So Cruel was fully performed twice or thrice in the Outside B. leg, it's just that there's no known recording of those

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

Correct.

I'll have to sample one of these So Cruel performances. Expecting some Bono vocals for a verse or 2 backed up by a chord or 2 by Edge.

Never played in full form.

It's just that U2gigs count them as full performances just in the moment that The Edge, Larry and/or Adam joins Bono. Simple as that. For example, the Stand By Me snippet into I Still Havent Found last year in Milano is counted as a full performance.

But those "performances" of Peace On Earth were just lenghty snippets of the song with ocassional Edge participation, or some slight drumming. Not full versions for sure. The Kansas one is the most famous take a listen to it and tell me if it's a ful performance.

Ha so I was right , It doesnt happen often so Ill enjoy it . Great song by the way . My favourite although if I had to chose between that and acrobat it'll be acrobat by a mile . So Cruel would probably be shite fully live .

Can we class Hershey as a full version of So Cruel . They played it all although it was to an empty stadium ??????

Those are all just lengthy snippets with Kansas being the longest. Snippet and actual song performance is a bit subjective.
