08 September, 2024 A chance encounter lead me to RDS
Flashback to 1992 were a chance encounter with Larry Mullen Jr. lead me on my journey to the RDS shows. One beautiful day, I was in a NYC bookstore and there he was LMJ standing right in front of me. Of course I recognize my bands favorite drummer! But no one else did, lucky me. So the uber private LMJ spoke to me for about 20 minutes talking U2, books and the hometown gigs, With that info I was off and running and began to plan in earnest with two of my friends for our trip to London and Dublin. We flew from NYC to London and saw U2 at Wembley on the ZooTV tour then flew to Dublin for the RDS shows. We took in all the U2 sights while there. Making friends along the way and driving all over Dublin in search of the band. We even wound up outside LMJ front gate. What a band what memories! Last yearI took a trip back to Dublin for my birthday and the 30th anniversary of those shows. The RDS shows are some of the Crown Jewels of my 50+ U2 shows. Thank you Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam for giving me memories and friendships that have matured through the years. Love you all and the U2 fan community. Thanks Kathy Lewandowski Fort Lee, NJ

03 September, 2024 Achtung Baby live at Sphere Las Vegas
I was at the Sphere in Las Vegas to see U2 in October 2023 with my daughter who came to her first U2 concert in Dublin 1993 at 10 years of age. We dressed up as Mr & Mrs Mcphisto and witnessed the best concert ever!! We met other great fans dressed up also and made amazing memories.

Saw the lads in Vancouver at BC place in November 92. My Dublin cousin got us tickets to the August 28 RDS show. T'was a lovely day, good crac down on the grounds. Ultraviolet/Light my Way was a highlight. Bought a bootleg-cassette the next day on O'Connell Bridge.

The best show you'll see for £20. Vinyl audio quality takes you back there.

I was at Celtic Park in 1993, it was Edge’s birthday. I was 20 years old and they just blew me away, still to this day the best concert I’ve ever been to.
Listening to this, after years of listening to the bootlegs…….it’s so AMAZING.
Please please release a whole album of it!
PS- the vinyl arrived, it’s beautiful.

31 August, 2024 First U2 gig
I was at the concert that day. My cousin and a few friends traveled from Sligo for the weekend. We'd seen the concert on video from the US leg of the tour and were excited to see it.
At one stage Bono came on the stage throwing out U2 EU dollars, my cousin caught one and gave it to me as a present. I still have it and the ticket from the concert. We've seen them together over the years, including in Sydney, Australia and this year we traveled to Vegas to see the last night of the Sphere concerts. Great memories.

30 August, 2024 Top recording!
What a great quality live recording, love it! Would love to have the whole 27th August concert like this! And who knows we may get it at some point :-) Not sure why the cd booklet says 28th August, of which there is a great bootleg. So, I'm glad I gave it a listen, instead of just putting it on my stack of other U2 cd's. :-)

Ciao from Italy! So Zoo Station, Mysterious Ways, Stay & Love Is Blindness are from the 27th and TTTYA from the 28th. "Recorded live in Dublin, 28 aug 1993" says the release so I thought they were all from my fav U2 concert: Saturday 28th August '93...

30 August, 2024 The Best Tour Ever
Glad to hear such a Vault...But please for subscriber's gift 2025 bring us the rest of the show!
I have heard on the radio the 28th August show, great memory and this is how I discovered the Live power of the band

30 August, 2024 One of the best
Probably the most I’ve ever enjoyed listening to a new u2 release. Pleasantly surprised that 4 of the 5 songs are from the 27th not the 28th, so the songs have never been heard in anything like this quality. This is the band at their peak. Not a complaint but suggestion, get the full gig(s) released, it would be their best live release yet if they did. But still amazing.

18 August, 2024 SIX OF THE BEST
Inwas very fortunate to take in 6 shows on the Zoo TV tour, one indoor and 5 outdoor.
I remember each and every one of them, from queuing up for 20 hours for tickets at Earls Court where we met likeminded fans that remain good friends today to racing to Wembley straight after work to catch the two opening shows on a Wednesday and Thursday night.
For us these six shows were and still are the greatest of the U2 shows we have ever been fortunate to see and each one hold a very special memory. Whilst the band keep on dreaming it all up again and deliver something very different the Zoo TV tour for me will and always be the greatest shows, they changed the face of outdoor concerts.
Truly amazing

ZOO TV was the second concert I had seen. The first was Dylan in the RDS in 1989. I had never seen a double bass before that. The Gates of Eden was mesmerising. A beautiful girl I met in college bought me a ticket for U2. I had heard Leni Riefenstahl films were being used. It was a warm evening. The opening inverted and questioned it all.

