U2 London 2009-08-15 Bad

[silkensky]

Great performance! I know its a small detail but I like how at the end here the background synth keeps playing, but MINUS the famous xylophone loop...it makes a difference at the outro for me, and is kinda reminiscent of ZooTV/Popmart.

[jajalh93]

was there , had tears in my eyes . truly amazing

[85spikkinikki]

I was there...me and my friends,the big family of wembley and last but not least..U2!!! JUST WONDERFUL

[blueskyzg]

Masterpiece.

[SuperHello71]

I wish my son were there with me, as father and son, enjoying this amazing show... I have travelled all over the world..still travelling with U2 in my Ipod..this sound is timeless and full of real memories...thx for posting this..lots of love

[jerem67rcs]

i'm 21, french, and i growed with the sound of U2 and I would my son know all theses songs later ... so as you say ... lots of love

[dipuntoelle]

...e....milano tremavaaaaaaaa!!!!

[john10uk]

An absolute Masterpiece. I LOVE this song. I have seen U2 18 times and this was by far the BEST Gig I have ever seen them play!!!!!

[geraldman24]

Toronto tomorrow. Please play this

[youngat54]

I hope they play it in Toronto on Sept. 17th too! :D

[tanosullivan]

gee its lost its newness and sounds boring. think i'll check out the earlier version.

[caoimhin1111]

Best song ever written. Ever. FUCKING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tomdawg89]

I would kill to see these boys live. I'm praying for an Ottawa date next year.

[Vlaco84]

What an amazing performance this is. I went to the second Amsterdam show. They're the greatest of all time.

[jimmymacd1888]

Larrys on fire here

[ArtMonkforHallofFame]

I've heard live performances of this song hundreds of times. I have probably 100 bootlegs of this song on various tours. I've seen them play it live many times. and EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear it i get goosebumps. amazing song.

[chris210767]

what a night... what an amazing song... thank you london...still on a high after that gig.... great footage too :-) cheers .

[marksimo67]

I was also there and it sounded even better from where i was. Even after seeing U2 on every tour since '85 the quality of performance never fails, a magical song on a magical night!

[saissiun]

Thank's...

[youngat54]

Thanks! One of my fave U2 songs. :D

[DolphinPM]

Awsome. I was also there. One of My fav U2 music ever. I also made a video (not yet on youtube).

[tmlfan1977]

I get goosebumps every time I hear this time........and THIS time was no exception. Thanks so much for sharing!

[fatallerror]

one of the best performance of bad

[7Mofo]

5:15 bono drops his pick, and takes a new one

he sang the previous part so well that...

[osu612]

Wow!

[cynthiasun]

how long to sing this song!!

[kwikle]

Having loved this song from the first moment I heard it, I've heard almost every live variation of this tune the band has made. This is probably the most unabashed U2 tune there is, this is impossible to duplicate, and in some ways to refute. It is their best live song. As it was never a hit or a single, it's purely for fans. It keeps living with new verses and intonations, snippets of other tunes. This is the best version I've heard since the Rattle and Hum version! Thanks for filming.

[ul4ire]

I agree mercurysound. I've heard most of them and this is one of the greatest versions of this song. Thank you for posting.

[mercurysound]

I've heard virtually every version of this song the band has played ever, and this is one of the great performances. Wonderful ad-libbing, scatting, speak/singing from Bono. Less emotive and more meditative. The one song of theirs that continues to evolve and reveal from performance to performance. Thanks for posting.

[technoscratch]

hey U2006com...you are the best...great quality..

thanks i saw live with the help of U2006com

[theedge76]

bono should have jumped into the crowd and let the band play the same thing for 6-8 minutes...you kno, wat they did int he same stadium at live aid

[Pinkeltje61]

Living in Belgium, we missed Paris, we missed Amsterdam. But we did not miss London :D

Really an Unforgetable night with a great audiance in a beautifull stadium. Thank you for filming this.

[esotariq]

BEST

SONG

EVER!!!!!!

[welkemichiel]

This was the second performance I've seen this year, the first was in Amsterdam. The show in London was great, and to hear Bad for the second time, in one word 'Magnificent'.

[Quixote1025]

I'm dying for This when they come to New York. Since when does bono have a guitar during Bad? I've never seen that before.

[Xiako]

IS you take a look at the end, I think Bono goes cry!! It's a very emotive song!! The best song live!! =) Thanks

[katjushka7]

Yep - it was the best night ever and best concert I have even been in... Nothing more to say :)

[Rabauke4u]

Sadly, by this performance of Bono you can see that his beautiful and awesome voice is gone...

[theedge76]

what do u mean, like, do you mean since the tour has started his voice is already crap. Or that all the performances of this song in the last 20 years was shite cuz he had to smoke and ruin his voice

[Rabauke4u]

wow, -6, seems that people aren't objective enough. His voice in Milan, 2004, is still wonderful. I mean, especially in this song he is only "talking" the long singing parts. so, even the strongest u2fan - as i am - can't negate that. peace

[populrick2]

Bad luck, it was in 2005 :-)

[theedge76]

i wasnt "negateing" anything, i was replying to someone else comment about bono's voice, ok, yes his voice is still wonderfull, but not as wonderfull as it was in the 80's. And you dont have to be the strongest u2fan to say that eiether, i problably have more of their stuff than you, rare things most u2 fans havent heard.

[theedge76]

that was a reply to rabauke4u ....the replying thing seems to be fucked up

[luthander]

Amazing. If they return to Europe after releasing Songs of Ascent I will go to every show in a pursuit of hearing this song live

[rathkeale27]

heard them play this in dublin this year. it was amazing

[anacrobat89]

Wiiiiiiide awaaaaake!

Who says Bono can't sing that note anymore??! wow. Amazing performance of this song!

[mutzmatheus]

Great version. Bono changed the lyrics. Thaks so much fo that.

[EBurn69]

Wow, Bono actually hit the "wide awake" note just like he did on the Amnesty International tour from 1986!!! I couldn't stop replaying that part!! Can't wait to see them in Chicago, please hit that perfect note again for me!!!

[bonocrist]

bono. guitar on fire.

[kingbubu80]

I agree with Jysti....I was at the concert of 14th, I was sure they played Bad...this is the best U2 song live: emotions and shivers...I'm so sad to not be there also the 15th....fantastic show!!

[ladyraistlyn]

I was there on the 14th... they definitely didn't play Bad. I wish they had!

[Bubblegumable1]

in a word - gutted!

[Jysti]

I saw 3 concert of U2 and i've never see them play Bad live... :( This song should be play at every U2 concert like also Where The Streets Have No Name. Is the essence of U2

[Gudoozim]

Yeah man ... thanks for all your postings of this 360 tour so far ... i love watching your footage ... !!!!

[07912618796]

Best Night ever was last nite here at wembley the whole night was awesome but this song was so good best ever will be seeing them again until they retire

[silkensky]

A wonderful and very special performance. BTW, you can hear Bono playing some notes at beginning, it was sounding good, maybe it'll develop into something later? Anyway I'm just very very happy that they're playing this song my favorite of all time on this sensational tour. Hope becomes a bit more regular in the set.

[eLegantLywasTed7]

wow... incredible performance... shades of 1985 (Live Aid)... thanks again! youve done an unbelievable job in this 360° Tour!!... xD

[SuperFreakNZ]

My other favorite song. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[NilThree]

Whoa, since when has Bono played guitar on Bad?

[Hallucination]

agreed. weird. is he even playing? he does love to hold a guitar here and there haha
