Don't worry, you're not the only one wondering this! It is probably the biggest source of confusion to me. Every U2 single ever has been played live - except for Electrical Storm. It was an incredibly safe bet that it would be played on the Vertigo Tour. I didn't even entertain the possibility that it wouldn't be played. After all, they did its non-single fellow bonus track, THTBA, at promo gigs. And then it didn't show up!
They probably rehearsed it. Some people said they heard it at the rehearsals in Brussels before the second leg of Vertigo and I'm willing to believe those reports, but U2.com issued a denial, claiming it was a taped version on the PA. This was really weird because there are plenty of false "U2 rehearsed this song on that date!" rumours out there, so I don't know why they went to the effort just to quash that one in particular. And knowing U2.com's astonishing incompetence, they probably got it all arse-backwards and had been told to report that it was rehearsed or something ...
