"The ZooTv / Zooropa tour was just mind blowing and such an advance in the technology available to stadium shows and Christine and myself attended the Cardiff gig towards the end of our honeymoon, but sometimes the VHS /DVD tour releases replace the memories of your actual show experience."

argyleg has featured as a U2start fan of the month, read the full interview.

what they said

"Lots of us have a brush with mortality, it was an arresting experience. I won’t dwell in it or on it. I don’t want to name it. But these songs have that impetus behind them and it would feel dishonest not to admit the turbulence I was feeling at the time of writing." - Bono, 2017 on his brush with mortality in 2016

did you know

Larry Mullen Jr. is well-known for his dislike of the Passengers album. In 2002, when reflecting on the album, he mentioned while it hadn't grown on him, Miss Sarajevo (with Luciano Pavarotti) 'is a classic'. The song was played subsequently on the 2005 - 2006 Vertigo Tour, on the 360 Tour (2009 - 2011) and also on the Joshua Tree 2017 tour (even though it was tiitled "Miss Syria" then).
