  • Is this for Guggi?

  • EPIC.

  • I'm with DCnishy...I miss the tour and I miss U2. I'm so thankful I was at the Pittsburgh show and got to see this and that it was recorded. I have to admit, every time I see this video, I wish i could meet the person with the sign and smack the crap out of her/him. Inconsiderate ass. I also got to hear Bad the only other time it was played on U.S. soil during the 360 tour - Chicago 1, 2009.

  • I was here too - it was such an amazing moment!!! Pittsburgh memories forever. :) Holy crap I miss the 360 tour and U2!!!!!

  • Great uploads you have! respect from SCOTLAND.

  • what "sign guy" does not realize is that the band in all likelyhood can't even see his sign.. Kinda like the guy at a U2 show I was at screaming, "I LOVE YOU BONO!" until he lost his voice. By the way we were about 50 yards away from the stage.. LOL...

  • Every time I watch this I really appreciate your camera work Tim. Finding work equal to yours from shows you were not at is a challenge. So, once again, thanks. Its special to have this song - and all the video from this summer.

  • nice, very very nice, looks a perfect night out

  • don't be hard on yourself about the sign guy, it's not your fault they let idiots with signs buy tix. ticketmaster's 'convenience charge' equals INconvenience for others!!Anyway , another great vid as always . man you must spend alot on u2 concerts. thanks !

  • miss you already miss you alot.

  • THIS IS AMAZING!!!!:DDDDDD<33333333333­3333

    I LOVE U2!!!!!:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD<3333333­333333333333333

    THANKS FOR UPLOADING!!!!:DDDDDDDD<3333333­33333333333333333

  • great end to a perfect nite. will never forget this magical moment! love u u2!

  • hee hee....Chicago 1 2009 got Bad, Chicago 2 2009 got Your Blue Room and Chicago 2011 got One Tree Hill....best place to see U2 I think....but St Louis in the heat, East lansing in the cool breeze with my 80 year old mom **a fan**, and of course Minneapolis in the pouring rain with the boys ....can't beat any of them...

  • @barn524 Pittsburgh was by far the best concert I've ever been to. They love U2 there. I remember a local telling me how the city went nuts when they were there for the Elevation tour... I want to see them in Chicago though now...

  • @YwkyWy37 I saw them in Seattle 2011, stayed extra long before I moved just to see them. I had to drive 40 hours in 48 hours before I started my new job. And it was worth every bit of it. Then, I flew to Pitt the following month to see them live for the last North American concert of 2011. It was amazing, and to end with this song, my favorite, first time hearing it live, dropped me to my knees in tears. Just beautiful.

  • totally there.

  • this was an awesome point of the show ..I just given up on hearing this song...then they played it & it was intense....TY Bono,TY thomas for sharing this with me....

  • Wow! Your videos are awesome! So happy to be able to relive an unforgettable night through them! Can you post The Fly?

  • What an incredible night for me.  Will always remember the energy felt at Heinz field when this was played. Hate to use the phrase "had to be there to understand " but in this case it truly does fit. Wow just wow

  • Unbelievable how well he hits the "WIDE AWAKE" at 5:33-5:45. Just gorgeous. At 51 years of age, his voice has never sounded better.

  • Oh, this brought tears to my eyes. Saw them in Philly and have seen them in Philly every tour since Unforgettable Fire. How lucky you were to get "Bad" and a few verses of "40." beautiful end to the tour.

  • they r my favorite band never seen them before . been a fan since day one in 1980s. the sound was increditble . awsome vid thanks for posting

  • Awesome video Tim. Are u using a Lumix?

  • I came from Italy just for this show! It was one of the most exciting nights of my life. I love these guys, make me dream, makes me hope, make me crazy. I'll follow them for life

  • My all time fave u2 song...so amazing, we were actually leaving when this song came on, I stopped dead in my tracks and walked back in a trance to watch this, my hubby who likes and respects u2 thru me, but isnt a diehard fan , says we have to go now or we will get caught up in all the people and miss our boat. i turn and look at him and say "Bono is singing Bad if you make me leave i will throw a tantrum like a 2 year old and you will have to carry me out." And yes i won , got to see it all.

  • I was at this show on the outer rail on Adam's side. I was also at the 9/12/09 show in Chicago so I got to hear Bad the other time it was played in the U.S. during the 360 tour. I really wanted to hear Out of Control but this just fine with me.

