When U2 launched its 1992 Zoo TV tour in support of its latest album, Actung Baby, they did so in grandiose fashion. In contrast to the austere stage setups from their previous tours, the Zoo TV Tour was an elaborately staged multimedia event. The stage featured dozens of large video screens that showed visual effects, random video clips, and flashing text phrases. The band incorporated live satellite link-ups, channel surfing, and crank calls, including trying to call President Bush, into each performance. Eleven cars - German made Trabants to be exact - hung from cranes over the stage. It was an incredible audio/visual cavalcade of effects designed to parody the media over exposure in a world where cable TV and the Internet reigned supreme. It truly was one of the most amazing stage shows ever created for a rock performance. Unfortunately, despite being in attendance for the U2 show at Giants Stadium on August 13, 1992, 25 years ago today, my only exposure to this incredible multimedia extravaganza is what I read about it. You see, our seats were to the side of the stage. In fact, they were so far to the side, that we basically saw some large support poles that held up all of the equipment!  So, if you download and listen to this soundboard matrix from that show, you'll basically have the same experience we had! You'll hear the music, but you'll need to imagine what was transpiring on stage!

Well I remember the contrary when they toured in Paris France. I was one hundred meters away but just in front of the scene... I could see the whole machinery and light show but the sound was a mess. It was so windy, that the music kept flowing away and coming back so that I couldn't hear what was happening on stage.

Thank you for sharing the audio of this tour,

Derek
