U2 at the Rock 'N Roll Hall Of Fame
|
|
|
|
Museum Lobby
|
The first thing that strikes you when you enter the Hall Of Fame is the 4 Trabants suspended above you!, there's the Mirrored trabby that BP Fallon used to DJ from on the ZOO TV Tour, a leopard skin covered trabby , a striking orange one with lights sticking out from all points, and the trabby covered with newsprint.
Behind the Trabants is the ZOO TV sign, used for the Outside Broadcast Tour of the U.S. in 1992.
