Category: Rock
Style: Alternative Rock
Year: 1993
Notes: The second gig of U2 at the Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney (November 27, 1993) was broadcasted by various TV stations in various countries.

The duration of the complete concert was around 132 minutes.
To date, no official or unofficial release exist with the unedited concert.
The aquarium interlude (5 minutes) before the Zoo Confessionals is missing from all available sources, and was not broadcasted on TV.

The prefered sonically source is the official Zoo TV Live 2xCD set (114 minutes), which is unfortunately missing the whole "Television, The Drug Of The Nation" backing tape at the start of the intro, “Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World”, the aquarium interlude, the Zoo Confessionals and some other speeches and dead airs.

All the unofficial releases are taken from delayed TV broadcasts, which are all missing the aquarium interlude, and three main sources can be identified.

The first one is the Zooropa Down Under (KTS) 2xCD set (127 minutes), which was Date of released in late 1993 and has the best TV sound in stereo.
This release is missing the whole "Television, The Drug Of A Nation" backing tape at the start of the intro (140 seconds), “The Fly” is complete, but “Mysterious Ways” is missing 10 seconds that are badly patched.
This source was used on Sidney In Flames (Bugsy Records), Zooropa (On Stage) and Zoonetwork (NRG). This last pressing is the only one to have an added unknown male voice that is heard singing along at the end of "With Or Without You".

The second source is the Zoomerang Live Down Under (Backstage) 2xCD set (129 minutes), also Date of released in 1993, which is in mono and has a noticeable worse sound than the KTS release due a persistent parasite tuner noise.
This release is having the full "Television, The Drug Of A Nation" backing tape at the start of the intro, “The Fly” is missing 10 seconds but “Mysterious Ways” is complete.
This source was used on the Octopus reissue and Sydney 1993 (Live Storm).

The third source is the Mysterious Creatures From The Zoo (no label) 2xCD set (119 minutes), which was Date of released in 1994 and is also in mono.
This release is missing the whole "Television, The Drug Of A Nation" backing tape at the start of the intro (125 seconds), the Zoo Confessionals and "Can't Help Falling In Love".
"The Fly" and "Mysterious Ways" are here complete.
