War Child
Having listened to numerous performances of this song spanning from the Unforgettable Fire era to Vertigo, I still find Bad from Popmart Perth 1998-02-17 to be one of Bono's most emotional. He's always sung this tune with a ton of passion, but in addition to that you can totally feel pain and loss in his voice throughout the entire song here and at times it's as if he's about to cry, quite unlike any performance before or since. I uploaded it from that gig if you haven't heard it yet.

Anyone know if this performance was dedicated to Michael Hutchence? I know Bono and Hutchence were pretty close. Perth wasn't Michael's hometown, was it?
I realize most fans consider Bad subpar on Popmart but personally I feel some versions played on the tour rank among the best like Perth, Santiago and Melbourne. I'd love to have Buenos Aires 1998-02-07 in soundboard format (same goes for the entire show).
