Disco de U2: “Zoo TV: Live from Sidney [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):

I was a newbie to U2 when I first rented a VHS copy of this concert. I am not exaggerating when I say that this show blew my mind, sparked my long-running obsession with U2, and expanded my interest in popular music. I only really knew the Joshua Tree when I saw this and I was completely surprised to see Bono strutting around in black leather (or sequined gold) suits. The concept is a genius overload of information, until the earnest U2 slices right through. One/Unchained Melody and Running To Stand Still/Where The Streets Have No Name are particularly memorable moments. The whole thing is exhilarating and dramatic like musical theater, except is actually good.

this is my rating for this fabulous stunning show.Sometimes you can't believe yr eyes and your ears..awesome picture and sound.The bass is blasting.Sincerely not recommanded if you live in a condo...

U2 demonstrate what are real talentuous pop stars.

For the rest push the click buy button and welcome to zoo TV

longing to see the pop mart DVd from mexico due september 18th 2007...

Any U2 fan who loves to see this band in action will really like this DVD in your collection if you don't have it yet. I have some DVD's from this band and this one is a must have. Place your order right away, you won't regret. I have played it several times since I bought it and I just can't stop. The picture is very clear and the sound setting is fantastic. Enjoy it.

I absolutely love ZooTV. This is the best full length concert on DVD, and it's about time they brought it to DVD!! This is a necessity for any U2 fan and perfect for someone who is not all that familiar with their stuff. It's too good to put into words. The band sounds awesome and put on a great show! And Macphisto has awesome shoes! =)
