to clarify, how much of this song did they actually play live? i know that in milan they tagged a short bit of it on the end of Bad. but apparently it was also played sept. 9 in detroit. however it was no at the end of Bad, it was after satellite of love, so i'm wondering if it was a few short verses, or the full band playing the song.

(yes, i also know about the hersey rehearsals as well)
 
I understand the Detroit performance was of the complete song.

is this link the detroit performance?

How I wish! No recording is known to exist of that performance, and correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure Blue Room will :)), but it was the only full band performance live.

Well, actually you are incorrect. The full band version was never done in concert. But Detroit 9-9-92 is the only time the entire song was performed. Bono sang the whole thing, but it was all acoustic and it was just Bono. The other 3 times it was done, he only sang part of the song.
