Performance:

Some hiccups, but the new songs and U2's excitement to be playing them are fantastic.

Audience:

This part is only rated, not commented on.

Sound:

Good for an audience recording

Overall:

Highlights:

Zoo Station - Everyone's so excited to be back, and it shows.
Even Better than the Real Thing - It's performed in the key of A for the last time until the 360 tour. It's more mellow this way.
Mysterious Ways - "You've been waiting for so long. You've missed it for so long. Too long!" Good guitar work from Edge.
Angel of Harlem - The crowd sings along really loudly. Bono improvises "...when we touched the ground at Disneyland."
Desire - again, lots of audience excitement, and a cool Not Fade Away snippet.
Ultraviolet - the intro is just Edge playing, with drums and bass coming in later. Sounds cool, but they ditched it after a few shows.

Performance: Here it is, the start of probably one of the greatest tours in the history of music. The show starts off with a bang, U2 showing that their new stuff all raw and in its beauty. Even Better than the Real Thing was in lower key, and you can hear Bono ask Edge to 'turn it up'. Bono saves it by delivering one of the best after-solo vocal performances I've heard for the song. Mysterious Ways through Until the End of the World were phenomenal. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses has an extended solo which makes these early versions so amazing. For the rest of the show U2 did well. Pride was alright to hear, and there was no MLK speech in the middle. The crowd made Still Haven't Found come alive, which it always seemed to do. Desire was a fan favorite too. There was a fuss up at the start of Ultraviolet, maybe because it was under-rehearsed? I however liked the delayed drums and bass, it makes the song sound more guitar driven. The end of the show was cool. The band delivered what they could on the 1st show! Audience: The audience was in for a real treat here. I would like to point out that some U2 fans must have been disappointed because the setlist for the new tour was unknown until this show. Other than that kudos to the people for singing amazingly on Still Haven't Found and Desire. Sound: The band sounded nice and clear, not as close as one gets with 5 star recordings, but it didn't ruin my listening experience. Overall: This is U2's Zoo debut, something a moderate fan should hear for kicks. Highlights for me were Even Better than the Real Thing, Mysterious Ways, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Streets, and I must give credit to the boys for trying out Ultraviolet. It's a fun show, so let go of the steering wheel and get ready for what's next!

Performance: 'You forget, that the United States of America are so loud' Bono says during the very first Zoo TV gig. Well I'm wondering if he would still say that at this moment... But this is about the show. For a opening gig it's pretty flawless, meaning that they didn't seriously messed up a song. Of course the show doesn't flow like it does later on. I mean, closing the main set with I Still Haven't Found isn't a really great idea. Even Better Than The Real Thing sounds a bit stiff, mainly because Edge plays it at a lower key (a bit more like the album version), even Bono notices it : 'Turn it up, the guitar!' Other songs that were played (slightly) different later on this tour are Mysterious Ways (little longer intro + slide solo is a little less exciting), Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (fairly epic outro-solo by Edge). Also that, Ultra Violet has a different (but nice) intro, playing the openingriff first for one time and then again with drums and bass kicking in. At first I thought it was a mess-up, but listening to the rehearsals it was meant to be played like this. Overall a pretty interesting opening show, nice to hear how songs changed during the tour. Audience: It's a good American crowd, pretty noisy during the show, particular during Even Better Than The Real Thing, Mysterious Ways, Bullet The Blue Sky, Pride, Where The Streets Have No Name and Desire. Although they even had bad habits back then, iif you hear closely you can hear people having a conversation during the show. Sound: 3.5 stars, it's a pretty decent recording. Bono's loud enough, Edge, Larry and Adam are a bit too distant. Still enjoyable, didn't cause a headache. Overall: Highlights: Ultra Violet, Mysterious Ways, Bullet The Blue Sky, Who's Gonna Ride Your Willd Horses Lowlights: Even Better Than The Real Thing. Fan advice: very interesting to hear the earlier live versions of songs described above.

Performance: My type of show. Ballsy and fun. Large amounts of faith in the new material, I could never have saw so many new songs going down well with an American crowd but it went so well. It's great to here ZooTV at such an early stage and trying to find its feet. Performances were great and energetic. No opening night disasters, in fact this is probably the most impressive opening night i've heard from any tour. Every song is a hilight but special credits go to Wild Horses and Ultraviolet. Both hard songs to play I would have imagined. This is Lovetown but more fun. Audience: Very good. First US show in 5 years so they were understandably upbeat. They were no doubt not too chuffed by the amount of new material but they lifted the roof for the old classics. Good job. Sound: Not stunning but a nice recording to my ears. Good through headphones. Doesn't sound like a master and lacks a bit of clarity. Bass in particular is a bit muddy. Some channel switching throughout. Good recording though. Overall: A great start to ZooTV. It went on to become so much more but these early gigs are effing fantastic. A must.

Performance: First Zoo TV show, and they played 8 new songs in sequence at the beginning!! Audience: When a band presents many songs never performed before, they may be rejected by the audience, but this didn't happen here, and crowd are awesome. Sound: Decent bootleg Overall: It's a very fun concert. Highlights: Zoo Station, Mysterious Ways (especially at the end), One, Even Better Than the Real Thing (sound different, but I liked), Ultraviolet and a great version of Wild Horses, good job by Edge. Low: Love is Blindness is cut, but Bono was singing it very bad!
