Sound Quality:
Excellent soundboard.
Comments:
Exactly the same as Backstage's ZOOMERANG DOWN UNDER, but without the
video confessionals and some of Bono's speech before encore. A great show, but
listen to it first to make sure you like the sound. "Lemon", "Dirty
Day", "Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car" all incredible, as
has been stated previously. This concert is pretty much a standard ZOO TV set.
It is also the same concert which can be found on video as 'ZOO TV: Live in
Sydney'. What is interesting about this recording is that although it is the
same show as the video, the CD has not been edited between songs and contains
the ZOO TV video confessionals. Content-wise, these CDs are the same as the
pay-per-view special, which was broadcast live (via a tape-delay). However, this
recording does not contain the two "skips"' as the pay-per-view
broadcast and it is all in stereo unlike the pay-per-view (which was in mono for
the first 30 minutes). This CD set was listed with two very polarized comments
as to the nature of the CD. I was hence apprehensive in buying it, but I did
anyway (directly from KTS, incidentally), and thought I would throw in my two
cents worth. This is an excellent recording. This is the concert in its entirety,
including the Zoo Confessionals, MacPhisto's comments, Bono's comments (in their
entirety) after "The Fly", as well as the inclusion of "Trying To
Throw Your Arms Around The World". I have the video "Zoo TV Live From
Sydney" for comparison, on audio tape as well, and I am certain that this
CD is the whole concert. The clarity of the recording is excellent, with crisp
distinction within the songs (drums, vocals, guitars, synthesizer/sequencer
parts). The audience can be heard (clapping, cheering, etc.), but you cannot
hear individuals talking with eachother. The only noticeable drawbacks are that
the bass level is fairly low, and there is an error during Edge's second guitar
solo on "Mysterious Ways" (the rift repeats an extra time, and then
Bono's entry is cut off as though it were a "skip"). Otherwise, the
album sounds flawless to me.
