Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
Are there any album songs you can think of that the band has never played live?

Actually at the 9-9-92 Detroit show Bono sang the entire song playing his guitar acoustically. So IMO that counts.
He also did the entire first verse and chorus at the 8-22-92 Foxboro show and the 9-15-92 Chicago show. So that is more than a snippet as well IMO.

Eek! Really? Ah, so the U2 Encyclopedia is wrong. As far as I can remember, the book mentioned that So Cruel is the only track off AB that's never been played live.
Oh, what I'd do to hear it live with the strings and all.

Wow, I havent read this book but it is completely wrong. First off with So Cruel and secondly, Acrobat has never been played live in concert. Acrobat was rehearsed only.
They may not have known about the Detroit performance all the way through as a bootleg of the entire show has never surfaced. I was there, and I can confirm he sang So Cruel all the way through.

Oops, wrong info, I gave. The encyclopedia actually claims that it's Acrobat that's never been played live, not So Cruel. Just the same though, they're wrong. I unearthed my bootlegs last night and found the live version of Acrobat.
