Desire Total Running Time: [1:17:27] Lineage - unknown (to me!) - MTV (VHS/PAL) -> DVD-R - Ripped using SmartRipper v2.41 from PAL version (MTV) - Remastered using Sony Vegas 5 to convert to NTSC, correct edits and synchronization issues (during end of Zoo Station beginning of the Fly); added original intro footage (video) back in from Czech version (audio contained broadcaster overdubs); mixed in composite audio for that segment from Television The Drug of the Nation (Zoo TV DC 1992-08-16) and audience noise from Zoo TV Sydney - Reauthored using Sony DVD Architect 2 including new menus and navigation Synopsis: This is a great pro-shot compilation from the third leg of Zoo TV, dubbed the Outside Broadcast Tour. It was broadcast in various forms around the world in late fall 1992, with MTV carrying a substantially longer program in many markets (which included some documentary footage from the home video release "Zoo TV - The Videos, The Cameos and a Whole Lot of Interference from Zoo TV") at about 90 min, this version which edits out the aforementioned and runs 75 min, and the grotesquely edited Fox TV version in the U.S. at about 50 min w/ commercials. This version retains a lot of the fun extras, including the "Zoo Non-product" commercials, the Adam Stalker (night vision) video, many of the Kurt Loder interviews, the Bill Clinton radio phone-in, the random Zoo Confessionals throughout, the Rona Elliot (bogus) live interviews, the Pat Kenney show with the Doppelgangers doing "Horses" whilst U2 sits in the audience, and the Anaheim (1992/11/14) finale call to the White House. The source footage and audio has long been an obsession of mine. Originally I thought it to be entirely from New York Yankee Stadium. However, after obtaining the KTS disc "Outside Broadcast" which claims the audio to be all from Houston, TX (1992/10/14) which had same audio for many tracks, and subsequently getting the KTS pressing Zoo TV Live Transmission which is entirely audience recorded from the Houston show, I began to doubt that this TV special was from a single concert. This was later confirmed by reading Bill Flanagan's excellent tour biography "U2 At The End Of The World". Basically the band spent numerous nights in Los Angeles editing the special prior to heading to Mexico for the last 4 nights of the 3rd Leg. So after embarking on a fevered mission to collect audience recordings from as many of the 3rd Leg Zoo TV shows as I could (including most of the famed ones), I was slowly able to make audio reference comparisons and determine a probable lineage (one that the band has even gotten surprisingly wrong on many of their recent commercial offerings that contained select songs from this special). So, based again on hours of listening comparisons, here's what I've come up with: 1. Television, The Drug Of The Nation (w/interference from Zoo TV) (unknown - lots of spliced footage) 2. Zoo Station (New York, 1992/08/29 - while David Salz is talking you can barely make out Bono saying "It's all right - Babe Ruth's in the house tonight" in the background) 3. The Fly (Houston, 1992/10/14 - audio definitely ("Achtung, y'all!"), video could be composited, perhaps including Dallas 1992/10/16, from the looks of the stadium) 4. Even Better Than The Real Thing (New York, 1992/08/30, at least through 1st verse and chorus, possibly to the bridge; Dallas, 1992/10/16 from the bridge to the end (just "Edge", instead of the usual "Sliding down..." or "Sliding down the surface of things") 5. Mysterious Ways (New York, 1992/08/30) 6. Until The End Of The World (Dallas, 1992/10/16 intro (Bono shouts "Hold on!" before the opening main riff) through just before the bridge (again, just "Edge..."); New York, 1992/08/30 bridge to the end - not sure when the video switches, but the audio second half is definitely NY night 2) 7. Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World (Dallas, 1992/10/16 - Bono chuckles during "Your lips move but you can't talk...") whilst looking at Larry, who apparently flubbed part of his solo spot; and Bono to girl "You wanna dance with me, child?" - I have a crappy Dallas audience that fits this all to a T) 8. When Love Comes To Town (New York, 1992/08/30 - based on performance and Larry's wearing his black vest) 9. Satellite Of Love (Dallas, 1992/10/16 - before Lou Reed's solo, Bono says "Lou Reed - live from the moon") 10. Interference from Zoo TV 11. Bullet The Blue Sky (Toronto, 1992/09/05 - this is well documented, amazing performance; video might include some of New York night 1 and/or 2, but clearly you can see in some shots the giant Ferris Wheel in the background that is part of a carnival park in Toronto) 12. Running To Stand Still (Dallas, 1992/10/16 - the audio fits most nights, really, but the video has the same stadium appearance as Satellite, and Dallas was one of the few nights Bono did only 3 "hallelujah's" at the end of the song instead of the usual 4) 13. Where The Streets Have No Name (New York, 1992/08/30) 14. Interference from Zoo TV 15. Desire (New York, 1992/08/30) Anyway, it's quite a trip and certainly highlights great moments from the tour. A real gem. I tell you what - if they ever decide to broker a deal and get the rights back for production as a real commercial offering, I will be the first to throw this boot in the trash and buy the real deal. In the meantime, hope this tickles everyone's happy spots!
