U2 - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Live (1987, Tempe)

The only time that U2 ever played "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" live. Quite a nice listen, even if it is rather short. Comes from one of those incredible shows where the setlist was really the mark of an end of an era: only performance of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", last performance of "Trip Through Your Wires" ever, last performance of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" until 1992, last performance of "Mothers of the Disappeared" until 1998 (and the last full band version of the song ever). Wish I could have been there!

I thought the music video was shot live in Ireland. Either way a great cover!

@AtlRacerBoyz The video was shot in the United States while they were on the third leg of the Joshua Tree Tour. Can't remember the exact date or location off by hand (its mentioned briefly in U2 Live: A Concert Documentary), but it was shot after a concert they played. Just the band and the cameras.

He was so nervous singing it for the first time that he messed up the lyrics. :-)

Hey its Mark Baker! Awesome U2 brother!

I do remember hearing them play it on David Letterman a few times right before Christmas -- supposedly it's Letterman's favorite Christmas song? (re: when/how many times has song being played live)
