    It was a double punch... first it was the shock of The Fly, then if you still had any hopes that the album would sound more like U2, you got smacked with Zoo Station.
  2. Would love to hear this next year on the tour
  3. id rather hear kite but if zoo station replaced vertigo,mysterious ways,or beautiful day i would be delighted
  4. I’m quite literally addicted to this song nowadays. Up until last year it had been so long since I’d witnessed it live that hearing it 3 times in 3 weeks near the end of the E&I tour was a real treat. I can’t get the song out of my head and I don’t want to, it’s even to the point where the individual band parts are all standing out to me at different times, I can hear them in isolation, it really is the coolest song.
  5. I listen to this song before I go out on the weekend

    “I'm ready to duck
    I'm ready to dive
    I'm ready to say
    I'm glad to be alive”

  7. It’s interesting how they used George Bush in the intro. Like he was the devil and all evil. I mean why choose him? Wasn’t there many other leaders who were depressing their constituents and stealing their liberty? Just an honest conversation looking back at things.
  8. Do we have a name for the special intro used in Europe in 1992 (and maybe elsewhere, I don't remember how widespread it was)? The thing where Bono sort of distortedly sings 'I could've lost you' or whatever it is he says...

    I mean, if we list The Cry, Shine Like Stars, and Hear Us Coming, why not name and list that that extra verse, too?

    I think someone said it was a Irish Hymn. Don’t know name but agree it should be listed. I love those shows with that.
    I was at opening night in Lakeland and remember with house lights on Bono walk out and sing it. It was so loud from the screaming I couldn’t make out what it was. For a long time until I heard the bootleg I thought he was singing MLK. The place was that loud.

    Didn’t it had to do with the gulfwar being the first live on tv war?

    It was done for the entire first and second indoor leg of Zoo TV. If I am recalling it correctly it is basically jibberish/ad libbed at the moment. But Bono got the idea from the daily Muslim call to worship he would hear when they had they were in Morocco in 1991.
