5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to get this..., August 15, 2006

This review is from: U2 - Zoo TV, Live From Sydney (DVD)

Well, I've never actually SEEN this show, but I've heard it. During the Zoo TV era, U2 reinvented themselves (not the first time, nor would it be the last) and it turned a lot of those "I used to listen to 'War' all the time in college" fans off to U2 and created comments like, "they haven't done anything good since 'Joshua Tree'." I don't see why. The Zoo TV era, whose music included Achtung Baby and Zooropa, is some of the best U2 ever. Now if only a Popmart DVD would be released...

Here's what's on the DVD from DVDTown.com (which I think was taken from the U2 site):

5.0 out of 5 stars The best live U2, September 16, 2006

This review is from: U2 - Zoo TV, Live From Sydney (DVD)

This is unquestionably the best live U2 on DVD, though "U2 Go Home -- Live from Sloane Castle" is also essential. The Zoo TV extravaganza was unprecedented in its scale and complexity, but what's amazing about this show is that the staging always complements the music, and never overwhelms it. The media-overload setup is absolutely dazzling, and it's imaginatively deployed throughout, but the emphasis is always on the four men at the heart of this great band. I bought this concert on VHS, found it later on a pirate VCD in Mexico, and am delighted to see it finally on DVD. Highlights include a "Mysterious Ways" for the ages (featuring fantastically passionate singing by Bono, and Morleigh Steinberg in a belly-dancer cameo -- she's the woman who would later become Edge's wife); a titanic "Until the End of the World" (aggressive and dangerous-seeming, in a way that U2 music rarely is); "Stay," "Bullet the Blue Sky," "Daddy's Gonna Pay ..." The rapturous Sydney crowd laps it all up and screams for more, and who wouldn't? This is an unmissable document of perhaps the most mind-bending rock-'n'-roll tour of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Live Show, September 28, 2006

This review is from: U2 - Zoo TV, Live From Sydney (DVD)

U2 fans will never forget the phenomenon that was known as Zoo TV. Zoo TV was a massively produced world tour that took rock band U2 all over the world. Long time fans may remember that they performed at the MTV Music Video Awards with Dana Carvey via satellite during the MTV Video Music Awards. The tour was in support of the groups 1991 album Achtung Baby.

It's surprising that such a well loved tour took so long to arrive on DVD. U2 Zoo TV Live From Sidney is now available on DVD for the first time. The single disc release includes a full color booklet and arrives in a special hard protective case. The concert that appears on the DVD was recorded on November 27th, 1993, a month before U2 wrapped up the nearly two year long tour.

U2 performed some of their biggest hits during this performance. Songs such as "New Years Day," "Pride (In the Name Of Love)," "With Or Without You," and "Where The Streets Have No Name," are among the hit songs performed during the concert.

U2 Zoo TV Live From Sidney has a running time of one hour and 56 minutes. The picture and sound quality are awesome. You really feel like you are at the concert when watching the show. The color booklet includes a 2006 forward written by Adrian Deevoy.
