This is one of these examples.
No known recording of the 1993-11-20 - Brisbane show exists, so it's one of these shows where any document from it is highly valuable. Here we present you with a soundboard and proshot recording of Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World.
It comes from a private tape sent by U2's crew to one of the girls that went up onstage with Bono for the champagne thingy. Isn't it amazing? It's as ZooTVish as it gets
Here's the original comment by the girl:
"cathlawrence: It’s all U2’s production company’s footage.
Back in 1993, when there was no internet o Google searches,
I made contact with their people in Ireland stating I was the girl on stage in Brisbane.
Then many months later a VHS arrived. It’s amazing and very special".
-----------
So, for the sake of completism here's the very only recording of Brisbane '93 that will ever see the light of day.
And yet another proof that U2 record most/all of their shows in soundboard and proshot video! Imagine if they ever open up these vaults...
