  1. Today, on 29th of February of 2012, it's 20 years since the most widely acclaimed tour ever started off in the Lakeland Arena, located at the south west of the Lakeland city, Florida (United States).

    Nobody but U2 knew by then, but they were making history. When they decided to hang some cars from the top of the stage, put random TV around Larry's drums and amplifiers, and build a catwalk that went long into the center of the GA area, they were making history.

    You're all U2 fans so I won't go into detail, the setlists, how the tour evolved from arenas to stadiums and morphed into Outside Broadcast, Zooropa and Zoomerang, how Bono developed his long-lastings alter egos like The Fly, Mirrorball Man or MacPhisto, etc etc. You all know that. This is just a celebratory topic. Show your ZOO love
















  2. I think I've told the story before, but Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses from Lakeland was the very first bootleg song I ever listened from U2. I remember the moment when I realized that bootlegs completely deviated from that I had seen/heard so far (=official releases), and I remember how struck I was with Bono's "Baby, can we still be friends?....... We still be friends?"... Many years later, I still sing that line every.single.time I listen to the song, no matter which performance it is. What about the falsettos on the second chorus ("Who's gonna drown in your blue see-e-ea") and the final part ("C'mon now, love, gimme you looooveeee, whoooaaa, oooh, heeeey, hooowww", plus Edge's solo)? It leaves me speechless. This particular performance of this song still ranks high among my Top U2 Live moments...

  6. Happy birthday to the most epic tour ever. It had a special magic.
  9. Seeing bits of that tour when I was 13, about to turn 14 is the reason I'm here today. God bless that tour and the first unpure fantasies that I have experienced because of it.
  10. Best tour of all time. Without a shadow of a doubt. Performance wise, visually, the attitude... pure brilliance.

    That's why Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses is one of my favourite songs.
