Can you believe that September 25th marks 44 years of U2? Looking around the socials, there are several things going on to celebrate this occasion. Right here in the Zoo, we have a couple of things going on. Tomorrow, (Friday, 25 September), we have the 4th annual (if my calculations are correct) U2 T-shirt Day: https://zootopia.u2.com/forums/topic/41325-u2-t-shirt-day-25-september-2020/?tab=comments#comment-1198471 On Saturday, we also have a listening party for The Unforgettable Fire, here: https://zootopia.u2.com/forums/topic/41346-u2getherathome-a-celebration-of-th

Elevation Live: Join our Watch Party on October 30th to celebrate 20 years of All That You Can't Leave Behind!

Can't wait! There's a Rattle and Hum Twitter Watch Party on Friday 4pm PST as well. Load up your R&H dvds and we’ll all aim to press play at (roughly) the same time.

I start my new (Seasonal) job this morning!!

no Unforgettable Fire play should be without the best B side ever... so...

One of the new “extras” released today.

R.I.P. to my mom - 4 years ago she went to join all of her friends and relatives who went to heaven first. I know she is helping us from beyond to make sure we have a new president in January 2021. Thank you, mom, for everything you did for me and all of our family while you were here. R.I.P.

“YouTube, Island Records, Interscope, and UMe have announced the relaunch of U2's Official YouTube Channel with weekly releases of the band's most iconic music videos and never before seen content on YouTube, all remastered at the highest standard.” Continue reading here: https://www.u2.com/news/title/remastered-on-youtube/

I'll be doing the same. (It feels like we're all honoring the memory of Bob Hewson in a way by doing so too.)

Me too. 👍

Ah, I agree! This is good news. I was going to write a grand review of all the DVDs they have ever released (since we have watched them all together in somewhat close proximity time-wise) and, as an extension, say which ones would benefit from an HD upgrade the most. Since I never got around to it, I’ll give you the briefest of summaries: the Boston Elevation show is the one that would benefit from an HD upgrade the most. (If this surprises you, it shouldn’t - Boston was the first live DVD they ever released and it hasn’t been revisited ever since (until 2020, that is, hopefully). Every o

I ordered U2 stamps from anpost.com. https://www.anpost.com/Shop/Special-issue-stamps/U2-A-Celebration

I got to be on local radio - for being a U2 fan Each day, the lunchtime host does a section on "Shropshire's Most Wanted" where he tries to find people who fit three categories or criteria. One of today's criteria was trying to find "Someone who has seen U2 live". I wasn't actually listening to the radio at the time, but I saw the post on their social media and rang up. I was put through and got to talk live on air about the 3 concerts I've been to - one of which, London 1 in 2015 involved me taking the radio station's knitted gnome mascot along with me - and he still has the badge. One

...and I got my copy of John Lennon’s new mini-boxset (w/ added advice for our president in the title) :

I got my mask for voting... ...and ones for demonstrating one’s U2 fandom:

Guess who's back? HA ! As part of the #U244 events, I'm teaming up with the brilliant Tyler of RevU2 podcast and bringing back a new version of the U2getherAtHome party! Off with the shows, on with the studio (kinda) ! We’re throwing a little party for an album whose anniversary is also coming up very soon. And I’m very happy to invite you all to join us for the #U2getherAtHome listening/watch along party : A celebration of The Unforgettable Fire this Saturday 26th at 6PM (UK) ! We’ve been working on putting together a Youtube playlist with a mix of studio/live vide

As it should be… All the thanks to Jo and Ty for this nice listening party at distance... We all may be far away in distance, but things like this make us close as a community. Let's see what the future brings us... meanwhile, take care and be safe, girls and boys...

Happy #U244!!

