// U2 Zoo TV DVD easter eggs!
Achtung ya'll! It turns out that there are 3 very nice easter eggs (hidden videos) on the bonus disc of the 'U2 Zoo TV live from Sydney' DVD:
- Egg #1: A four minute time lapse sequence which shows the stage being built
- Egg #2: Emergency destruct sequence, a short 2 minute video.
- Egg #3: Interference documentary, 25 minutes. This is all the "Interference" from the 1992 Achtung Baby VHS video.
But how to access these easter eggs?
Note that these easter eggs are all on the bonus disc which comes with the 'Deluxe Edition'! There are no easter eggs on the concert DVD!
// The easy way
If your DVD player allows you to navigate the DVD chapters then simply play chapter 4 for the time lapse video, chapter 8 for the emergency destruct sequence and chapter 9 for the interference documentary.
// The hard way
If that won't work then there's also an alternative way to access the easter eggs. It's actually not that hard, it's just a bit difficult to explain... You will need a remote with up/down/left/right arrows and you need to be able to enter numbers.
