"Acrobat" is the eleventh track from U2's 1991 album, Achtung Baby. Although a fan favorite, it is the only song from the album that was never played live.[1] It can, however, be heard on recordings of the Zoo TV: Outside Broadcast Tour rehearsals in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It features an unusual (for U2) 12/8 time signature and has The Edge playing a rapid, heavily distorted tremolo. Acrobat deals with the themes of helplessness and broken relationships, and can be seen as the culmination of a maritial lament first told in Ultraviolet (Light My Way).[citation needed]
[edit] Covers
A live cover was performed by Kane at Paridiso, Amsterdam on September 21st, 2000, and later included on their CD/DVD tribute to U2, With or Without You.[2]
