I have to disagree. I think the guitar is much more epic in the Zoo TV version. (It starts at 3:25 in this video.) Although the version on the last tour was fantastic, I just miss that guitar!
Note this is the concert where Adam was too drunk to perform so his bass technician is there on stage standing in for him with shades and a cap on trying a bit to hard to be just like Adam lol
@welshsnowy? Totally agree with you.....I think this worked really well on this zoo tv tour.As a massive U2 fan i don't like to criticise the band but the current version on the 360 tour just aint good at all.
In my top 5 u2 songs. The sound sums up the band. No band has had such a consistent journey as this band. Ok the Rolling Stones maybe but not exactly roll models. Bono is God's favourite son on earth. BB
I think Achtung Baby is the best album and this is the best song of U2, in 1993 was the last time that U2 play Ultraviolet, now they include it in 360 tour.
I´m From México and it´s very sad that U2 didn´t comes in this tour, MÉXICO said PLEASE COME BACK !!!!!!!!!!! WE MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best perfomances of "Ultraviolet" that I have ever seen.
Wow, Bono's voice is so strong and has so many depths...
Even now on the "360 Tour" where it gets played almost every night they do not get that "vibe" and the passion that they were able to display in the "ZOO TV" era.
Sadly, Bono's voice is suffering from wear and tear i'm afraid too.....
Nevertheless, U2 remains one of the best and most heartwarming band EVER.
Bono dans la période éclatée du groupe: irrévérence, expériences, cassure du modèle, passion criante. Du U2 qui rentre au corps, qui se met à nu et qui présente sa franchise et son plaisir de communier avec son public. Comme toujours, un Bono qui se défonce et qui fait rêver, un Bono qui fait voyager et un The Edge égal à lui-même = le moteur qui met en note la communion du groupe vers son public. Merci U2, Merci à vos 30 ans de cadeaux !
This and the best versions of Mysterious are by far their best from the 90's. This must have been indoors.. wasn't Macphisto designed for the European outdoor concerts that summer..this was the Mirror Ball Man.. someone kindly reminded me of the name of this character only the other day..
Yup, Mirror Ball Man appeared on the first two legs of the Zoo TV tour (North America and Europe) as well as the Zoo TV Outside Broadcast shows in North America.
Mr. MacPhisto replaced Mirror Ball Man in the Zooropa, Zoomerang, New Zooland and Japan shows.
They have been rehearsing it daily in Barcelona so you can be almost certain they will have it on the setlist for the tour, I just hope it stays until the Chicago shows
It kills me to say it, but I have to agree with you. I've been a U2 nutcase since '84 so I know U2 are capable of conjuring magic out of thin air, but this new album is a disappointment. Some of the lyrics are so cheesy they make me cringe. Don't get me wrong, they are still the best live band on the planet. It's just that I have no idea what they were thinking when they wrote Boots, Crazy, Breathe, etc.
Having said that, the first track No Line On The Horizon is awesome. Total wall of sound.
Amen bro, that song is wicked, and i'm still waiting for U2 to write again songs like so cruel, spanish eyes, running to stand still, damn! even promenade is better that the new songs, but i still keep the faith. Peace!
Every time I listen to this song I can't help but think to myself "they just don't do it like they use to." I don't think their new stuff is 'crap' but where is the gorgeous melody and the heartstoping lyrics that Ultraviolet displays EVERY SINGLE TIME I listen to it. An abosutley timeless piece of music.
I so agree with you guys. I'm starting to think that we were just lucky to have been around to witness the caliber of music U2 put out in our lifetime. I mean, if some new band released an album like No Line, I'd probably be singing their praises from the highest mountain tops. Problem is, we were lucky enough to be around to witness the release of utter classics like NYD, Pride, Bad, WOWY, WTSHNN, etc. So, in comparison, everything else can't help but suck. We've been spoiled. Now what???
You're right i don't wanna sound like an oldtimer but the new songs have nothing against the good ol' stuffthey did back then i just hope they'll realize that and get back to their senses
YEAHHHHHHHHHH FOCK THE BEST SONG BY ALBUM achtung baby 1991 ULTRAVIOLET (Light My Way) THE FLY ONE until the end of the world ZOO STATION so cruel MYSTERIOUS WAYS LOVE IS BLINDNESS Whos gonna ride your wild horses IS THE BEST ALBUM my favorite U2 U2 U2 U2 THE BEST BAND OD THE WORLD GREETINGS FROM THE PERÚ
THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 U2 THE BEST BAND OF THE WORLD THE NEW ALBUM 2009 TOUR 2009 SI SE BIENE UN GRAN TOUR COMO EL ZOOTV TOUR 92y93 porq su nuevo album tiene las mismas influencias al album
amazing, seems still so modern, relevant, even though 16 years ago, u2 are such trend setters, gonna dig out achtung baby now put it on, wouldnt it be great if they started playing this live again, slim chance though!
Amazing song and especially amazing live, used to listen to this from the Dublin show ('93), bought the bootleg... just awesome... I've seen clips from Washington, Dublin, and Stockholm on youtube... WHEN I WAS ALL MESSED UP, YOU WERE OPERA IN MY HEAD... YOUR LOVE WAS A LIGHTBULB HANGING OVER MY HEAD.
I don't think this can be repeated again, unfortunately not even by U2
