well, I guarantee you'll see what I mean. I'm sure anyone who's seen this show will agree, and if any of you have yet to experience it. The reason I'm stretching this Song Of The Day post to include an unprecedented FOUR songs is that you simply cannot separate them - the transitions between each pair are so perfect, it just wouldn't be the same if I left any song out. This powerfully dramatic segment of the show comes immediately after the feelgood acoustic set, out on the B-stage. seems we all have our favourite moments of magic. :) This post is kind of inspired by sapphires13's special SOTD about a sequence from the Boston Elevation DVD. But I'll do my best, and hopefully you'll all go running for your shiny new DVDs and sit with mouths agape just like me. I've got my work cut out here, as ZooTV's 'Heart Of Darkness' set is really stunning beyond description, and has to be seen - no, experienced - to be appreciated. And what better time to ramble on rapturously about one of the greatest U2 concert sequences you will ever behold:ĭirty Day -> Bullet The Blue Sky -> Running To Stand Still -> Where The Streets Have No Name

Sadly, these days I rarely get the chance to sit down and watch it - but this month it finally came out on DVD, which gave me the perfect excuse for another viewing. Since then, I've watched it so many times I pretty much wore out the first tape and had to buy a second copy, and it remains my favourite U2 video release by a zillion miles. I purchased it in the summer of 1999, shortly after becoming a U2 fan (when my album collection still consisted of nothing but the Best Of 1980-1990 and Achtung Baby), and I immediately fell head-over-heels in awestruck love with the whole incredible show. Hoping this one will make up for it.Īnyone who knows me, knows that if I were to marry an inanimate object, it would undoubtedly be my ZooTV Live From Sydney video.

Sorry I missed my SOTD last weekend, I was staying with relatives and didn't have time to put something together.
