I never quite saw the point... Edge mumbling over playback
I agree. It's one of the very few songs that never worked live.

That was incredible. Ali should stick to listening to Boyzone.Why would this even matter?
It was an amazing performance. Very emotional.
YouTube - U2 Please 1997 MTV Video Music Awards
I think it's fine on DVD and 'works' in that sense. I mean, it's Numb. There's not a lot you can do with it. It is what it is. So if you like Numb - there it is. And if you don't - well, you don't. But I agree that in a stadium... tough. I bet he was effectively inaudible for most of the crowd.
I'm pretty sure Edge performed Numb "live" at an MTV awards too,
what really pissed me off though is how they went and put the original studio guitar part over the Sydney performance when re-releasing it on DVD. It's one thing to edit little guitar mistakes but to cut the guitar and put the studio version in is a different thing altogether...!!
I can't imagine how that was a 'bad' performance when isolated from the occasion, let alone U2's 'worst.' That's mad.
numb wasn't just edge mumbling over playback... except the MTV awards obviously, that was pretty fucking ballsy haha
And we just happen to be talking about MTV performances...
Actually the breakdown in the middle pays a sly tribute to Simple Minds best phase with an I Travel snippet around the 2:33 mark before the "mother / son" part, Adam plays the riff throughout the rest of the song...
