  2. That looks like a familiar question!
  4. All of them!!!! They have to pay a good enough tribute to their best album/era if they want us to spend our bucks on the msot special edition!
  5. 'Take you Down'. It's the best of them. (Looks like 'The Fly', 'Ultraviolet' and 'Lady with Spinning Head')
  6. Well, I think there should also be a question about what video material should be included as a bonus DVD.
    A remastered 1992 gig would be more than welcome (Washington!!! Washington!!!)
  7. Take You Down and "finished" She's Gonna Blow Your House Down
  8. All of them...
    ... Please
    Baby.
    Don't bite your lip. ! xxx
  9. All of them!

    Please baby don't bite your lip!
  10. What are the Salome Outtakes?
  11. All of the outtakes


  12. There's a good overview and tracklisting: here.

    In December 1990, U2 had entered the recording studio in Berlin to begin writing songs for what would become Achtung Baby. The band recorded their jam sessions and sent the results to producer Brian Eno for feedback. One set of DAT working tapes was stolen and widely bootlegged around April 1991. This three-CD set is the most comprehensive collection of the band's sessions and is considered the holy grail of unofficial U2 material. (A word of caution: these are not even demos, much less rough mixes of the final album.) The Achtung Baby Sessions are valuable because they reflect U2's recording process on one of the 1990s' most important albums. This set is not U2 unplugged; most moderate fans would find the sessions maddening. But hardcore fans will gain a new appreciation for the band's creativity. These sessions represent no more than four months of the band's reinvention, once described as "The sound of four men chopping down The Joshua Tree."
