Universal music

ORIGINALLY released in VHS format, U2’s Zoo TV, Live in Sydney concert has now been re-released in a single disc or deluxe two-disc limited edition DVD package.

The concert disc contains performance number 153 of 157 concerts U2 performed in their five-leg Zoo TV concert tour, which began in February, 1992 and concluded in December of 1993. Filmed at Sydney football stadium in November, 1993 the concert contains 23 tracks, including songs from the Zooropa album, recorded and released during the Zoo TV tour. The concert is typical U2 authentic brilliance, with Bono up front singing and posing as only he knows how, mixed with (at the time revolutionary) a techno fest, including huge television monitors, interactive media and satellite dishes.

The music quality is fantastic, most of the time sounding even better than the real thing with all four musicians harmonising perfectly. The second disc includes four documentaries (one hidden), bonus tracks and extras. There is also a colour booklet that contains genuine Zoo tour stickers. This is a must for any U2 fan or anyone who wants to view the band at its best. Great value, the two-disc deluxe edition can be purchased for under $30 and the single disc for under $25.