My friend and I traveled from NYC to see all three U2 shows in August '93 and met up with a bunch of friends new and old. It was an epic trip with epic moments that we still talk about. "The last was the best of the three shows," I wrote in my journal that night. "The crowd was excellent." What I still remember from that night on the floor was the huge, happy crowd and the overall celebratory feel -- including "a very dapper and smiling Gavin Friday holding a pint at the soundboard."

The Screens, the travants, the spectacular U2. Changed everything about what it was to go to a gig. I went to see a rock band but I mainly watched TV

It was the first live U2 show I saw on videotape in 1995. Amazing, hypnotize for 17-years-old girl in Russia, where was almost impossible to find any musical information about U2 at that time. U2 my love forever

04 August, 2024 What an adventure
Great release! I saw ZOO TV on May 24th 1992 in Vienna (Danube Island), Austria. Having become a fan in 1989 I have been awaiting an opportunity to attend my first U2 concert. As a 17 year old (not far away from age 18) I was finally excited about the anncouncement of a show in my country. I knew it would take about three hours to travel to the nearest possible place and back to my hometown. Due to the fact that May 24th was a Sunday and school would continue on Monday morning my parents first didn´t allow me to go there. After explaining again and again how much a U2 concert would mean to me they finally agreed to take me to Vienna and back home by car. I am still grateful for their patience and for being able to attend the show with my elder sister who already studied in the city. Having collected every little newspaper article about U2´s new tour in times before the internet, I was so excited to be part of a gigantic crowd and spectacle. From the first notes of the songs from Achtung Baby combined with trabants and huge TV screens the concert was mesmerising, thrilling and magical. The mixture of sound, technology and the presence of Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam brought me great joy and lifelong memories. When my parents took me home I pretended to sleep on the backseat, of course still excited...

The concert that has impressed me the most so far. The technological overflow was groundbreaking for the time. What a spectacle...

03 August, 2024 Absolute nonsense that the whole show is
I've just listened to the 'sought-after bootleg' that I bought soon after this show and the whole thing is absolutely stunning, end-to-end. In many ways it's better than the widely available Sydney show. It beggars belief that only five tracks will be released. C'mon, open the floodgates before we're all consigned to walkers and dinner at 5pm!

01 August, 2024 ZooTV Tour May 26 1993 - Nantes, France
To this day, I feel privileged to have experienced the ZooTV Tour. I was 17 (going 18) in 1993 when I begged my parents to drive me to the concert. I had to see U2! The nearest show to my hometown in France was Nantes, in the north west of the country. My parents waited outside the venue while I was attending alone and they drove me back home during the night (a four-hour trip each way). I asked two other fans, both girls of my age, to wait with them before the show. But what was the best memory for me, as a shy by nature person, was this feeling of freedom that I could feel. For the first time, I felt free to scream my passion and love for U2. Nobody could stop me because I was with other fans, and only the other fans could understand how I felt. I was uplifted, like a rebirth. I also remember the following few days: I had more confidence and felt fearless about expressing myself. I felt I had U2 and all the fans backing me up. I was no longer alone.... I had a family, a U2 family. And I was me.

30 July, 2024 Achtung Baby 2024
I had no money and option to travel in 1993. But every ZOOTV show was something world has newer seen before. Back in days there was no screens and graphics to support the show.
Achtung baby 2024 was a rocket in Vegas. But i think anyway they made a great show.....but...i think achtung baby should be in custom show with standard stadium. Vegas was just ....too much of a distraction from band. I think recreating screens from 1993 would be spiritualy best thing after joshua tree tour.
Technology allways win...but not this time. And...it was great that new drummer help the band to be there because larry is working on himself. But again....some of us who listen U2 for 33 years....we hear that...this is just not it, beats ware just....wrong and it was like drum machine.
For me 360 tour was better that Vegas achtung baby....shows. I miss that stage.
Thank you boys for being. See ya in next tour.
