  1. AMAZING TIMES. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOO TV!

    I'm going to redownload Lakeland tonight for nostalgia purposes <3
  2. Originally posted by LikeASong: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


    20 years ago today was my first U2 show. All I can say is it changed the way I viewed u2. I left that show with this heavy feeling of what I just saw. Ending with Love is Blindness seems like a no brainer but it was very strange and very quiet leaving the show.
    We looked at our ticket stub before we went in and sayed what is Zoo Tv? wow ! Amazing night of my life!
  3. I'm going to start listening to Lakeland in three minutes (at 22:22 GMT+1). Whoever wants to join me is welcome to comment that amazing show, and feel free to do so in this same thread.
  4. Would have loved to been at one of those shows. But I was 6 when it first started...
  5. Words cannot describe the epicness of this tour. 20 years seems so long ago, I wasn't even born.

    Best moment for me is Bad from Dublin 28-08.
  6. I probably should've driven down to Lakeland for this show with a fistful of cash, and hopes I could get in. I waited for the show later in the year at Joe Robbie, as I assumed they would play bigger places.
  7. 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.
  8. Really great tour,just as good listening to today.Timeless.
  9. The best tour in the history of music, IMO.
  10. Anybody know what Bono is singing at the beginning of those indoor shows?
    "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.

    360 did evolve setlist-wise though.
