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

"I could have lost you" I've always wondered where that was from.
Lakeland when he walked out with house lights on and sang that before Zoo Station was the loudest moment in a concert I have ever heard. That venue was so small it made my ears hurt. I think that venue only held like 7-8000.
Originally posted by LikeASong:I listened to Lakeland last night and... wow, it's amazing. Maybe the most groundbreaking tour start of their career... And it's great to see how the tour evolved! That's one of the greatest things about the Zoo TV Tour, how it evolved and morphed into different things as the time passed by. The 360 Tour has been awesome, but (even though having a more variated setlist throughout the tour than the Zoo TV tour) it remained being cohesive and basically the same tour. But, besides the basic structure of the setlist, the Lakeland concert didn't have much to do with the Tokyo tour finale, they look like completely different shows.
