    1 - Zoo Station
    2 - The Fly (with Bono's guitar actually audible like the broadcast mix)
    3 - Mysterious Ways (with Bono's falsetto)
    4 - Stay
    5 - Love is Blindness
    6 - Ultraviolet (Japan Exclusive)

    Dumb to include Arms when it was already on Achtung 30 IMO.

    A fan actually edited Achtung 30 so it had no fades so I am hoping some fan will actually do that with this EP with the Fly in proper order of course.
    Ultraviolet from Dublin is probably my favourite live version of this song. It would have made a great addition to this EP.

    I think it’s highly likely that they have mixed the whole show, so i am hoping it gets a full release at some point, would love to hear ultraviolet in the same quality as the other songs on the EP.
  2. I’m sure the full show will be released for AB 40 in seven years
  3. wonder if they notice how good it’s selling the ep

    Said it earlier but I wonder are they testing the water with this release. If they see it's an easy revenue stream....
  5. question is if they do release more stuff will it be a full show and include the songs we already paid for?

    If you get it from cd Japan get it now because they only have 11 left in stock. The US Amazon site had it up for pre order with a sept 6th release day but now that listing is down.
    5 left.
  7. Originally posted by RUMMY:This whole The-Fly-as-a-bonus-track is driving me a bit mental. I’m thinking I might bite the bullet and pick one of these CDs up if I can find it for a good price… however, I gotta have The Fly.

    IF we really think there’s a Part 2 to this release (do any of you believe this?) is there a chance that it would include The Fly - and I’m wasting my time trying to hunt down a Japanese import?


    The Japan bonus tracks over the years have all made their way onto non-Japan releases over the years. They've shown up on singles, or other projects the band have released. I can't think of any of these bonus tracks that remained a Japan exclusive down the road. So if they do dig in and do more Dublin down the road, "The Fly" might end up there.
  8. I can see it showing up on whatever anniversary they choose for AB next. 35th or 40th if not sooner on another project. Hopefully a live best of? The band seem hesitant to put out full shows if not in video form. Even those are often from multiple nights at the same venue. So they could do a best of Dublin 93 live release as an example and not even duplicate anything so far. Or keep the japan track only due to limited release. More likely on a box set though. Who knows, not even U2 at the moment.
  9. Back to this release though, does anyone have the issue of being so used to a specific live version that in their head they "hear" the adlib or different vocal even when listening to a different one? For example in this one, every time MW starts in my head, my brain goes "yeah, it's Mysterious Ways (said in John's accent). Hey John? yeah? Thanks for the car. Thanks hahaha!"

    I don't think I can hear a live version of Arms without singing Naomi baby, bass around the world and like Clayton needs a handycam as another example.
  10. My brain always goes to edge needing the handycam and uteotw kicking in during the opening "scream" (as opposed to after)

    am always singing the outside broadcast version for arms around the world

  12. I'm just playing with this, I have nothing against smokers. Just a healthier version of the cover.