  • thank you for posting this great video. I was there and broke out into tears when they decided to give us "BAD". Amazing!!

  • Who is he talking about? Who grew up on Cedarwood Road?

  • @ryan06105: Bono grew up on Cedarwood Road. He makes reference to it in "Sometimes You Can't Make It", the version w/ the added verse (non-radio)... Also mentioned heavily, of course, in the biography "U2 on U2"

  • @ryan06105 Andy Rowen, brother to Peter Rowen, boy on the album cover of Boy, and Guggi, Bono's lifelong friend from Cedarwood Rd where he grew up in Dublin. Bono said this night that they wrote it for Andy. Prior, it was only said that it was written about a friend who overdosed on heroin. It was quite a night of revelation and illumination as say the lyrics Bono sang.

    Love these guys, just LOVE them!! They give all their heart and soul to us when they perform...

  • Sweet...looking for a vid to post on FB that captured the event!

  • I was there, in the very back row!

  • I was there in the innercircle stage. and when they played "Bad" everyone freaked. it was awesome! i love U2!!

  • Bad, is my all time favorite U2 song, I have seen three shows of this 360 tour, but they did not play this at any of them :-( Such an amazing song! Wish I was at this show! Oh well, there is always next tour. I guess when you have such an extensive collection of awesome songs, there is no way to play them all :-)

  • bono can still sing with soul

  • I'm jealous...they obviously love Pittsburgh more than California =*/

  • @AltRockAddict Nah they love California very much. They began the "Achtung Baby" opening in Anaheim

  • i dont like u

  • when i saw them play this at live aid in '85, i was hooked........ i was so lucky to be there to hear it - my favorite song ever, my 1st time seeing them... thanks for posting , i was too far away for my videos to come out.

  • Thank you for posting such amazing videos. This was the highlight for me!! Thanks for sharing.

  • unbelievable concert. My third show, and love it the best. WOW. The best show and band ever.

  • Thank you for posting this! This is just amazing! My husband and I were there, our 5th show this tour. First time they played "Bad".

  • awesome!!! I hate people w/ signs.

  • I saw them for the first time in Hawaii 2006, last show. I figured, the last show is probably THE one to go to. Saw them in Seattle too this year. Glad I went with my gut and flew to Pitt. BAD is my favorite song. I can die now peacefully having heard this in person. I never understood how people get all emotional and cry over artists and music. Then I saw them in concert. And I understood. Cried that night too. And the way they transformed their own music that night was truly epic!!

  • thanks for the great video.....what an awesome tour and awesome band!

  • love your videos regardless of "sign guy" :)

  • it appeared as though Larry may have mentioned it to Bono right at the end about the sign-

  • Excellent video! You were probably right near me. I was on the back rail, right in front of the Edge. Having heard "Bad" was on the East Rutherford setlist, my brothers and I were really hoping they would play it on this special night in Pittsburgh. Absolutely amazing. I hadn't seen it performed live since The Joshua Tree tour in Pittsburgh. What a fantastic way to end a brilliant show.

  • I was there and saw that sign guy and felt sorry for the people behind him lol

  • 3:28 sounds like someone else wasn't happy with the sign either.

  • Thanks for this video. I was there Tuesday night, but the view was not nearly as good! Hope you have more like this. Great way to remember that night!

  • Amazing way to end the tour. We saw them in Chicago July 5, and prayed they would play "Bad". You were blessed with one of the truly amazing U2 classics. Great video, thanks for sharing !

  • Thanks for posting this. My firend from Toronto wanted to make the show but she's nine months pregnant and I wanted to be able to share part of the show.

  • Really great video - thanks for posting. Sign dude (or dudette as suggested below) clearly didn't know he/she was in the way, but it's never "bad" to put a sign down during the music....

  • @fredbates100 The issue is...I'll bet that sign was held up the entire show. If the band hadn't seen it by then, there wasn't much point in holding it up during Bad.

  • Thumbs up Bono!

    

  • Sharing! Wow! great video - Thanks for posting this!

  • 8 shows this summer but this was the most special 10 minutes of the entire journey for me - last song, last show. Thanks for all your video Tim, but especially for this one!

  • Keep them coming, Fabulous Show!!! Thanks!

  • ...love this.....

  • this tour needs to end already

  • @dhide14 It does in two days,don't worry!

