Full albums(or close to) live #1: Achtung Baby

[UnforgettableLemon]

OK, I'm gonna make live CDs of every U2 album, in sequential order. If a song wasn't played live, I'll fill it in with a b-side from that era that was played live. What do you think the definitive live versions of each song on Achtung Baby are? Aside from the soundcheck version of Acrobat, which is my only choice there. Versions from any tour are open of course, I'll surely use an Elevation version of the Fly, the question is which one.

 

[Swan269]

Zoo Station-Sydney Aus
Even Better-Sydney Aus
One-The Orchestra version sung in that Pavorotti benefit concert
Until the End-Mexico City (PopMart)
Whose Gonna Ride-the opener from Miami (Zoo TV)
So cruel-I think there is only one...Bono acoustic
The Fly-Boston (Elevation tour)
Mysterious Ways-Mexico City
Arms Around the World-Sydney Aus
UltraViolet-the Miami Opener
Acrobat-you covered this
Love is Blindness-the live version from Giants Stadium....on the "Stay" single.

Good luck!

I read on U2tours that it was played a whopping three times... but do any mp3s exist?

 

[Swan269]

the only version I have is on tape that a buddie of mine got for me when he went to Ireland but try u2station. They might have it.

I got one from Mike P's ftp

Anybody know where I can find Boston mp3s?

I found the So Cruel live on audiogalaxy. Look for it there!

I'd go with the Dancing ZooTV (Stockholm 6-11-92) versions of Ultraviolet and especially Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World. I agree with the Yankee Stadium 8-92 version of Blindness. I like the Hartford version of the Fly best (6-3-01) on this tour, elsewhere Syndey or Mexico City should suffice.

Mysterious Ways - Irving Plaza/Boston Elevation/ZooTV Dublin

 

[soul service]

Mysterious Ways from Irving Plaza is definitely one of the best! I'd surely take the version they played in Montreal, on October 12th, if only it existed...

Until the end of the world, from the Brit Awards, anyone???

 

[SkeeK]

soul service... good call on the Brit Awards thing!

Brit awards is a good call, but Washington 92 is better for UTEOTW.
