Is the moment that song is pretty much given birth to...
I like to watch that moment on Sydney, and just think about it... the incredibly long synth intro, complete with the lights. What would have happened if the band didn't decide to play this? In the Joshua Tree era and Lovetown era, it was generally welcomed... but how was it going to fair up against the next decade?
Again, as Bono walks the catwalk during 'Running To Stand Still' the synth-organ begins, and just at that moment, you know that something magical is going to happen, for Zoo TV, and almost every tour after, THAT IS THE MOMENT. Like nothing else mattered up to that point...
I like how the band decided to try it out and see how well it was received, the result was incredible. When played with the backdrops and lights, it's just a incredible experience. I still can't describe it the way I want to, but try to imagine U2 not playing it at that moment.
