Any evidence they weren’t happy with its zoo tv performances? I do prefer the E&I (and Apollo) performances but I think the zoo tv versions were still great, Bono had some better vocal moments on zoo tv but the band sound much better in 2018 for me.

I recall seeing it referred to in interviews. Here’s a quote I found online (lyricshall) - The band also has claimed they find the song difficult to perform in concert. Bassist Adam Clayton said, "It's a great torch song, with melody and emotion, but I don't think we ever captured it again and we have never really been able to play the song live." But mainly the evidence is there in the fact it didn’t really survive in its full band incarnation when the Outside Broadcast leg gathered momentum. There are a few ropey acoustic versions, the best I could find on this site is from LA, 30/10/92.

Safe to assume we can rule out the Dublin version of Tryin to Throw your Arms. Great and all as the version is, surely Adam won’t need reminding of a certain engagement that failed to make it up the aisle.

Concidering U2 have most concerts taped, why would u want well known soundboards? Maybe it’s easy for them to make the cd from tracks already released.
They want tracks from 3 decades, so
UTEOTW from ie
Wild horses ei
Acrobat
So Cruel maybe that’s the special one?
From the 00’s maybe mysterious ways?
I don’t prefer the fast played real thing. Like the original live one for the 90’s and suits better with zoostation. One should be from zootv. And Bono does do the extra guitar in the fly wich sounds great (in the Dublin ‘bootleg’) or i should check the vertigo version?

I think they played it an awful lot of times on zoo tv for it to be considered a song that didn’t work live. You don’t try it out 62 times in front of an audience before realising that. They didn’t look or sound like a band struggling their way through the song at Stockholm anyway.

Mysterious ways has to be a version with the solo and as with all the tracks not previously released.
