The video is a mix of two amateur cameras (one recording the stage from the seats and the other one recording the screens from the field), and it's sync-ed to the radio broadcast audio that was aired that night from Dublin to all Europe. That, together with a big, big amount of awesomeness, makes this video a true gem.
This is up there with the best, with Where the Streets Have No Name in the Santiago Popmart show and City of Blinding Lights in the Buenos Aires Vertigo show
All the things I missed out on. Sure there will be other bands, but none like this band, none will do what this band was able to do in the 90's. Great story man.
it is unforgettable for very many reasons! I was in London on holiday and I missed their concert in Italy in July. I bought the Zooropa CD on the same day in the morning at Tower Records in Piccadilly Circus and discovered that U2 played in that night. But I had to forget it , cause i didn't have the ticket. Then in the afternoon I was walking in a street and I saw a blackboard saying that there were still tickets for the show. So I bought the ticket, very
You honestly have no idea how amazing that must have been. I'm only 16 but would have given anything to see U2 on ZooTV, talk about their prime. I guess it's something you'll remember forever, I know I would have. I'm seeing them next Saturday and Sunday in Chicago and I also know it will unforgettable, but nothing compares to Zoo. Congrats man, you've witnessed something special that many of us would have killed to seen.
Absolutely THE best version of the song. I listened and taped this off the live radio broadcast as it happened in summer of 1993 - saw the ZTV tour in Wash.DC at RFK Stadium the summer before; an incredible spectacle! Agree with your sentiment - THE best version, thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting this. When I was 19 years old I saved up and flew with a group of people from LA to Dublin to attend this concert and hang in Dublin for a week - Amazing Time!
This song is FOR a girl when she's a mess. This song is ABOUT the aftermath. If being a drunk mess and then the hangover can have an angelic message this is it. Btw, this song is a product U2 being both at the height of their powers and as lost and directionless as they would ever be ...at the same time.
Without doubt their best live performance of any U2 song always comes from their home town. I was at it ... a full moon evening like a spot light on the crowd of blue ... a light a big home coming sitting room a day to be remembered :) ..
un dia antes de que cumpla 5 años ..estos deliraban a los fans de su pais ,que idolos...envidio a los que son mayores y tuvieron la gran satisfacción de verlos en esta gira
Brenner Plaehn They just played at the Roxy in Hollywood. It's a small club. First club they've played at in 30 years. Those that were lucky enough to get a ticket which weren't sold to the public said it was like a religious experience. Celebs that went that were never fans or even liked them are converted.
@KubrickKing Same with me. I am 14 and planning on going to Chicago 360 in July, but even that can't beat ZOO TV. I would give anything to see them back then.
Thanks so much for posting this. I was glued to my radio in California on August 28, 1993, listening to the live broadcast. I'm surprised I didn't wear my cassette recordings out. This recording is just as I remember it, down to the woman chanting "Bono! Bono! Bono!" at the end. Love it.
It's a shame he didn't throw in the line Bono said at the start of the song. He said: 'It's one thing trying to make a record while on tour it's another trying to play the f**king thing!' Great gig. Great memories. 18 years ago....lord have mercy!
Green light, Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigarettes You don't smoke, don't even want to Hey now, check your change Dressed up like a car crash Your wheels are turning but you're upside down You say when he hits you, you don't mind Because when he hurts you, you feel alive Is that what it is Red lights, gray morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depends on who's around You used to stay in to watch the adverts You could lip sync to the talk shows And if you look, you look through me And when you talk, you talk at me And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing If I could stay Then the night would give you up Stay and the day would keep its trust Stay and the night would be enough Faraway, so close Up with the static and the radio With satellite television You can go anywhere Miami, New Orleans London, Belfast and Berlin And if you listen I can't call And if you jump, you just might fall And if you shout, I'll only hear you If I could stay Then the night would give you up Stay then the day would keep its trust Stay with the demons you drowned Stay with the spirit I found Stay and the night would be enough Three o'clock in the morning It's quiet and there's no one around Just the bang and the clatter As an angel runs to ground Just the bang And the clatter As an angel Hits the ground
If this is August 28th, 1993 (as stated in the description) - then why is it not the same version as on the new Dublin 1993 Zoo TV EP? Here Bono sings, “And back home”. On the EP he sings, “Dublin RDS”. The EP is supposed to be August 28th as well. Anyone know the answer to this? EDIT: this version is actually Aug 28th. The new one on the EP is falsely dated and not actually from Aug 28th. The new EP release of ‘Stay’ is from August 27th.
@@Thatguy55595 - the higher inflection at the end of Bono’s “oohhh ohhh-AAA” is repeated more at the end. Edge’s arpeggios are also extended for longer to coincide. It’s almost like the first night they stumbled upon the idea, and then perfected it the 2nd night. Much tighter.
Im pretty sure they are different. Even the introduction differs. I don’t know why they didn’t choose this version for the EP as I think this one is better. Also it’s sad that they didn’t release the whole show but only a few songs
definitely the best live version of this song. Bono's' voice is always the best in Ireland
owenmarshall G he's sleeping in his own bed. that helps.
Mick Funny always
owenmarshall G so true! his voice at slane castle is almost unmatched
From what I've seen this is equal to Boston 2001.
Ali keeps him in check there lol.
I wish I wasn't born in 1991, I missed the greatest tour ever :(
this is U2 at their best. I've been listening to this concert for twenty years and I never tire of it
+Jay Bod Its in Dublin ,thats why
hey Derek I was in Cork last week! First time in Ireland but defo not the last.
Edge's guitar sound is so heavenly here !!

