Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. ZooTV toured through two regular legs before starting the "Outside Broadcast". What song was used to open every show of these two legs?

Answer: Zoo Station

The ZooTV tour got bigger and bigger each night, and by the end of the tour it was hardly even the same show as when it started. Bono's classic elevator entrances to "Zoo Station" marks the point where "The house lights went off and everything went weird". (Quote taken from booklet of ZooTV DVD)
2. Adam Clayton missed a show during ZooTV in what city?

Answer: Sydney

Adam had been drinking a lot during the ZooTV era of the band, and wasn't able to play a show on the first night in Sydney, where the DVD was shot. No footage from this concert was used in the DVD. In the band's entire career, that was the only show to that date that anyone had to be filled in for.
3. When were the fan recorded "Video Confessionals" shown on the big screen monitors?

Answer: Before the band took the stage for encores

The Video Confessional booth was set up outside the stage area and was open to the public to record their deepest secrets. U2 received people who admitted to being alcoholics, love confessions, and even the occasional flashing of breasts.
4. Which of the following was not one of Bono's ZooTV alter-egos?

Answer: The Vegas Preacher

"The Fly" was Bono's opening character, who was present for "Zoo Station" all the way through the bands first seven or eight songs. "Mirror-Ball Man" was an early character who only lasted through about a leg of the tour, who used to preach a sermon about television in the middle of "Desire". "Mr. Macphisto" was often presented during "Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car" and remained onstage until the end of the show.
5. Who is the only member of U2 to not play a major part in the song "Numb"?

Answer: Bono

The Edge provides guitar chords and vocals, Adam Clayton plays the bassline, and Larry drums as well as sings. He's the one in the chorus singing "I feel numb".
6. On the "ZooTV: Live From Sydney" DVD, confetti is shot out of cannons during which song?

Answer: Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car

If you watch the DVD carefully, as soon as the first set of cannons blast, Adam Clayton jumps. The blasts are very loud and he's not expecting one, so his reaction is rather entertaining.
7. What song from "Achtung Baby" was rehearsed to be performed, but was not actually played live to the public until 2018?

Answer: Acrobat

Not only was "Acrobat" never played live on the ZooTV tour, it's never been played live EVER. The song was rehearsed to be played live in Hershey, Pennsylvania, but it was later dropped from the setlist before the shows but returned for the 2018 tour.
8. What city did ZooTV finally close in?

Answer: Tokyo

ZooTV closed in Tokyo. The other choices are included because Sydney was where the ZooTV DVD was filmed, and Boston/Dublin are the two locations of the Elevation tour's DVDs. I thought they might throw you off.
9. On the Sydney DVD, which of these songs does Bono perform as himself, with no costumes or alter-ego?

Answer: Where the Streets Have No Name

"Lemon" and "With or Without You" are both performed as Mr. Macphisto, even though during the latter, most of his makeup is running off of his face from his sweat. "Even Better Than the Real Thing" was almost always in the band's first five songs of the night, and was performed by Bono as The Fly.
10. How many pizzas did Mr. Macphisto order in Detroit when he made his "phone call of the night"?

Answer: 10,000

Mr. Macphisto made a public telephone call for many nights of the ZooTV tour. He tried to get the White House most commonly, but in Detroit he called a pizza place and ordered 10,000 pizzas. The pizza place could only make 1,000 by the end of the show, but the pizzas were thrown out to the audience.
