Subscriber Grande 3:16 Posted May 13, 2016 Subscriber Share Posted May 13, 2016 Am probably in the minority but of all U2's back catalogue that I haven't heard live 'Acrobat' isn't even in the top 20!Completely agree. I can think of plenty of songs they haven't played in decades that I'd pick first. I don't get the whole "they've never played it live so they must do it" thing for Acrobat. They haven't played Grace live either, if I was at a show and they busted that out I'd want a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber yardie Posted May 20, 2016 Subscriber Share Posted May 20, 2016 M'eh, not fussed. It was ok, but have never understood the gravitas towards the song. U2 have better songs that they could resurrect. Buy hey..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Grande 3:16 Posted May 22, 2016 Subscriber Share Posted May 22, 2016 They should have busted out God Part II this tour. "Glorify the past when the future dries up" would have been really fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Grande 3:16 Posted May 25, 2016 Subscriber Share Posted May 25, 2016 Exit, Mofo, God Part II, Hawkmoon, Another Time Another Place, 4th of July, Numb, Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car. All songs I'd pick before Acrobat. The unreleased rock version of Mofo would trump an acoustic Acrobat any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber yardie Posted May 26, 2016 Subscriber Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yes. Always love a bit of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Moderator mich40 Posted May 27, 2016 Community Moderator Share Posted May 27, 2016 If I heard that live, I would die of happiness, right then, right there. I know many people know the story of me working at a movie theater when Rattle and Hum came out. We would blast the cd through the sound system before hours and there is nothing more amazing than hearing Hawkmoon in surround sound. The drums....oh the drums. Yes, the room would spin around. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
