From Pimm Jal de La Parra:
Larry and Bono move over to the stage where Adam and Edge are waiting. Bono announces a song called Womanfish, while Larry bangs out a thundering, high-paced drum beat and Edge poduced a cutting guitar riff. According to Bono, the song is about "a mermaid I met once in America”- It has a chorus song in a high-pitched voice: "Love is all you need, love is all..". It remains the only occasion this track has been played.
The next song is a rough sketch of a track that will end up on the album. Introduced as I Tripped Through Your Wires, it’s a bluesy number with Bono playing harmonica. It is played much slower than the eventual album version and has different lyrics. "In this town, begin the rebuilding" sings Bono, referring to the many ruins of rundown houses in Dublin which are not being cleared away. A shabby version of Knocking On Heaven's Door ends the performance. Two guys from the audience are invited to take over Bono’s and Edges parts The guest guitarist plays well but the singer just repeats the song's title over and over again.
