I was VERY LUCKY to have a sib & friends who got me a tix for ZOO-TV at Giants Stadium madspit: we missed getting tix for ZOO-TV at Yankee Stadium ) and I paid them back some time later when I got more work again!
Hi peeps! Work has been busy today, so I've just done a speed read of the last 10 pgs or so. Let's see, we have complaints already about what's being practiced & what isn't, new video/alternate video of rehearsals, suspected destruction of the stadium by fireworks, purple lights on the Claw & brownies with increasingly carnal tendencies... is that about it??
I don't think you guys wanna know how young I was during ZooTv... (I was born in '83...)
Am I the only one who loved Tutu's speech? Especially when it was still before Streets.
When all these people, work together as ONE!! ONE!! *streets intro*
I thought Bishop Tutu's speech ---> Streets worked very well. I prefer it to Amazing Grace --> Streets.
me! I love Bishop Tutu!
when you see him in an good interview you also see he has a good sense of humor !

Zoo TV was my first show, at Madison, Wisconsin. I went with my youngest aunt and one of my cousins, and we were super psyched. Our seats should have been great - first few rows of the stadium seats, directly back from the stage.
But no. Our view was blocked by a giant tee shirt stand on the field in front of us. So we watched the whole show on the screens.
Also, to be honest, the whole thing was kind of a blur. I don't remember much other than the woman smoking weed near us, and not being able to see.
I have vivid memories of the Zoo TV show in general, thanks to all the bootlegs, and I remember Bono muttering "shut the fuck up" during Unchained Melody because of microphone issues, but that's because I bought a bootleg cassette of the show later.
Woe.
So it was fantastic seeing them on Popmart later. I paid through the nose for a good seat with a friend, and had a great time. And mostly remember the show.
Hey Dazzled! I'm sort of bopping all over the forum, today.
I think we've compared notes before, but this was my 1st show, too. Flew into Green Bay where my BFF lived & we drove the 3hrs south to Madison - which was her 1st ever U2 show, also.Zoo TV was my first show, at Madison, Wisconsin.
