Back in time; ZooTV or Red Rocks?
« on: August 12, 2012, 04:34:08 PM »
I was thinking about all of U2's epic concerts that I missed and I wondered.
If you could go back in time to visit ZooTV or Red Rocks which one would you choose?

Zoo TV all the way. Though I wouldn't want to see the Sydney concert if I had to choose any of them.

Red Rocks would be a great time, but... Zoo TV was amazing.

Zoo TV, even though I witnessed it first time around.

Red Rocks-era U2 doesn't interest me.

I'd hit up Popmart or Vertigo shows again before any of those two...but, if those are my choices, ZOO TV wins.

I am kind of obsessed with Red Rocks as a concert venue.  Just went to my first show there last month after 15 years of dreaming!  I've said since I was a teen that my first time machine stop would be U2 at Red Rocks, though I have to say Zoo TV would be much more interesting in terms of the music and the spectacle.

ZooTV without a shadow of a doubt. Only if it was a '93 show, though!

I think I would pick Red Rocks, would love to hear songs like Surrender, Two Hearts, Gloria and 11 o' Clock Tick Tock live. I also really would like to see a concert of their Unforgettable Fire tour where they play Wire, ASOH and Indian Summer Sky. Why haven't they released a DVD of this tour yet? All I found so far are bootlegs with awful video and sound quality. Same thing for Lovetown, why no DVD? A little offtopic but U2 really sucks in the fan merchandising department. Recent example; the AB anniversary edition. First of all the price. Almost 500 dollars for the uber edition?? That's just insane, they should be ashamed to ask that amount of money. And Why include the ZooTV Sydney concert? Only fans will buy those editions and 99% of those fans already have that DVD. Why not include a show from the indoor AB tour and the outdoor Zooropa ZooTV shows?

Zoo TV - if I was at least a year older and had a few more dollars in my  pocket, I would've went, no question.

Ok feel like an oldie because I saw both tours...

I'd go for Redrocks - smaller more intimate which was a bonus in those days
