Ah! Then the Zoo TV condoms I held in my hand in early 1992 after U2 
played their Zoo TV date in Charolotte, North Carolina were from *the 
future*, which means that even if Duran Duran invented the "condom at a 
show" idea, U2 invented the "travel in time to a future tour to get 
condoms" concept. Of course, condoms were also availabe at Woodstock II, 
also in 1994, so the double D would have to share a title with the 
prmoter sof Woodstock II...

Here is a photo of condoms from the third leg of the Zoo TV tour 
(shortly after Zoorpoa was released in 1993 - the tour concluded in 1993 
in Sydney, Australia):

out for copious popup ads).

Here is an interview shortly before the POP tour, when Larry is asked 
"Will U2 sell condoms again"? (scroll down about 1/3).

Here is an article about a person who visited the Rock and Roll Hall of 
Fame and saw an Achtung Baby condom.