All sounds great! We (December) have a version of Heartland coming out. Will post links once finalised. Sounds like a great weekend coming up. #thankyouU2 #U244

I - after many, many months - finally finished 1st in the Diamond League (i.e., the highest of their 10 leagues) for the week on Duolingo! 😊 The highest I was ever able to finish was third (once in the Diamond League, once in a lower league that I can't remember). I even did it as a free member too; so, I beat out all the other free and paid members this past week as well. 😎 I have to give a lot of credit to Duolingo - they make learning a new language very entertaining. (I do recommend the app to others wanting to learn a new language.)

The first album and still one of the best!! Their first single and still one of their greatest songs “Out of Control”!!

I think it still holds up as well as ever. I can honestly say that if I heard it on the radio today, I'd be trying to figure out who it is so I could hear more of whomever it was. I'm always happy to hear Out Of Control. It's even better live. I remember when I first heard I Will Follow; I was in the student union of my college. It came on MTV. I heard the guitar and was hooked. It's 40 years later and I still cannot get enough of U2.

I VOTED TODAY, IN THE MAIL IT WENT, BYE BYE TRUMP, HELLOOOOO BIDEN

Since I'm working at home, I think I will be able to watch it!

How long? https://time.com/5899134/gisele-fetterman-racist-attack-pennsylvania/

I got to fire (on a personal level, anyway) our current president:

Damn, You missed it then. It's a great song. That MDH album has 3 gems. Stateless, TGBHF, Never Let Me Go and Falling at your feet is a nice one too.

They have now added Stay, live from Boston. 💚

Highlights now available to listen over here : https://www.u2.com/news/title/xtracts---from-u2-x-radio/ :

Nice new look for our Zoo :) Congrats

I like the new changes to the Zoo.

I hope Trump heals from Corona but what an idiot that man is.

😀😀😀 He is so screwed. I've been waiting for something like this to drop. I've been praying it did before the election. Look past everything and into his eyes. The dude is miserable. (no news, just saying) He bluffed when he ran. He never thought he'd win the election. He knew he was in trouble, due to his past, the moment he did. He ran to create press so he could find more money. I'm still wondering if he is even going to make it to the election. It would not surprise me if he takes the easy way out, takes his ball and goes home. I will struggle, for the rest of m

I will be doing the same once mine arrives. My good thing was reading this headline below. Joe Biden should say at some point during tonight’s debate, “President Trump, you paid more hush-money to women you (allegedly) had affairs with than you paid in Federal Income Tax for the past 15 years.” That would make my day. 😊

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone! And thanks @Madfl3a and revU2 for organizing this.

we do, but gracefully as this album has done...

the geriatric side of fandom likes R&H Bad but whines about the original video absence... =P

Of 4th of July of course ! I mean that song is basically the sound drugs make when entering one's system 🤣

Promenade....I remember not having the lyrics to the album and trying to decipher/write them down to this one.

Another good choice - the U2360 version of title track is one of my favorites!

This one makes me so so happy. Love this song so much.

I’m from the future, so happy U2iversary !

Cheers to that. There are times where I realize I'm not listening to U2 as much as usual - but never a time I'm not listening at all. Happy 44.

The Unforgettable Fire is one of my favourite albums, would love to be there on Saturday but at the moment I am not sure that I can. It is great that the band are upgrading their videos and putting them on YouTube, hopefully this paves the way for some physical releases of upgraded concert videos in the future as well. If I can't make it, have fun on Saturday.

Thank you! The funny thing is that, linguistically speaking, you know the two languages that are closest to Portuguese. Thus, you would have very little problem with the vocabulary once you understood the spelling differences between them. (The grammar could be a different matter.) Duolingo is wonderful! This isn't a random opinion - I taught foreign languages (i.e., Ancient Greek and Latin) for over 20 years. With that experience, I can confirm that their method of teaching is pedagogically sound...and fun! If you like apps that are more conversationally-oriented, you may want to ch

You are studying Portuguese? That's impressive. I know Spanish and Italian. Portuguese is a whole other ball game. I don't even try to understand when I hear it spoken. I just listen to the flow. It's beautiful. I am going to check out Duolingo. Congrats, dmway.

Congratulations! Thank you for studying my native language!
