Tech Notes Comments:
This is a terrific disc, combining live versions of songs performed
on the ZOO TV Tour with various soundbytes, chatter, skits, and
interviews with the band. Sort of the audio equivalent of the ACHTUNG
BABY video cassette. I've only seen this for sale once (the time I
bought it!), so don't pass it up if it happens to cross your path.
OUTSIDE BRODCAST and ZOO RADIO LIVE IN THE USA were assumed to be
bootlegged copies of the Island Records radio promo "Zoo Radio Transmit".
This is not exactly true. The official 'Zoo Radio Transmit' contains
only one (true) live song, a BRILLIANT version of "Slow Dancing". There
is also a very rough version of "Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad",
which was recorded on an airplane. I happen to know that there were
actually two versions of 'Zoo Radio Transmit' produced. The first one
was scrapped after the band decided that they weren't happy with it. The
person who produced it, Bill [last name withheld], gave a copy of the
scrapped version to a person who worked for the BBC. Then this BBC person
got ahold of some live tracks and booted it. I know this because I used
to work with Bill [last name withheld] and he told me the story. OUTSIDE
BROADCAST and ZOO RADIO LIVE IN THE USA contain the same "filler", but have
different tracklistings, as far as songs go. A true collectors item. Hope
this helps!
