Jam Session (5:39) 2-12-81

I have this mp3. It's a poor sound quality guitar/bass/drums recording of U2 doing some improv playing, probably at a soundcheck. Anyone know anything else about it?

Yes, there is a recording - video as well as audio - in circulation of the full 12 February 1981 soundcheck in The Hague.

There's a soundcheck/rehearsal track (from the Zoo TV-era I think?) that really blows me away. Edge goes crazy with the whammy-pedal for the intro and then the rhythm section comes in. I absolutely love it and I wonder why it never got recorded properly.
Has anyone else heard it?
