better than being sick with Vertigo, amirite?
Was it this thread where people were asking about the "IMAP" mention at the beginning of I Will Follow? Found out it's the big screen - see the story at the link.

Despite the typo in the Rolling Stone story, Is this true or false?
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" led right into "New Year's Day," also from 1983's War. They've done this song more than 700 times, but this was the first time Bono has ever sang "And so we're told this is the golden age/And gold is the reason for the wars we age" from the final verse.

Aside from the fact you are backing up your own post...
Homie don't play that game, I'm not JDM111er. And for the record, I will see U2 for the tenth time in Cleveland. I'll just think about being on a beach somewhere during Bono's political diatribe.
Axver can answer that for sure, but it might be true. Don't remember it being in any live performance before. Might tie in with the whole gold fetish Trump has.
He has done "maybe the time is right" sometimes, but I don't think "golden age" has ever been done. Maybe there are one or two freak shows out there from the War Tour that do, but I can't recall any right now. There is one very weird partial New Year's Day from the Pre-War leg, and even that doesn't have the verse (it has "time is right" twice though, and begins with a verse from the US Mix/Kevorkian Mix):

Hell, even on this Japanese TV performance beset by difficulties, he makes up other lyrics rather than singing the "golden age" line:
I cannot shake the feeling there are one or two performances out there with the verse, but if there are I cannot recall them. All the shows on my list of likely suspects that I checked this morning don't have it.
There are no performances before this tour with that verse.
A rotating ripping 80s classic injects a nice surprise at the end though.
Bono screaming "lift the fucking roof off this place" was pretty sick
