*Zoomerang/New Zooland/Japan - Japanese version

post under construction...

Tour Legs: This program is from the 5th and final leg of the ZOO TV Tour.  This leg of the tour was known as Zoomerang (Australia)/New Zealand (New Zooland)/Japan (ZOO TV Japan).

This leg started at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia on 12 Nov 1993 and finished up on 10 Dec 1993 at the Egg Dome in Tokyo, Japan. A total of 10 shows to close out the historic ZOO TV tour.

On this leg of the tour is notable for 2 main events. 1) the concert in Sydney on 26 Nov 1993 is the first concert to be missed by a member of U2 2) the following night, the ZooTV Live From Sydney video is film on 27 Nov 1993. It was released on VHS at the time and more recently on DVD.
Dates covered in program: 12 Nov 1993 to 10 Dec 1993 (10 shows)
No. of pages: 36 (including the fold out front and rear covers)
Size: 35.5cm x 28cm
Printing:  Glossy cover with matte card pages.  This program is essentially the same as the program printed for the Australia and New Zealand legs of the tour, but of course with this being the Japanese leg we have the lovely Japanese text inside.  The tour itinerary page is in Japanese text as are all the pages with BP Fallon's Q&A, but all other pages such as the graphic art or band photos have the same English text as the 'English' version of this program mentioned above.
Cost: From memory I would have paid something around $30 for this program on ebay.  Like a lot of the Japanese programs they are slightly more rare due to the small number of the concerts that they were sold at.  The Japanese text is always an interesting feature too.  During times of inactivity by U2 this program could be picked up on ebay for around $15-20.  Online marketplace websites are more likely to list this program around the $50 range.
