Complete set (Thanks Remy)

Note by Remy: This is a sticky thread with all the ZooTV phone calls, since this archive is going to be removed from this site with U2start 2.9 we'll stick to this thread for the phone calls.

As 'The Fly'

When switching channels after "Even better than the real thing" Bono stops at a pizza advertisement and turns to the audience "You want some pizza?" While the crowd roar, he picks up the phone and dials the number of the screen. "Hello? Is this Speedy Pizza? I'd like to order 10.000 pizzas for Detroit. We're at the Palace, you know the Palace? Yeah, I am serious, I'm very serious! You can't make 10.000? Just make as many as you can OK? What? My name is Bono....". As they wait for the encore, the crowd are confused when three man in blue uniforms wheel in a large cart, but cheer as one of the video screens zooms in to reveal what is on the card: pizza. The crowd chant "Piz-za, piz-za", while a handred pizza boxes are flung like frisbees to those within reach, leaving the crowd exhilarated and well-fed. (Reports say it was pepperoni.) The incident will prove one of the most notorious and much-quoted of the entire tour. For the 1993 tour, U2's merchandise company will print T-shirts with the text: I'D LIKE TO ORDER 10.000 PIZZAS' on the front.

Thank you so much for this. I have wanted to get hold of these phone calls for ages. Sadly a few of them do not work. Would it be possible to reload the ones that are not working and maybe put them on the Bootleg pages alongside the relevant shows. These are an important part of U2 history.
Many thanks. Lady G.

I second that request for the Macphisto calls. If someone could upload them all as one file it would be wonderful.

My suggestion for a CD title? "Speak of the Devil."

"I had no idea about videos, none of us did. I had just bought a brand new pair of red Doc Martens boots which cost me fifteen pounds, a lot of money back then. There was a scene where the director, Meiert Avis, asked me to spash though a puddle. I said,"I'll get my new Docs wet." He said, "Yeah, well that's what we want for the scene." I told him "Forget it." I wasn't getting the boots wet." - Larry Mullen jr. on U2's first video for Gloria
