    Anyway, after seeing that Zoo TV show, many poeple were finally satisfied with the new material. Nowadays, if you ask someone for U2, they'll probably tell you "Oh, yes,humm, The Joshua Tree... and Zoo TV".
  2. Definitely Boy era for me. There'd be nothing like following this band before the hype (no pun intended) and knowing they were destined for greater things to come. If I had a time machine I'd be at any of their Boy concerts.
    After that, probably the War-UF era (including Live-Aid performance).
  3. I'm 29, so I'm old enaugh to have in a sense a complete picture of their career. The u2 tournèes are the ones more beautiful than the others. I think ZooTv was the most trilling tour, I was 12 and I remember that even though I was a little girl, when I watehed it on television, I was amazed: In thath period Bono gave a very enigmatic image if hinself...whit those blake sun-glasses then...
  4. ZooTV - bit of a no-brainer for me. If only I was a child of the late 70s...but to have been living in the days of ATYCLB and HTDAAB is pretty good and makes up for a fair bit in my opinion (to be fair I was around when Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop were released but I really wasn't old enough to make much of anything in those days lol...)

    Not to mention PopMart era, if merely for the pure spectacle! I was only 7 when it was released...would have been cool to grow up during JT and Lovetown etc. too.

    I'm fairly happy the way things ended up though
  5. I've only 'actively' witnessed the atyclb and htdaab era
    so I'd actually like to relive every other era I couldn't 'live'.

    maybe especially boy&war and POP, because those were some of the most interesting imo
  6. no time like the present
  7. For me, I'd like to see a War show. I was a kid in high school when Joshua Tree came out and I really connected with the music. I wasn't much of a concert goer but when my father's Time magazine came out, I knew I had to see them live. I saw JT tour twice and they were full of energy and excitement. I was hooked. I saw ZooTV after the tv special. Again, a great sense of energy and excitement, but different than JT. I saw PopMart once and it was certainly a visual treat, but there was something missing. Elevation(once) was a great rebirth and Vertigo (twice) was a good follow-up and continuation of the focus on the music. I would have liked to have seen a War show. My brother saw them at RIT when he was in college. I was at that venue a many years later and I could appreciate the intamacy of a small show and the connection the audience would have to the band. It must have been interesting to see them when they were a raw and and still somewhat emerging.

    Dear Bono, The Edge, Adam, and Lawrence Jr.:
    Hey, um...so I might have some..."work" to do over in Dublin soon...just happens to be in the Hanover Quay region...right inside your studio in fact!...gotta check the...uh...walls...and...things like that. Any chance you might let me...ah...hang around while you're...you know...recording?
    No?
    Ok. Well...feel free to change your mind...anytime soon.
  9. It would have been the early days. Not Boy > Conspiracy of Hope, but the really, really early days of Feedback and The Hype.

    Very indeed
  11. I wished I'd gone to the POPMART tour back then .... greatest regret of my life that I didn't go... I was 20 back then and I have no real reason why I did not go.... if only I could turn back time *le sigh*
  12. I'de be in Slane Castle in 1984 for the Unforgettable Fire sessions
