Yes, but it could rotate. And I hate to see it replace Zoo Station(I'm very fond of Zoo since it was the first U2 song I ever heard).

I think it will be alternated but wont be on the single night main setlist. Multiple night cities will most likely see it at one of their shows though.

I hope they play it in Cleveland even though it's a single night gig. I'll be sad if they don't play it because it's one of my favorites , plus it's my first U2 show.

The whole main setlist could be vastly different by the end of the third leg. So who knows what will be a standard at that point. Other than the Dismantle songs and Streets.

why couldn't they have done it a day earlier?

I hope they play it at MSG in May, do you think it's a possibility?
Bad is my favorite song ever, so I can't even put into words how much it would mean to me to hear them play it live.

"Bad" is one of those live songs that touches your soul and makes you feel alive.
Especially the wide awake part.

You know, this is my favorite song ever, but I'd rather they NOT play it every night. It'd be good to see it as a regular, but just not every night. It makes it that much more special to hear. As long as they play it in Oakland

I saw 2 LA shows, and the omission of Bad really hurt my overall impresssion of the shows (although show 2 was a pretty strong outing). And as far as Zoo Station (which is a song I do Love) is concerned, it just didn't really do it for me this time around.

Just listened to the Glendale version and this is what the setlist needed.

I hope Bad makes its frequent return now and we see it as often as Gloria and The Ocean. The Glendale version was really well done. I went to sleep last night listening to about 10 different live versions of Bad last night.

It's amazing how the addition of one song made the setlist seem complete. There are songs people want to hear that they haven't played yet, but "Bad" seems to make everybody happy. It's their ultimate live song - just listen to the studio version, no comparison. Along with "Streets" and "One," it should be played every night.

Another question to ponder is:
Will stay be bad?

Bad is my favorite LIVE U2 song, hands down. Hearing it at the Glendale show shot waves of electricity through my body. I hope it gets added to the show on a permanent basis, but....I do think that if it's in rotation, hearing it at a show you attend will make it even more special.
That might be masochistic thinking, I don't know.
I'm just glad it's been played, so now at every show, you have a realistic chance yoof hearing it.

When U2 plays New York City EVERYTHING goes out the window. Everyone thinks their town is U2's favorite. Well, I went to college in Boston, I'm a huge, huge Sox fan (so I obviously detest the Yankees) and I can tell you that U2 plays nowhere like they play New York. Outside of Dublin City, it has to be their single favorite place to rock a live show. I skipped Boston, which is half the distance from me that NYC is, so that I could see them in New York.
With only a single night there you can bet your bottom dollar it will be a very very special one.

They played Bad tonight in Denver. It kicked. I cried. I'm such a dork.

Did the Denver version of Bad have the snippet from Van Morrison's "In the Garden" in it (the 'No guru, no method, no teacher...' bit)? That really made the Glendale version for me.
