Great Post

If only this could happen

I think it's mandatory that once a month a thread about Acrobat live must be opened... Is it in the sign up agreement?

Acrobat for most is at the apex of the unplayed 'holy trinity'

Acrobat
Heartland
Red hill Mining Town

When they said they ahd rehearsed songs never played before 99.99% of interferencers would have prayed for one of these songs

Hasn't Red Hill been performed?

Indeed.

It has been said that sometime in the new millenium, Bono will step forward, hoisting a cherry-red Les Paul above his head. The hoisted Les Paul will reflect the light of the seen full moon. He shall turn to the largest speaker on stage, produce deafening feedback... Edge will emerge from the shadows and 3 simple notes... the intro to Acrobat.

Nope, it was rehearsed for the first JT gigs, but Bono couldn't reach the high notes so they dropped it and I still haven't found was rehearsed and later released as a single instead.

I can just see Bono rolling his eyes...

It was Streets that was released as a single in its stead, not Still Haven't Found. Wisest decision ever, perhaps?

I personally find RHMT pretty dull... Heartland is okay, but nothing that special to me. And I do like Acrobat, but it's probably not in the top half of AB for me (although I love all of AB).

Breathe and Acrobat are played in 6/8ths, but I feel U2 thinks Breathe is more dynamic when played live. I don't see them rehearsing Acrobat anytime soon. But, and a big but, I would love for them to play both songs back to back to have a mini 6/8th set, but that could only happen if Breathe was substituted with UC in the setlist.

Are you suggesting Streets wouldn't have had the same impact had it been released at a different time?

I adore Heartland, one of their best... makes me want to sit on a hill in Southern American (US) and watch traffic...

And I do like Acrobat, but it's probably not in the top half of AB for me (although I love all of AB).

You love all of AB
Therefore, you love Acrobat
Not in the top half of AB
That's the equivalent of lower-upper class...

I love Acrobat
When I first heard AB, wasn't a fave... now it's up there top 3... with UV and SC

 

[allbecauseofu2]

i want them to open with elvis ate america into some days. lol..

 

[edge-evans]

Acrobat is The Grail....

I could see Edge belching out that screaming solo. Found this on Youtube and looked up the following "U2 Acrobat". Go to :
[YouTube - 06 kane - acrobat u2 WqBc"][/URL]
this is horribly sang but fairly well played live cover of Acrobat I found by accident. Sounds like Creed and the vocals are not U2-ish but they play U2 pretty well.

Singing is terrible!!!

The drummer is pissing me off too, he is just playing fills, there is no constant rythm. Thatnks for posting, but i would say, overall, FAIL

I try to contain my blind hope that this will be played, in contrast with my loving embrace for the surprise debut of ES, it just doesn't seem likely to ever happen. We're loving the resurfacing of older lesser known songs on the last few tours, but we're not talking about stuff that was never played, or at the very least never a single. Plus Acrobat has been around more than twice as long as ES and never been played.

Acrobat is my single favorite song ever, not just U2 song, so it would blow my mind beyond belief if it was ever pulled out, but I just don't see it happening.

And no, I don't think the interference servers could handle the wave of smilies (or enthusiasm) that would flood here if that ever did occur.

 

[AchtungTiger]

this is the best acrobat cover i could find

YouTube - U2 Tribute Band 'Elevation' Perform U2's ACROBAT

wish the sound was abit better though

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

ACROBAT premiere tonight? Perhaps...

I've heard that U2 have been working on Acrobat. Could be another great premiere of another great song?

Time will tell... Oh to be in Milan tonight! (Wishful thinking! Damn!)

[partygirl43]

If we all hold our collective breath, we'll be as blue as Interferences background.


I really hope...TEAM ACROBAT!!!

 

[djerdap]

Hoax. Admittedly an elaborate one, but still a hoax.
