    In that respect, I still don't understand why Zooropa is included in the Super and Uber Deluxe boxsets.
    I hope it does get its own release. I think it's only available on the Uber Deluxe set.

    It's also included in the Super Deluxe set, according to the tracklisting on U2.com

    Anyone see this before? It's not on the DVD. Wonder why they took it out?

    From what I've heard it's because the girl he brought onstage was underage (this coupled with them drinking champagne). Apart from that I don't see why Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World could've been left out from the video (and later DVD).

    What's the age in Australia for drinking?

    Interesting from Wiki:

    "All tracks played on that night appeared on the video, with the exception of "Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World", which was played between "Numb" and "Angel of Harlem". Many speculate it was omitted because of a controversy about Bono sharing a glass of champagne with an underage girl on-stage, while others believe that the band was unsatisfied with their performance,[8] however, producer Ned O'Hanlon stated in an on-line chat in 1996 that the concert was too long and needed to be cut for the video release.[9]"

    Not sure what I think about this. I'm happy that it's been tweaked and a little bit louder but bummed that it's not remastered.

    I am not surprised at all. All along it was not being touted as being remastered until they added the word to the description at some point and have now removed it.

    I'm really liking Garbage's version of Wild Horses. Second cover I like right now, with Jack White being the first one. Can't wait to hear the other versions. Damien Rice's version of "One" puts me to sleep.

    Right now the only one's I'm liking are Jack White's and Garbage's versions. Damian Rice's version puts me to sleep. The Killers' is a hit or miss with me...I need that guitar riff Edge does at the beginning of Ultraviolet.

    Would anyone like the full album? I am listening to it now, glad that Barnes & Noble did not have this issue of Q yet as I would have wasted about $9


    Patti Smith is awful. Gavin Friday sounds like farts, one is sleepy

    NIN, Garbage, Depeche Mode are ok

    That bad? One definitely puts me to sleep. So Gavin Friday butchered The Fly?

    How's the article on the album?

    well, what I meant is that they didn't have the U2 issue yet so I wasn't able to get it. I did manage to get mp3's of the cd though. It's not that bad, haven't got all the way through it. I think it is the kind of thing that you listen to once or twice and that's it.

    Gavin has a lot of electronic noises, some sounded to me like farts, :lol:

    :lol: That reminds me South Park. Seems like the only tracks that will get a consistent listen for me is Jack White and Garbage.
