This review is written by LikeASong and written on 2008-08-14 05:03 pm.
Performance:
The whole performance is flawless.
From the I Could Have Lost You of Bono, alone in the stage, to the Blindneeeeeeeesss... Good night!, the performance is perfect. There are virtually no mistakes nor bad performances.
The show also feature that great surprise of Dancing Queen, played with two legends on stage (the male members of ABBA), which makes the audience go nuts. Honestly, I have heared/watched/listened many other artists playing with U2 on stage, and my absolute favorite still being Dancing Queen on Stockolm. It's so weel played, and it represents how great is U2, capable of mixing that dance-party spirit of ABBA with their own rock-show style. Awesome.
The night is summarized on a sentence Bono said after Dancing Queen: "This is the most surreal night of my life!".
Audience:
Crowd is amazing throughout the whole show. Even though it's not that much appreciated on the Soundboard version, the existing audience recordings show how great was the ambient on that small arena.
The sing along with every song, and their presence makes more notable on Angel Of Harlem -Dancing Queen, where they literally go nuts. Also ISHFWILF-Stand By Me and With Or Without You get great responses from that crazy Scandinavian people.
That crowd was witnessing one of the most astonishing shows ever, with lights, industrial sounds, jokes, surrealism and great music, all mixed up.
Sound:
There are many recordings, remasterings, re-remasterings, mixes, remixes and matrixes of this show. Honestly, it was such a great show that it doesn't matter which recording are you listening to: it sounds great. The concert was broadcasted live to a contest winner on England, so there is a good Soundboard version from that copy. Nevertheless, I prefer that completely awwesome Excellent Re-Excellent Astonishing Fantastic Audience recording[/b] we all know. If rating could be over 10/10, this recording would be.
Overall:
Too good to be only 16 years back...

Performance:
his is one of the most flawless performances of U2 ever. The show is full of energy and creativity from the beginning to the very end, this was the peak of the arena period of the monstre tour, yet it still has its human sides, which was definately lost after they turned towards stadium performances. This footage reveals the humourous side of Zoo TV (few recordings has that), it's hard not to find the irony behing the floating disco-Trabant during 'Satellite of Love'.
During some concerts, the complexity of Zoo TV failed to continue for the whole 2 hours of the show, but this Stockholm perforaance is not one of those. Just wish the whole tour would have been like this. The audience breathes together with the band, their continous input gives the energy the band needs to give them an unforgettable experience.
The band offers a great setlist, every song just fits the right place, yet it's not mechanic.
We have probably the best rendition of the 'opening block' ever (Zoo Station-The Fly-EBTTRT-Mysterious Ways-One), a rare gem (WGRYWH) and the early classics are fitting in too. The only-very slight-disappointment may be 'Love Is Blindness', this show was too euphoric to be closed with such a sad song (I think it was a problem with every Zoo TV show, LIB is a brilliant album closer, but fails to be a final track of a satyre-based stage show). And we cannot forget the stage prescence of Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson, who are the coctail cherry on this Zoo TV cheesecake
Audience:
This part of the bootleg isn't reviewed, only rated.
Sound:
As this recording was taken from a broadcast tape, there are no glitches at all, nice, smooth deep sound dominates this bootleg. After a good remaster-treatment it can even be released officially as a memory of early arena-based Zoo TV spectaculars
Overall:
Go and get it, it's really, really essential.

Performance:
Excellent performance -
Particularly during Love Is Blindness and Ultra Violet, and Dancing Queen is absolutely excellent with the legends that are Bjorn and Benny from ABBA. I think it was eight songs played here straight off the bat from Achtung Baby - that is an achievement, and proof you must be confident, it must have been Acrobat the only one missing
Audience:
Have a go of that audience when the TV channels are changed just before Even Better Than The Real Thing! One other thing: they happen to know all the songs and can sing along. And not just to One either
Sound:
Apparently it was broadcast to some MTV competition winner. And it certainly deserved to be too. So you won't go wrong with the sound being a broadcast

Performance:
What can I add...?? I listened to this show several times as it is on my Zen. Angel of Harlem/Dancing Queen really is awesome, especially with the ABBA-guys playing with them. Bono's voice throughout the show is very good, the setlist rocks too. I love this performance of Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. Overall, I much more adore the setlists of the 1992 legs..like this one.
Audience:
I always lvoe European audiences and these Scandinavians really rock 
Sound:
Great recording, worthy it's 5-stars!
Overall:
I consider this one as an essential bootleg, like Point Depot, Rotterdam Lovetown and some others. Download it immediately if you don't have it already!

