Amazing performance...

Can anyone do this type of concert these days? Not even close..except maybe U2...if Bono's voice is in good form...

[LoyalRaiderFan]

What I love about "Bad," more than any song is that as many times as I listen to the song, each version is somehow different, no matter if the difference is small or large....in some, Adam Clayton's base comes through strong, in others, Edge varies the guitar bits, particularly at the end...or Bono's voice inflection changes. The song to me as much indicative of U2's ability to change and their greatness as any song they've done and as usual it is completely original. Not another one like it.

@LoyalRaiderFan Could not agree any more. Just an incredible song by an incredible band.

This song is about a heroin addict or so is said about the origins. But, easily can be related to the codependence of cohabitating with a mental abusive man or a woman. To any of those who live with such an unhappy addiction, fear or “prison”, serve yourself, twist and turn away, set your spirit free and lead your heart away, break away into the light and into the day.

@MrThomasdrewsen Or was it 'the self-aid concert'? Never mind, U2 had changed by then anyhow

@joewillant Hey, good point (I would've loved to see them back then), but please elaborate on the 'Lovetown' part... Sounds interesting, since I don't know about it :-)

Btw; without having actually seen the DVD for the Unforgettable Fire 25th anniversary, the idea of including that amnesty koncert from 86 seems out of place - since they were already all into cowboy hats and indian coats at that time, which was a far stretch from the U2 of 84/85 imo

he knows what he´s singing about, personal accounts makes you listen, u can hear it..... bone chilling,.... if pain was a song this song is the real deal.... addiction in any way a form is Bad... i have learnt from friends and loved ones and i am glad bono is still around

Show!!

How anybody can dislike this performance is beyond me.. People that are interested in the DVD; the bootleg can be downloaded at the ultimate bootleg experience.

Bono if you're listening I need to say, the beuaty of the internet is we get to see you at your best and your worst- your best is in this video...I look forward to seeing it again

I think this is the real version on their live album...Under a bloodred Sky....I recognize this...
