Zoo TV DVD release

[filmfreak]

Do any of you know whether or not an official copy of the Zoo TV tour is going to be released on DVD. I've got a copy on VHS and a bootleg of the VHS transfer to DVD, but it just doesn't look or sound the same compared to the dolby digital and dts soundtracks on Elevation and Come Home tour DVDs?

Zoo TV was the best gig I've ever been to, and I still can't believe that is hasn't been released on DVD.

Especially considering it was the most expensive tours of all time, you would have thought someone would have released it just to try to make more money from it!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys, just found this;

Universal New Zealand have informed us that the rumoured 'U2 DVD boxed-set' has just popped up on their release-schedule for September of this year. The set will contain three of U2's "back-catalogue" titles that have previously been unavailable on DVD.

The three titles due out in September are:

Live at Red Rocks
Zoo TV Live from Sydney
Popmart Live from Mexico

It seems that the fourth title that was rumoured to have been included in this boxed-set, 'The Best of 1980-1990', has now been held back for a possible release at a later date as an individual title.

I heard it was not going to be released due to the quality of the filming (Pay per view, camcorder type look) not transferring well to DVD. Of course I'd love to have one. A 'friend' has not given back my VHS copy and I miss it!

I hope if and when they do release Red Rocks on DVD that they include the whole show as well as the edited one. What a great show!

They need some Outside Broadcast footage

Desire/UltraViolet/WOWY from Stockholm

i read on the www.atu2.com blog there is a possibility the DVD set will include the entire MTV Jammed concert and Croke park from this tour. It'd be cool if there is a Croke Park DVD eh?

The thing is the Zoo Tv from Sydney was not the best recording of that era. I think the sound quality on the video is very weak compared to the Popmart Mexico video. I think if they are going to release an official recording of that era it should be taken from the USA tour of 1992 when they was at their peak and also when they were still playing "Tryin' to throw your arms around the world" which they did great live that year. I have a bootleg of the Washington show on DVD and it is fantastic and far better than the Sydney concert which was filmed 18 months later.

I agree that Sydney was not the best show of the tour, but just to clear up a minor detail - they *did* play Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World at Sydney, it just didn't make the video. Supposedly (meaning I've never been able to get my hands on it) there exists a Japanese laserdisc that includes TTTYAATW... but it also cuts out all the video prior to Zoo Station and has a credit roll over Can't Help Falling In Love. So you win some you lose some, I suppose.
