U2 ZOO TV Tour Leg 5 R.O.W. 1993 (Zoomerang/New Zooland/Japan)

Fifth and final ZOO TV legs will travel around what they call Rest of the World (ROW) visiting Australia, New Zealand and Japan. From November 12th to December 10th, 10 concerts will complete this final leg of this long tour.

In terms of itinerary book, I knew it had to exist and I finally found it.

As you can see, the cover is using a very Zooropa image of the band which was also used on tour t-shirts and other memorabilia.

A big ZOO TV logo on it with the names the tour was receiving on every different country this leg was covering (Zoomerang-New Zooland- ZOO TV Japan) can also be seen. A very beautiful cover indeed.

Back cover shows once again the logo U2 created for this leg of the tour. It was used also on the tour passes for this specific final ZOO TV leg.

Paul Oakenfold as a D.J. and Morleigh Steinberg as Dancer/Choreographer are part of this leg staff.




U2 leaves Dublin on November 7th to Bangkok (via London) where they stop for a breather before landing in Melbourne on the 9th. It seems they like Bangkok....they also had planned to spend a few days off in this city during the Love Town tour visit to this part of the world.

It can be read on this entry:

Their plan includes a possible rehearsal in the evening of Nov. 10th and an all day rehearsal on the 11th.

As I said this leg will travel through Australia, New Zealand and Japan for about a month and only 10 shows but it will be important because the official video release from this tour will be recorded during this final leg.

The book includes 2 pages with the ZOO TV Broadcast Team and their specific itinerary in order to prepare the double shooting planned for the Sydney shows. As we all know Stuart Morgan replaced Adam Clayton on the first show and 2nd night was broadcasted and shooted to be released on video some months later.

Once they finished the tour in Tokyo, they left to Dublin on December 11th the day after the final ZOO TV show ever.
