If I could, yes I would
If I could I would, let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
And so to fade away
So let it go
And so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Does anyone know why it was called Bad though?

Bad is a song that embodies U2, it makes them better than everyone else, I've been blessed to get to see these guys a whole bunch of times and when I hear that song I think back to UF and JT tours. When they would play this song for 10-15 minutes. When the opening chords chime off of Edge's guitar it's just like a piece of heaven. I wish they would play this song EVERY night and rotate a couple of other's out IMHO.

Everything you say is 100% accurate, but let me ask you this....did you think Bono did it justice in 2001? Personally, seeing this live for the first time in 2001 was epic. But it pains me to say, having been SO used to the Wide Awake In America version, that it was disappointing to not hear Bono hit those key yells.

That's an excellent point you bring up. I wish you were able to see this song in earlier tours. This song was the "centerpiece" of all U2 shows on UF and JT tours. I'm actually qouting one of the members there, I can't remember who it was.
I agree with you whole heartedly you are right on point with that observation.

Chicago 1 or 4? I was there at Chicago 1 and I started screaming like a nut... it's the best version of Bad I've ever heard, honestly. I guess I'm just biased 'cause I was there but although there have been better songs snippeted (Walk on the Wild Side ) overall that performance of Bad was just mindblowing. It was so surreal. I never really appreciated Bad til then. I had considered it overrated for a long time, now it is in my top ten. I prefer Bono's voice now a million times over to his voice in '85. I hope they do Bad at Live 8...could be their best performance ever.

Chicago 1, absolutely loved it, especially what he said in the intro. I was just listening to it a few minutes ago actually (posted an mp3 for someone in the A/V forum) and it's as good as I remember. It's funny that you say that because I also thought it was overrated for a long time, but as soon as I heard the opening music (chords? uh ) starting in Chicago it was like I "got it" for the first time, and I've been a U2 fan since Unforgettable Fire.
