This is my favourite soundcheck recording even though it is soundwise not the best. The sound is distant and somewhat flat. Apparently it was recorded from quite a distance to the speakers. BUT: This will be the only recording of "Acrobat" being played live. Apparently it was meant as an opener for the show (a Bono & guitar solo thing before Zoo Station kicks in). Also a real rarity is the acoustic country versionm of "The Fly" which was also never performed. So, forget about perfect quality for this one and just enjoy U2 horsing around.
