"The Hershey Tapes"
This is a very interesting performance. While the sound is pretty bad, there is a lot of improvisation from U2. The most noteworthy tracks on this disc are "Acrobat" and "So Cruel". This might even be the only live versions of "Acrobat" on it, as U2 never performed it in concert, only at the Hershey soundchecks. It is worth a listen. U2 tries everything from reggae to country.
