Red Hill and Heartland are two more he can't sing live .There are reasons these songs are not played live.

Think The Electric Co.? Yeah, that rocked the house down and everyone got into it, it was the highlight of the night, just like I expect they would with Acrobat.
I'm sick of these insinuations made about casual fans. I'm not targeting this rant specifically at you, as plenty of people here have said what you posted time and time again. Casual fans don't just listen to WOWY and One and Vertigo, and I wish people here would stop acting like they'd stand around going "what is this shit? Where's Beautiful Day?" I know plenty of casual fans who've been to U2 gigs, some of whom I've taken myself, and some of their favourite songs at these gigs have been An Cat Dubh, Party Girl, One Tree Hill, Kite, and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (which has about Acrobat's status in the general consciousness, really). I know someone who wouldn't know Boy from HTDAAB who was surprised U2 didn't play Silver And Gold! So let's just stop with the argument that "if U2 played Acrobat, a minority of the crowd would be loving it and most of the rest would be lifeless".
