If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is. They’ve done Joshua Tree, a rehashing of the infamous Live at Red Rocks gig and even performed as The Dalton Brothers.

They occasionally do shows dedicated to one album or U2 era. Zoo Station has also been known to do a bit of time traveling. Maybe it’s the beanie… Either way, it’s clear that all four members of Zoo Station have spent many hours perfecting their delivery of these songs that we all love, and they obviously do too. Any fan of music can tell a U2 song by the sound of The Edge’s guitar and The Sledge has done his homework…if you close your eyes, you can barely tell the difference between the two. Bono would be jealous of Bonalmost’s ability to remember the words! Adamesque carries Adam’s cool demeanor on stage (and also delivers lead vocals on tunes like “Party Girl”) and Barely Larry’s driving drums are in tune with Larry himself. Oh, and did I mention they were voted Best Cover Band by SF Weekly in 20? Because that’s kinda important.īonalmost prowls the stage with the swagger of a young Bono Vox, flirting with the ladies and climbing onto chairs, never missing a word. With sets comprising of b-sides like “Luminous Times” or “Spanish Eyes” through to the hits “Pride” or “Vertigo”, really showcase the band’s ability to deliver a wide range of different sounds in one night with no elaborate set changes.

Many of us were not old enough or never got the chance to witness songs like “Rejoice” or “Surrender” live, but through Zoo Station, you can. I’m sure you can figure out what instruments they play by the names…but each member of the group brings a unique experience that most U2 fans never got to witness beloved U2 rarities, played in an intimate setting. Zoo Station was formed in 2001 in the San Francisco Bay Area and is made up of Adamesque, Barely Larry, Bonalmost and The Sledge. “They aren’t playing ‘Acrobat’ or ‘Lady With the Spinning Head’! WHY THE HELL NOT?!?! It would fit perfectly into the set!” While I can sympathize with this feeling, I also have found a solution. With the 360 tour well underway, many U2 fans are finding themselves discontent with the set list.
