than returning to bland tried-and-true formulas.

Man, you're a strange one! I agree with you completely on Passengers. Your opinion on Achtung is bonkers because it is not only the best U2 album, it is THE greatest album ever made! ATYCLB deserves a bit more credit than you give it but it is still among the worst although not as bad as HTDAAB. There... fixed.

finally an album where the two best songs don't get any votes.

I'm pretty bloody sure I've got the Adelaide DVD somewhere.

hey axver... any chance of getting my hands on that?

 

[RavenBlue]

I used to hate Babyface, but it's slowly been growing on me lately. However, it's still my least fav here.

Do you have broadband Internet and know how to use bit torrent? If so, you can probably find it on U2torrents.com.

If not - I don't trade any more but I might be able to help out.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Axver, what's your email address? 'Cause I want to do this thing, I'm just asking for easy to find videos, like the Basel and Adelaide Zoo shows, as well as any cool stuff prior to that.

Yes, there will still be a picture of New Zealand getting it's prog on. And money for blank discs (or whatever).

 

[Axver]

Actually, I don't think I can help with Basel - I don't recall ever getting around to acquiring that particular DVD. I've got a fair bit of other stuff though. E-mail is amakaxver[at]gmail.com

I'll try to dig out my list of shows ...

 

[The Sad Punk]

Awesome. Thanks.
