Originally posted by KieranU2:This is going to be a big ask, but has anyone got the first broadcast of The Fly on BBC Radio 1 from September/October 1991? I saw someone on Facebook (can't remember where) say they still have the tape from when it was first played on BBC Radio 1 and I'm really intrigued to hear it. Don't ask why, it's probably just getting a buzz off something that was a massive evolution at the time for U2.

I somehow got tickets for this. I think the place held 7-8000. Sold out in a minute or less. Tickets said Zootv on it but obviously had no idea what that meant. You can kind of hear it in video during Zoo Station but this is still the loudest show I’ve ever been to for sure. The screams were so loud that you couldn’t hear sometimes. No one had seen them live for 5 years and you could tell. Still my favorite u2 memory of the 30 plus shows I’ve been to.
Seeing a car hanging over the b stage before show was surreal. It really did blow everyone’s mind that night. And leaving after Love Is Blindness was also strange as it was very quiet leaving and almost sad.

Cheers, that will come in useful for the hunt.
