Not really, I saw 8 Zoo shows. U2 were IT that year, Achtung Baby was one of the top albums that year. There was no doubt about it. The tour is a big deal this time, the album is not. I think you are being revisionist. MTV asked them why they started with so many from the new album and Bono said they felt like it. Then said we may lose the "pop" kids but we dont need them. THAT line is what created controversy. I dont remember any outcry about it amongst the fans at the time at all about them playing so much off Achtung. Most of the outcry was that U2 soldout by doing such a large production from what I experienced.
Here is another big difference. The pacing with the Achtung songs opening worked and worked very well. Not this tour.
