With the tour back in Europe, this time in Stadiums, a new name was ready for this ZOO TV 4th Leg. The name was ZOOROPA and new iconography was used, related to the european union.
So, kind of a Zooropa flag was created similar to the recently born Europe flag. Twelve yellow stars were surrounding the Z'93 red sign. It was used on the front cover of this leg's itinerary book. 
On the back cover Zooropa baby, several TVs and Satellite Dishes together with the yellow stars once again.
This is a very thick book as it has to cover information from May 1st to August 29th, including Set-up and Rehearsals plus a total of 44 shows.
Crew was arriving in Rotterdam on May 1st and were joined by U2 on the 6th. The band went straight from the airport to Feyenoord Stadium for the first rehearsal.
Travelling information on this book might not be accurate. As you all might remember, U2 were recording the Zooropa album during the beginning of this leg, so they decided to jump to their Dublin studio right after some of the european shows and work in there until the next concert.
While in Switzerland they used swiss roads and for their show in Nijmegan (The Netherlands) U2 flew helicopter from Rotterdam.
Zooropa tour ends with 2 amazing nights at Dublin's RDS Stadium on August 27th and 28th.
As you can see on the next four pictures, a very few number copies of this book came in an exclusive embossed black leather cover. This was issued for the band and closest members of the staff only.
I have also found another rare version of this book. In addition to having the leather cover it includes not only the pages with the information related to Zooropa'93 but also all those pages related to Zoomerang. I can not confirm if the book came originally with both legs included or the Zoomerang pages were later handed to the crew. Which is for sure is that any of the pages has got the spiral bound holes so they were originally printed for the leather cover so they only have the 6 holes needed to fit in it.
On October 12th 2015 Bono signed on the back cover of my copy of this book in Barcelona.
RATING:
B (Standard version)
