A while back I found a version of Electrical Storm on an old hard drive but never could figure out what mix it was, and I never have found it online either. Here you go, for those interested. I am 100% sure it's unofficial but it sounds studio-ish.

I guess this was the demo that was played just the once on BBC Radio during an interview with Bono before the actual release.

Maybe but I think that had a different vocal take

It was a mix Bono gave Jo W. but told her not to play it on air. It was a work in progress. She played it anyway

Interesting, I didn't know that. I've never seen it anywhere else

This version features that guitar part that everyone seemed to hate on 360.

I remember this being played on radio 1 probably almost 13 years ago to the day. I love this rawer version

The guitar part sounds a bit different live to me, as though Edge goes a bit lower when he should go higher, or thats what it sounds like to me

just checked and he does. He plays the riff in the same key then drops lower, when on the radio 1 mix he goes into a higher key. Thats why i thought it sounded a bit off when i first heard the live version. I'm not a guitar expert so if anyone knows what i'm on about feel free to enlighten

What a great song. Even as an unpolished demo.