  • The "fucktard" "guy" with the sign might have been me. And, I'm a female. I am really sorry if this was the case. I had noticed that when folks with signs in front of me held them up, I could still see between the top of their head and the bottom of their signs, so just assumed this was the case behind me. You could have just said something rather than call me a "fucktard." Again, I apologize. Some U2 fans can be so nasty. Are you the guy who kept bashing me in the spine w/ his lens?

  • OUTSTANDING!!!

    

  • Amazing! PGH got one hell of a treat last night. Was hoping they would play this or '40' as the US Finale. You got both! GREAT video. thanks for sharing

  • Frontman Bono closed the show by playing fan favourite Bad for Andy Rowen - his childhood neighbour in Dublin, Ireland, and for whom he originally wrote the song. Rowen surprised the singer before the show when he turned up backstage with his actor pal Declan Joyce.

    Joyce tells "We were very grateful to Bono for the night." At the end of their set,

  • Thanks for posting this! I was so hoping they would play this in St. Louis, but no. Great concert anyway!

  • i was actually goin to tweet during one of the encore breaks if they played "bad" i would die happy...didnt have to XD

  • @gregman05 I couldn't tweet, post pics, FB or even text at the Philly show. I think the "claw" sucked up my cell service...lol Ironically my iPhone4 went from 3G to nothing to "E" (Edge network).

  • Great

    

  • Thanks for posting this. It was a special night and it's nice to see this here.

  • OMG THANK YOU for taking this video and posting it!!! I was there in the pit and just about died when they started playing this - it's so great to be able to go back and watch it again. And again. And again. And again. I would so give you a huge hug right now. This was the final song of the final show of the U.S. tour, and it shows exactly why U2 is the biggest most awesome rock band in the world.

  • Great video! Was hoping they'd play it at Foxboro in '09 or NY/NJ last week, but glad I'm able to experience it here. Superb song, excellent job on recording it. Thumbs up.

  • Amazing !! Thank you !!

    So happy I was there too :o)

  • Thanks for posting this, truly a night not to forget!

  • Thanks for sharing! What an end to the night!

  • I've got tears in my eyes watching this. What an amazing night and such a great ending to the greatest show on earth. Was a blessing to be there.

  • As soon as they went into the 'huddle' at the start you could tell from the crowd's reaction that something special was about to happen! Little did they know what was about to hit them! Simply amazing song.

  • Was at the concert and it was great!!! Great video, well done.

  • This is by far THE best-quality video I've seen from the show yet, especially from down at catwalk level. I think I may have been standing not far behind you when you filmed this.

  • Tears in my eyes thanks U2 and Eltimbomofo :-)

  • Did you record the whole concert?

  • My wife and I was at the show lastnight. The show was amazing!!! It was such a surreal moment for me. Thanks for posting this.

  • Why is Bono starting to look like a cross between Bill Maher and Richard Simmons?

  • Epic Song. Great show. Thanks for sharing your video. It's awesome.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. This was a fantastic ending to a amazing show.

  • @mynameisreed1995, Edge usually plays Bass, Adam guitar on 40

  • sign guys have to ruin everything

  • Amazing!!!!!! Wish I could of been there. Almost made it from St.Louis. Thanks Tim!!!

  • so awesome! my friend and i were right near where you were...same view ....sign got in my way too LOL! Great video....last night was nothing short of magical. I've been a huge U2 fan since '85 and that was the first time I ever saw BAD performed live. Incredible! thanks for posting!

  • they soundchecked all of 40 at the Baltimore concert and my buddy in security said they even switched instruments

  • Did you go thank the fucktard with the sign afterwards?

  • beautiful...beautiful ....BAD! What a way to end the tour .. Amazing .... at Meadow lands Stadium we were robbed .... they were supposed to do BAD and 40...don't know what happened .....saw the set list ... you lucky..lucky people!!! U2 are THE GREATEST BAND EVER!!!!!!

  • Great concert, i was there, i'm 16, it was amazing. Too bad they didn't play my favorite song New Years Day.

  • What I don't understand is why don't they play Bad many more times than they actually do?

    It's one of their greatest ever songs! This is great!

  • This song is why I went to the concert and I missed it. My wife lost her father to cancer on July 4th and she became very emotional so we had to go. Thank you so much for posting this and allowing us to enjoy the best song U2 has ever recorded.

  • its kind of cool when you get 5 minutes into this clip and realize it is barely 1/2 over...thanks tim
