After all, U2 was, by this point, very involved in organizations like Amnesty International and was establishing itself as a political force. The stage was filled and flanked with a then-unheard of number of TV screens and video walls, filled with a huge amount of cycling video content and live camera feeds from all over the stage, including a camera feed carried around by lead singer Bono during parts of the show.Īmong other things, the video content featured a number of words from a library deemed on-message by the band and designer. Designer Willy Williams hung East German-built Trabant cars over the stage (the album was conceived and recorded in Berlin), repainted, with headlights converted to spot lights. Their tour behind the album “Achtung Baby” – called Zoo TV – was one of the most ambitious of its time, and helped create and push what has become the modern multimedia spectacle of live shows.
Back in the early 1990s, one of the biggest bands on the planet was U2.
