BOX 15 G/H) -> Nero -> WAV -> Trader's Little Helper -> FLAC8 -> 2U Notes: The August 18th show is from a clear and well balanced audience tape. Played in the Arms Park rugby stadium, the audience are very excited and enthusiastic. U2 add “Dancing Queen” to the set, “Irish Heartbeat” to the “Bad” medley and “With Or Without You” to the encores while "When Love Comes To Town" disappears..MacPhisto’s phone call is to ex-PM Margaret Thatcher. ***************************************************************************************** Twenty years ago U2 staged one of the most elaborate tours in "Rock & Roll" history with the Zoo tour. The “Zooropa 93" tour was the fourth leg which began on February 29th, 1992 in Florida and would end in Tokyo on December 10th, 1993. In "Zoonited Kingdom" Godfather have collected together one of their most ambitious box sets to date. Six shows on twelve discs, they cover the bulk of the UK shows at the end of August. All of the shows are sourced from audience recording in very good sound quality and represent the best available record of these unforgettable shows. The setlists for the six, with a few exceptions, are quite similar, meant to be played in sync with the visuals. The liner notes discuss the structure of the show in some detail, pointing out that: ”The concept of the tour was inspired by a multitude of TV programs and focused on the strong criticism about the devastating effects that a certain type of communication had on the masses. The stage was made up of dozens of television screens on which were projected TV shows, lighting effects, clips of modern art, images of characters from past history and contemporary phrases or words meant for effect…". “Before the show, fans were invited to be filmed in a confessional and they could freely state their opinions, either serious or joking, and then see the result during a show break before the encores….Bono came back onstage for the encores transformed into his alter ego Mr. MacPhisto dressed in a gold suit, lipstick, makeup and horns, a sort of devil speaking in strong English accent and pretending to come from the past to call on the phone his designated victim, intimidating them, creating an ironic and theatrical short break, perfectly in line with the targeting theme of the show”. ***************************************************************************************** Zoonited Kingdom is a spectacular boxset for the U2 collector. As the liner notes say, “in August 1993, U2 were way ahead of the rest of rock, the Zoo TV Tour introduced a new and different way to communicate, making a multimedia event out of a rock show, where even the spectators in the cheap seats or back rows, could be somehow involved in an experience that was unique and extraordinary. The Zoo TV tour is still, even today, an inimitable and incomparable work of art”. ***************************************************************************************** Enjoy. That's all folks!
