Acrobat (close) live?!

[dal975]

Was listening to U2 OutLoud Radio today for 1st time in awhile. In rotation is a powerful rough studio cut/rehearsal/dare I say live version of "Acrobat" with altered lyrics. "Don't let the bastards grind you down" was changed to "Don't let the [something unintelligible' grind you down" etc. etc. The verses' lyrics were radically different.

Any clue what this was? Full band, electric, probably 3:50-5:00 minutes. The sound quality was at least very good audience (hard to tell while at work). **It was not the Hershey rehearsal**.

It was the demo version from the Salome outtakes (stolen Berlin tapes). Good stuff.

Could also be the "baby" version from the AB remaster.

He sang, "Don't let the B-side grind you down."
