Major disappointment after 23 years of waiting.

I agree, but a mediocre performance will always be better than no performance at all in my opinion. Mercy is a good example as pointed out by Bart, but also Your Blue Room, Electrical Storm and many other rarities that the band finally tried out live. Some worked, some didn't, but at least they tried. And for God's sake, they KNOW their fans are waiting for Acrobat... It would be just a gesture. You want us to play it? There we go, there you got it. We might fuck it up but hey, at least we tried right?

[Audience member] Are we ever gonna hear Acrobat played live? [big audience applause]
[Edge]: You know we've had a few requests for Acrobat recently so we have to take that one out and learn how to play it. I remember recording that one and it actually came together pretty quickly, so maybe...
