Day 20… Zoo Station

2 Jun

If there’s one tour I wish I could travel back in time to see, it just might be U2′s Zoo TV tour in the early ’90s. Since I was a year or two old at that time, I’m now left to spend my night watching YouTube videos from those shows. 

This video captures the band at one their greatest career moments – they received endless accolades for their latest album, Achtung Baby, they started a precedent-setting worldwide tour, and the band sounds damn good live. The huge screens, video montages, and original footage that the band shot with mini handheld cameras on stage, not to mention a set of signature characters (MacPhisto, the Fly) that made phone calls during the middle of the set, throws Zoo TV in a similar class of live shows that we see today.