Late to your comment but I agree.
This is probably the single greatest performance of the band's entire career.
This is up there with the best, with Where the Streets Have No Name in the Santiago Popmart show and City of Blinding Lights in the Buenos Aires Vertigo show
I've listened countless versions of Stay over the last 25 years but this is BY FAR "THE BEST" OF THEM ALL!!!!
I agree, the acoustic guitar sounds way better than the electric one Bono uses in the live in Sydney concert.
Dressed up like a car crash, the wheels are turning but you're upside down.....What a line!!! Underrated song, and one of their best!!!
All the things I missed out on. Sure there will be other bands, but none like this band, none will do what this band was able to do in the 90's. Great story man.
I will never forget that show. The moon was beautiful the crowd was truly amazing
I can not find words. Words can not explain anything. This is just ... too beautiful.

KubrickKing yo yo I saw u2 in 1984 when I was 16. In New Zealand. Incredible.
I’m 14 been a huge fan since I was 2 I feel ya
Lucky you, I've never seen them live. I hope I'll be able to do so before they retire once.
Love Bono, that ballad put me in a infinite loop, thanks for the load jutus2nba
Yes. I like this song a lot
WOW WOW WOW...Bono and his voice...the guitar...everething in this song is beautifull. I could listen to this song forever
The Bono and Edge-only version from the Elevation and 360 Tours is gorgeous, but this definitely my favorite performance of Stay.
The same
Holly Shit! They sound absolutely incredible here! Phenomenal!
Absolutely THE best version of the song. I listened and taped this off the live radio broadcast as it happened in summer of 1993 - saw the ZTV tour in Wash.DC at RFK Stadium the summer before; an incredible spectacle! Agree with your sentiment - THE best version, thanks for posting.
OMG I was there that night!
Remember the moon shining over the RDS while Bono was singing Stay.
Thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!
Wow, even Bono's guitar playing was on time and was in tune. Shockingly good.
@Barry Obama He was playing a properly tuned acoustic guitar here, and an out of tune electric guitar in that video, his voice is incredible in both
Agreed, this is the best version so far, I always listen to this version of Stay
Best version of Stay love it
Agreed
La mejor versión que he visto!!!!!....The best version i've ever seen

oh how i miss that magnificent voice... it made it the best version of "Stay" ever
Best performance of Stay ever!
un dia antes de que cumpla 5 años ..estos deliraban a los fans de su pais ,que idolos...envidio a los que son mayores y tuvieron la gran satisfacción de verlos en esta gira
What a great song.
never heard such a great version of this song
the best U2 song (and version) of all time while just listening to the audio
I went to the show they played in London 8 days before...the 20th of august 1993......Unforgettable!!!
Martye mar wow I saw them aug 31 1984. I was 16. Then 1993 Zoo TV December 4 and then in 2010.
Why can't they always be as great as this?

***** Wow
Idiotic
Because Internet.
really is the best Stay. Edge's voice is sublime.
Love this..was there at the front :-)
You're very happy because of it, weren't you?
I've got so much love for this song.. beautifully sung here!
LuckyJrEskie
he says "for my friend Wim" . He means Wim Wenders, a german director. The song is in a movie of his Faraway, So Close!
The best live version
LA MEJOR VERSION DEL TEMA QUE ESCUCHE EN VIVO, IMPRESIONANTE, LO QUE DEBE HABER SIDO ESTAR AHI EN DUBLIN EN EL 93 !!!
The second best song ever...
I love it so much, thank you for sharing
The best one is probably Echoes or Starless!
The most powerful "Stay with the spirit i found..stay and the night would be enough" line..
London, Belfast and back home...proud to be a Dub!
@KubrickKing Same with me. I am 14 and planning on going to Chicago 360 in July, but even that can't beat ZOO TV. I would give anything to see them back then.
I went to the show they played 8 days before, the 20th of august 1993 in London Wembley. I was 19.....Unforgettable.....

I always listen for that final “Stay!” and this one is rich & delicious.
Sûrement une des plus belles voix du grand cirque du rock...sexy boy
It would be amazing if they release this on DVD
Gorgeous, just gorgeous.... !!!
Impecable!!!!!!!!
For me this is by far the best version of this song live!
Hermosa canción...desde siempre que está en mi..
great! love this song, thanks for posting!
Sweet. This really is its own thing. There are 2 versions of Stay in my book now.
It's a shame he didn't throw in the line Bono said at the start of the song. He said: 'It's one thing trying to make a record while on tour it's another trying to play the f**king thing!' Great gig. Great memories. 18 years ago....lord have mercy!
this is so awesome
Bela versão!! 👏👏👏
Yes

Super!

Best stay!!!! u2 rulez
Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Is that what it is
Red lights, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip sync to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay and the day would keep its trust
Stay and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you
If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep its trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground
Gotta love mullen jr. this guy is awesome.
this was 18 years ago to the day
3:59 wowowoowowow
This has to be the best live version of this song. And 3:59 is a definite wow.
Yes. Best part
I was there!!!
2009 the biggest band on the planet
ANGST... sweet, subtle Angst 💔😇💔
Just like glass
@LuckyJrEskie I hear there "Jim/Bill Donata" or "Jim/Bill Jonathan"

@jutus2nba thx dude :)
