I'd just about kill for that. What a fucking incredible performance of Hawkmoon.

I also love the imagery they mixed in with that Hawkmoon performance.

The dolphins?
That performance of that song is so incredible. Edge's slide guitar.
The dolphins.
And the Eagle. Especially when they cut to it just as Edge's wonderful solo kicks in.
I would love to hear a U2 studio version of Boy Falls from the Sky. The one live performance of that song was amazing, and the Reeve Carney studio version is good. The song seems like proof that, in the age of Glastonbury and Stand Up Comedy, U2 can still write good rockers.

I loved the one and only live version they did of that song, but yes, hearing the studio version would surely be interesting.

This, and the Moroccan-flavored early versions of some of those NLoTH songs to go along with it. Every Breaking Wave is the one of those 360 Tour debuts that has the most promise.

The unreleased Sun Studios tracks from the R&H era(She's A Mystery To Me, full band version of Can't Help Falling In Love[different from the version released in the 90s], Bottle Rocket).
The Zooropa sessions as mentioned before - Wanderer w/Bono vocals(one of the crown jewels of unreleased U2 imo), and the Zooropa versions of If God Will Send His Angels, If You Wear That Velvet Dress, and Wake Up Dead Man.
I read once that Bono said there was a version of The Playboy Mansion during the Pop sessions that had a completely different set of lyrics that weren't as dated as the ones that were used. I'd like to hear that if it exists. Also, I remember reading somewhere when the Best Of 1990-2000 came out that The Playboy Mansion had been re-recorded(with Numb, Discotheque, and Starting At The Sun), but not included on the release. I'd like to hear that as well, as it might include the aforementioned different lyrics.
The early version of Original Of The Species that was heard during a 60 Minutes interview with Bono well before HTDAAB was released.
The entirety of the 2003 Chris Thomas HTDAAB(including Mercy).
The earlier NLOTH tracks.
The SOA tracks.

Another request: the studio recording of the beach clip version of Breathe. It had Bono singing "breathe" in falsetto, instead of having Edge harmonize along. The falsetto sounds better to my ears than the harmony, but it's hard to say, because the beach makes every song 1000000x better.

The Return Of The Fly is allegedly a song that they worked on for Pop. Since The Fly is my favorite song of all time, I'd definetly wanna hear that song.
Btw, The Return Of The Fly would be an amazing album title for the new album. I would literally sh** my pants.

I remember hearing snippets of demos from the JT sessions, real brooding stuff. 30 sec clips someone put out there before a cease and desist order had them marked and removed. Would be cool to hear that. Also the miss Sarajevo version with Bono on opera vox.

Wait, this actually happened?
That would've been something phenomenal.
Yes. Apparently the song Kittens or Moaner came from these sessions. Which came from Underworld remixing Mofo... worlds colliding...
