@Legman124 That was the magic - this song has always been monumental when it is brought back at the end. Bono's guitar was utterly brilliant too. Watch out there The Edge ;)
Could listen to this one over and over again, love this one, particularly in the end where Bono seems to be the only one of 4 aware the clouds have not disappeared from the sky yet. Just close your eyes and listen how brilliant that played out.
Of the first album I bought in my life of all artists ever! Just things you never forget in life. Wished they also played The Unforgettable Fire itself.
@Venray001 They have performed The Unforgetyable Fire during this tour. Like you, I realy hoped that they would have played it in Brussels too... Too bad they didn't. At the other hand, for me, this concert was by far the best in years! U2 ROCKS FOREVER!!
I think these guys actually enjoy playing this song everytime. the smile on adam and bono's face gives it away. Definitely there best song and a massive fan favourite
@jzuijlek best live song, for sure. most will say streets, which is great, but bad will always be #1 for me. hearing it live is definitely on my bucket list. i've seen quite a few shows, but no luck yet. cheers!
It seems that after Bono's injury U2 are back with a vengeance. Bono's voice is so much better now. Difficult songs like Pride, Bad, Miss Sarajevo, TUF, HMTMKMKM sound better then they have in years. Best band in the world? You bet, and it looks like they're here to stay!
Wow, this sounds really good. I haven't heard Bono hit the notes for this song like this in years... maybe since ZooTV. Here's hoping they bring it back as a mainstay... it really seems fresh and passionate.
it only lacks "Love Will Tear Us Apart" snippet... but it's still great, really. Shame I went to Hannover and Vienna this year, didn't see Mercy's live debut, didn't see Bad live... I've already been to (only) 5 U2 shows in my life and I think I won't be lucky enough to see them playing Bad live... shame, that was always my dream. But I'm soooo happy that they started playing Ultra Violet on this tour, ahhh!! :)
Amazing version! Thanx for putting this up! They're older, yes, but they make it different to suit them and it evolves to something great and Bono really goes for it! A very "band-moment" around that restart..
Bono esta cantando con la grabación de su voz de fondo. Por eso no me gusto, asi que que Bad. Prefiero que las canciones que no le salen bien no las toquen mas, pero que no caigan en lo que hacen la mayoría de los grupos y dejen de ser U2. U2 pronto a Chileee ...
@JoRu94 if they're true to form, they'll still only play it sparingly. i think the emotion has to be right for them to play this song. word was that the brussels crowd the night before was the loudest of the tour. maybe "bad" was their "thank you." they really guard this song and, to be honest, i'm glad they do. i think i look forward to every concert that much more, wondering if (hoping!) they will play it. i like streets live, but i love bad, prob b/c they play the latter so little.
@hocyouthguy I agree with your thoughts on them guarding "Bad". It's good. They overplay another emotional masterpiece "One", and sometimes the feeling isn't there (especially from Bono). Are you from Manila? I heard U2 is very big in the Philippines. I'm from Singapore :) Fly to Australia to see them next tour. It is expensive (start saving now), but we don't know when they'll stop touring. Don't regret.
@ayajedi The last time they played Bad on the 360° Tour was in Chicago over a year ago! Here is a list (thanks to U2gigs) : 2009-07-21 - Amsterdam, Netherlands - Amsterdam ArenA 2009-07-24 - Dublin, Ireland - Croke Park 2009-07-27 - Dublin, Ireland - Croke Park
2009-08-15 - London, England - Wembley Stadium
2009-08-22 - Cardiff, Wales - Millennium Stadium
2009-09-12 - Chicago, Illinois - Soldier Field
2010-09-23 - Brussels, Belgium - King Baudouin Stadium
OMG this is the BEST version of BAD on the 360 tour to date, IMHO. The entire band is in the zone during this song. Love the Singing in the Rain snippet, with the BAD reprise. I got goosebumps. I'm ready for 2011 US tour!!!
I'm so glad I went to see U2 in Brussels the 23th instead of the 22th... It's such a wonderful song! The whole concert was amazing and the rain made it perfect!
lucky belgians! I think Bad should become a staple instead of In A Little While, which is absolutely weak. Bad is fantastic, it gets the crowd going, when Bono sings it so good! Liked the moment when Larry finished the song, but Bono shaked his head to tell him that they should continue. Should agree with the previous commentators that U2's rain shows are the best. I was at Moscow gig under a heavy rain and it was amazing! Too bad they didn't sing Bad that time :)
@yauckt Erm no why would you say that??? just saying i wished they played it in Paris as i was at the show ok! Everybody knows the capital of the world is Scotland lol.
beautiful song. perhaps one of their best ever. makes me wonder why they do not play it all the time. clearly bono's voice is still good enough to reach those notes. I come from the philippines and sad to say, U2 has never set foot in our country. We are the biggest U2 fans in all of Asia. I do know that we do not have a venue to support their concerts.. but nothing is impossible. thank you u2gigs for posting these songs online. Its my only gateway to their concerts. It means everything
@adolfhuffer met some really nice pinoy fans at the oakland concert back in '05, traveling thousands of miles for the concert. now that's dedication! cheers to manila getting a concert someday!
This song is why U2 is the greatest live musical act the world has seen. It is quite a shame the band goes through these periods where they shelve it for other worn out songs like "New Year's Day, "Pride", etc for their live act, "Bad" should be played at every live U2 show. Without it, the show is incomplete in my view...
WoW, Havent heard this since Chicago 1... His voice is finally on for this one.. Most times they play this on the last few tours he has had a hard time hitting the notes.. GREAT JOB !!!!
Why they don't play this universally loved treasure (and my favourite U2 song EVER) at every show is beyond me.... please keep this in your set until the end of time.... <3
i was there. One of the most amazing moments of my life. Was more than worth standing up for 9 hours
