Zooropa (30th Anniversary Edition)

Product Information

In February 1993, U2 were on a break before starting the second year of their massive Zoo TV Tour in support of their chart-topping 1991 album Achtung Baby. A commentary on media oversaturation, the tour featured massive TV screens and interactive multimedia that gave the audience a reality show-type experience, making the entire endeavor an insanely ambitious undertaking. a b c d e f Browne, David (9 July 1993).
