Agree with all of the previous comments, U2 doesnt change with time, Its way ahead of its time, They make very powerful music, lyrics..

Without a doubt the greatest band ever..

He hasn't lost the passion, he is choosing to sing it this way. If you think he's lost it check out some of the vertigo tour performances of Miss Sarajevo and Sometimes you can't make it, he still got the passion, you just can't sing the same song the same way for 20 years, you have to change it up.

I was at this concert right on the barrier in front of where this was filmed and the girl up with Bono was standing next to me. She is a Brazilian girl, absolutely stunning I might add.

The crowd was so loud that night Bono struggled against our cheering and changed key often to get above us. AWESOME CROWD!!!! AUSTRALIAN CROWDS ARE THE BIGGEST AND LOUDEST.

And on Pride, I feel that the studio version is best. The live versions just don't seem to replicate the ambient guitars and drumming. With Bono, his mulleted days are when he seemed to have the most energy, and when the Joshua Tree Tour came he was more like a man with the world on his shoulders, and he had found an extra octave step up in his voice. Of course J. Tree was somewhat a change to a more spiritual sound. And the best 21st century version of WOWY would have to be Sao Paolo 2006.

R & Hwas taken from several parts of the Joshua Tree Tour, which means vocally not all of the songs there are performed at the same level by Bono, because his voice was going as the tour went on. But With or Without You from R&H is often considered the best live version because it was filmed when his voice was 100%. Bad was mediocre because it was filmed when his voice was somewhat weaker during the tour... In my opinion, Bad Live from Dortmund 84' is the best version; most passion in that one.

Also, listen to Still havent Found from Rattle&Hum, vs. the Rock and Roll HOF induction. True, the 80's performance had more power. But, his voice was much sweeter in today's version, which made the song very beautiful. In terms of New Years Day, I agree, the Red Rocks version was amazing. But... don't discount Pop-Mexico City '97. "say its true it's true..." was never sang with more power or range... EVER. That performance was mind blowing.

TWern, I appreciate our debate here, and am enjoying it thoroughly :-) I have watched plenty of mid-80s performances. That's how I became a fan of U2 actually. I will give you this: WOWY, is not nearly as good as it once was. I think he sings pride better today, technically. But it definitely had more power in years past. That being said, Bad still gives me chills. Compare Bad from Rattle&Hum movie vs. Bad in Saitama Japan 2006. You will see that 2006 was better. He hit "wide awaaaake."
