This is one of these examples.
No known recording of the 1993-11-20 - Brisbane show exists, so it's one of these shows where any document from it is highly valuable. Here we present you with a soundboard and proshot recording of Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World.
It comes from a private tape sent by U2's crew to one of the girls that went up onstage with Bono for the champagne thingy. Isn't it amazing? It's as ZooTVish as it gets![]()
Here's the original comment by the girl:
"cathlawrence: It’s all U2’s production company’s footage.
Back in 1993, when there was no internet o Google searches,
I made contact with their people in Ireland stating I was the girl on stage in Brisbane.
Then many months later a VHS arrived. It’s amazing and very special".
-----------
So, for the sake of completism here's the very only recording of Brisbane '93 that will ever see the light of day.
And yet another proof that U2 record most/all of their shows in soundboard and proshot video! Imagine if they ever open up these vaults...
