I'm not sure if this version I found on Youtube is different from the widely circulated live rehearsal versions that most people are familiar with. According to the Youtube notes, this is from the Songs of Innocence sessions. Not sure if that's accurate though.

It's from one of the 15 times it was performed during 360 tour:

Fair enough. But I'd just like to point out that the Mercy demo popped up I think in 2004. Last I checked it is now 2024. But sure, keep the dream alive dude.

It's been both performed and officially released in that timespan so I wouldn't say it's THAT outlandish of a wish lol

what they said

"Countless shows U2 have walked on to People Have The Power because it reminds us that the real action of the show lies in the hearts and minds of the people who attend it and it’s not the apparatus, however thoughtfully contrived and constructed. The lights, camera, action is the way we draw nearer, but the intimacy is always about meeting people where they are, and reminding us all that we have the power, people have the power." - Bono in a letter to Patti Smith, 2020

did you know

U2 was their own opening act a few times under the name of "The Dalton Brothers", they were dressed like a country band an played songs like "Lucille" and "Lost Highway".
