Where is Mexico City?
According to Bill Flanagan in his book at the end of the world one of the best stops on the zootv tour was in mexico city, why not consider a track that has been played in one of the 4 concerts he gave during said tour in the city from mexico? a little disappointing, because i thought they would put the complete tracklist with songs from just the zootv tour since i consider it was the most overwhelming tour of the 90s

SO COOL!
I was in Detroit for that performance of So Cruel! So excited for this compilation--and I love it when a performance I was at gets released!

Outstanding!!!!
When is the Achtung Baby, 30yr anniversary tour going to happen? We are so ready for it and will follow y’all, all over the globe!!! The last tours were the most exciting and awe-struck shows we have seen! It has been one kick-ass album after the next and to get to celebrate each one 20-30yr later is absolutely priceless. The enduring longevity of the band, the continuous creation of inspiring and thoughtful music, and non-stop attention and awareness of the goal for peace and the fight for human rights, make U2 the best band of all time.

Decepcionado
Que mala selección de las canciones. Deberian ser todas del zoo tv tour y en su caso de canciones que no se tocaron en ese tour. No de tours como vertigo, 360 o The Joshua Tree tour 17. No tienen el espíritu de cuando salió el Achtung baby. Cada vez mas me decepciona U2.com. Creo que ya no renovaré la suscripción.

Love the Album Layout
Cool homage to the Achtung Baby album cover art!! Looks like a great catalog of hardware, software, and men’s wear.

What a GREAT Tour
I saw the tour at a couple of stops, none of these, but they must be good if they were better than the versions I saw!!!

Sweet!
Love the new packaging and love the idea of an all-star live album!

Nice live album!
We were in Dublin on August 28, 1993, (at the front!) and still have the cassette recording of the live broadcast live either on RTE or BBC. We got the train from Northern Ireland. A game changer album and tour in the information age and political landscape. Thanks lads for this great album.

Great!
Excelent memories for those Buenos Aires dates Maybe a 4K material will be great in 2023… Thanks

Makes me so happy to see Dallas from the ZooTV tour! I was there and 16 years old. It was my second time to see U2. I’ve been fortunate to see the band play 38 times and still just as exciting as when I was younger. I hope the 2023 tour rumors are true!!

So Cruel
I was there for "So Cruel" in Detroit. It was the night of the MTV Awards with Dana Carvey as Garth from Wayne's World playing drums to EBTTRT. Great night.

Cannot Wait!
So looking forward to this. Was at my first show in Chicago in 1992 and seen every tour since. I think this is a stellar choice and a fantastic idea for the fan club. NOT A COMPLAINT, but would have loved the Even Better from Glastonbury, but there is not a bad choice here. Please keep releasing these unique live packages!

Is that it???
None of the covers from the Zooropa tour? Satellite of Love? Help? Disappointed at only 12 songs thought it was from the zooropa tour
Chuckver2
Wow live from Detroit!!
MTV and Garth from Wayne’s World. Seems we are worthy after all.

I wish this had Zoo Station performance
Finally! I’m a little bummed however that they didn’t pick a Zoo Station performance from the first leg of the Zoo TV tour. I vividly remember the deafening roar of the Nassau Coliseum crowd when Bono sang his ad lib intro before The Edge, Larry and Adam took the stage. It was electrifying.

ZOOROPA 1993, EUROPE
What a wonderful time, the band was just incredible. I was at both the Dublin shows. Just thinking about the Love is blindness finally gives me the chills.

Appreciate avoiding Sydney!
Thankful they went around the iconic Sydney show since we've all seen and heard those performances. This is an outstanding list with a great variety of 1990s or 2010s as bookends. Love it!

I was there!
Fantastic. I was there at the Belfast and Manchester gig in 2018 so it's great to have professionally recorded tracks from those nights.