I couldn't be arsed posting on this show because there isn't a lot that can be said about this show that hasn't been said before so I shall type out Willie Williams thoughts for you all as he hits the nail bang on the head :
Originally posted by Willie William's Diary:
STOCKHOLM. Well tonight was the one. It was the night that I stopped during the gig and thought to myself ''This is the high point on my career''. The entire gig from the Globe in Stockholm was broadcast live to just one person's house - that of Mr John Harris of Nottingham, England. He won an MTV competition, so got the private broadcast. His small living room was piled high with TV's and of course everybody from the whole street was in there. There was also a camera at their end, sending pictures back to us, so at various points during the show, the living room in Nottingham would appear on the stage video walls. Bono would break to speak to them and they would reply of course. Of course by 10pm everyone at the Nottingham end was blind drunk, which made it all the more entertaining. Technologically it was flawless too, which was pretty astounding.
So later on, Benny and Bjorn - the guys from ABBA - appear. We have U2 and ABBA performing 'Dancing Queen' beneath the mirrorball trabant, being broadcast live from a giant spherical building in Sweden to one terraced house in Nottingham. I rest my case.

Performance:
--Zoo Station & The Fly always set the atmosphere right.
--Even Better Than the Real Thing killed.
--I loved the shouting during the beginning of Mysterious Ways.
--Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses is good but not quite right.
--More "fish needs a bicycle!" Yay!
--Dancing Queen was incredible. Hooray for Bjorn and Benny.
--Bad sounded strange to me. Both in structure and that crazy effect that Edge uses.
--Bullet... Oh... My... God. They sounded like they wanted to take on the entire world and win.
--Nice to hear Stand by Me. Still a magnificent song.
--Desire & Ultra Violet were incredible as well.
Audience:
You Europeans have what I call Passionate Mannered Insanity. I mean that in the highest compliment. 
Sound:

Overall:
Now this is a show to admire. The band was on fire (even though Bono was exhausted by the end) and the crowd was very passionate. If I performed this gig, I'd be on Cloud Nine. The audio quality was excellent as well. By the way, that John is a lucky freaking sap!

Performance:
Summary of my first listen in months:
+ I absolutely love the "I could've lost you" intro of the first legs of ZooTV, stunning.
+ One, great outtro
+ Until The End Of The World, classic rock and roll
+ Wild Horses, kick ass, great song
+ Dancing Queen! Edge! Replayed this song to sing along one more time.
+ Stand By Me idem dito
Great quotes:
"In Sweden we don't wear underpants"
"This is for one of the greatest photographers ever lived, this is for Anton Corbijn" (first time I heard this bootleg I had no idea he is a Dutch man)
Audience:
Fantastic, memorable: the crowd kept singing "oh-oh-oh-oh" after Dancing Queen
Sound:
Great sounding bootleg, one of the best in this era and one of the audible ones to listen to.
Overall:
U2 was in great mood, as they were often during ZooTV.

Performance:
+ WGRYWH - top-notch performance of a ZooTV rarity
+ Angel of Harlem / Dancing Queen - well, what do you expect with half of Abba on stage in their home-country!!
+ Ultraviolet without MacPhisto
Audience:
An insane crowd
Sound:
A 5-star recording worthy of it's status. Crisp, clear and very listenable.
Overall:
Arguably the best arena show of Zoo TV. Milan may challenge it and there are highlights in some of the American legs (WOWY in Washington, One in Tacoma), but as an overall record of '92 ZooTV you can't go wrong. Have this and Dublin 28/08/93 and you have the perfect record of this monster tour.
Essential. Download now.
