After 32 shows in the States, ZOO TV tour hits Europe with an opening show at Palais Omnisports De Bercy (Paris) on May 7th 1992.
As you can see on the picture, front cover of this leg itinerary book is also very ZOO TV. Apart from the tour logo and the Achtung Baby U2 sign three other ZOO TV signs are shown on the book cover. The trabant, the star and the ZOO baby were also used on the tour, the tour program, tshirts and tour memorabilia, video screens and many other things related to this U2 era.
Milano dates were planned for February 20th and 21st but they had to be postponed to 21st and 22nd due to logistical problems.
Wien show was the first outdoors zoo show ever. Later on the band decided to play outdoors for the following tour legs.
The name of Christina Petro can be found on the U2 crew list of this tour. She was the bellydancer who shared the stage with U2 during Mysterious Ways.
U2 arrived in Paris on February the 6th just one day before the opening show. No rehearsals were planned but a soundcheck on the 7th right before the show.
European leg ended in Manchester on June 19th, 25 shows after the opening night. Right after the Manchester show, the band flew out to Dublin for some days off until the 3rd leg.
Some plans for the Wien and Manchester venues can be found on this book.
Bono (twice) and Adam Clayton signed my copy of this book in Berlin by the end of September 2015.
