Notes

During the performance of "The Electric Co.", Bono included a 27-second snippet of Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns". Upon release, U2 failed to get permission and pay the appropriate licensing and royalty fees. When Sondheim objected, U2 agreed to pay a $50,000 penalty for the unauthorized use and to press all future releases with a new version that did not include the snippet.
This is the edited version of "The Electric Co." running at 4:51.
