Great lyrics with great atmosphere (best drums from Achtung Baby, and that is saying a lot), a great build-up (I call it The Dark Streets) and a great solo...

Maybe he is right when they play Acrobat live it only will be a dissapointment. Because they dont know how to do it

Check out the thread on what everyone's favourite song from each album is. Drowning Man shows up a LOT as people's fave from War.

I find Acrobat somewhat clumsy. The "no new ideas in the house and every book has been read" part as well as "in dreams begin responsibilities" always jar me a bit when I hear them. The way they're sung. I dunno. I've never been crazy about the song either.

Haven't listened to them, so I don't know if it's the full song or another snippet.

U2gigs is your best friend

Edit
According to U2gigs Peace on Earth is also played live before, but who cares

Well, I'll be damned. So Cruel has been played?

I don't count Peace On Earth, because whenever it was played wasn't it just a lengthy snippet in Walk On?
