11 July, 2023 My favourite
Zooropa was my first U2 album ever. Back then when there was MTV on my small screen, I saw the video for Numb and was hooked, then Lemon wich I really liked, then Stay ... I fell in love. I was longing for that video, waiting every day ... and was hyped and excited when the Edge started playing that mini barrel organ and then I sunk deep into that wonderful video, beautiful song and extraordinary lyrics. As a german I felt a special connection to that video - although I'm not from Berlin. This video, this song - a perfect match. Still my favourite Song. I went and bought that album, fell in love with that soundscape (well, the wanderer needed a little of getting used to). It opened up the whole U2 universe for me. That was my starting point to get to know U2 and all the stuff they did before. Oh man, and I loved it. Thanks Wim Wenders for making me a U2 fan with that wonderful video. Still tears in my eyes everytime I see it... even after all this time...

08 July, 2023 Faulty or Not
I remember buying the cd format
I rushed home and played the first track
At the time I honestly thought I had a faulty cd disc because of long intro into zooropa
I always by passed as I thought it was faulty
How wrong was i
Looking forward for this Lp only negative side is postage

07 July, 2023 The riskiest album
"Zooropa" is my third favorite album, after "Acthung baby" and "The Joshua Three". I think it's the riskiest album in terms of public acceptance. It has many peculiar and not very catchy songs. The most beautiful for me is "Stay"

06 July, 2023 U2 is my therapy!!
U2’s music has been the soundtrack of my life. It appears every album has been in sync with all my trials and tribulations. I have seen U2 over 30 shows in the past 40years. I am going to Las Vegas in October and hoping to get tickets for December one show. Due to the cost of tickets and packages for air and hotel, I wish I can see more concert shows. After their residency I hope u2 does goes on tour.

My first U2 concert was Buffalo's Shea's Theater. They balcony was bouncing up and down! They shut it down because they needed to do a structural review to ensure it was safe!

06 July, 2023 Zooropa forever
I cannot believe that this amazing album is already 30 years old! It sounds so modern still. An all around brilliant piece of art. Amazing lyrics cartied by U2’s amazing melodies and sound. I trust that U2 will play several songs from Zooropa at the Sphere ❤️. The song Zooropa in that venue will be

06 July, 2023 Three EPs
First heard it on an early morning RTÉ radio programme; “Well that’s different” was D.J.s conclusion.
Not every composition by U2 is great, … some of them are brilliant. Had the Zooropa album been released as an EP, which EP would be the better; Side 1, 2 or, 3? 3, 2, 1 would be my vote.
ZOO TV live performances of Dirty Day and Stay are virtuoso and can’t be bettered. I do like the reimaged Songs of Surrender versions of these songs; but what first came to mind was the quote, "I don't think the lyrics are worth a sh*t to be honest if you ask me, ... I think it's all about the drums." L.M.J (1992).
Some U2 albums demand to be played at full volume, ZOOROPA is one.

06 July, 2023 Love every thing U2
I have loved U2 since I was a teenager growing up in Jamaica and discovering new music both from my island and from far away places. While at school in France in the 80s, I had the great pleasure of seeing U2s Joshua Tree as my first concert and have been a huge fan since.
Truth be told , Zooropa has not been an album that I have owned but I am excited to change that now
Thank you U2 for your years of listening and being a voice for your countless fans
You are most loved!

05 July, 2023 Mr Macfisto
I was 13 when I first heard Bono belting out Sunday Bloody Sunday, waging school I was. I heard it as I was approaching my friend's house at that time, and it blew me away. I knew there was something about this band.
Now, when Zooropa came to Melbourne, I was there, and it was the best concert I have ever attended. Mr. Macfisto and the group who put that together were quite literally telling us many things about the future, and now that Mr. Macfisto has returned, I hope he unleashes a nightmare for politicians all around the world. I wish I could be in LA to see one of the shows.

05 July, 2023 The Soundtrack to My Youth
I've been such a fan since they played at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis in 1982 and my older, (and SO much cooler) brother brought home a bootleg from the sound guy. Zooropa was a total zig for the band and I happily went along for the ride, even if it took me a while to "get" it. Great artists keep you curious and U2 never disappoints.

05 July, 2023 Groundbreaking
Such an enjoyable and unexpected follow up to Achtung Baby which is as fresh today as it was 30 years ago. So glad to see it celebrated again and hope some of it makes an appearance in the Sphere.

05 July, 2023 "The right shoes"
I was in my 20s, working in NYC, struggling a bit. I took "you've got the right shoes to get you through the night" as my personal rallying cry. Such a brave, remarkable album, start to finish. Stay, Lemon, Daddy's Gonna Pay, Dirty Day — these are some of the songs I point U2-curious people to.

05 July, 2023 love this but
I love vinyl and this record. I just hate these short sides. You have to flip the record every 12 minutes. First world problems I guess:)

05 July, 2023 ZOOROPA
'Zooropa' is one album I play a lot and I mean ALOT. I had it first on cassette, now on Japanese CD. There is a thrill to hearing it every time, it never gets old. I don't care what critics may say about it, it's a 'left turn' towards 'techno' and if there's one thing about U2 is that they never stood still. I personally think it's one of their most unique albums. All the experimental touches, the electronic and synthesizers flourishes, the airport sound recordings, the looped chimes, everything about it is charming. Then there's 'The Wanderer' with lead vocals by none other than Johnny Cash himself. A 'spiritual' song for sure, he and U2 make a natural mix here.
'Achtung, Baby!' is my favorite U2 album (and my favorite from the 90s decade altogether) and 'Zooropa' is a nice surprising 'detour' or at least an exercise in an experimental or 'left-of-center' direction. When it came out in 1993 I read that this was supposed to be an EP but became a full-fledged album, giving the Zoo TV tour 2 full albums to support. I am glad it did. I had seen U2 before during the 1987 'Joshua Tree' tour and I wouldn't get to see them play any of this nerer stuff until the 1997 'Popmart' tour. It was worth the wait.

05 July, 2023 I never heard it
I'm a fan of U2 but I was busy being a hooker when this album and Zoo TV came out, I only ever heard the song Lemon. Now that I'm 58 and have the luxury of listening to music and reading books I'm excited to get to know this time in U2's career. Life is good.

05 July, 2023 Would love to own a streaming copy
Are there plans to make this movie (and other concert films, including Rattle & Hum) available to purchase, all in streamable full HD? At the very least make it available for us paying U2.com subscribers?
