I may write in text-speak, but at least I use punctuations when I do.
(Don't take that 2 heart, just kidding)
As 4 vocal range, I've heard people say his "WIDE AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE" in Bad is the highest.... can't remember which note it is musically.

"keep my EYES wide awake"??????????
you mean "keep my ARMS down below"? That one is high. One thougt I have is; now when he is able to sing like he do in that line, could he pull that sound and force in ISHFWILF, for an example in: "I have climb HIGHEST mountain" ?

In the Classic Albums: The Joshua Tree DVD you can hear that ISHFWILF was recorded in an even higher tuning than the final version but was pitched down for the album.

Bono's voice has really matured through the years. During the Vertigo tour, his hitting & holding those notes in SYCMIOYO and Miss Sarajevo were absolutely amazing. I also favor the vocal range of Steve Perry. He and Bono have similar vocal styles.

More like hard singing since the UF tour - and that includes the UF tour. "Pride" has always been rearranged for live performances because I think it's just way too difficult for anyone to sing night after night.

Yes, but the best performence of that song was 1986-06-15 - East Rutherford, when he gives his all.
I uploaded the whole show:
www. send space.com/file/tcrxnl
turn up the speakers loud
Because this show has the best versions of Bad, SBS and Pride. Bono's voice peak.

Peterrrr have you heard the June 6 1986 concert from the Conspiracy Of Hope tour, this features a great version of Bad, it sounds as if Bono's hitting some very high notes on the 'Wide Awakes', it must be up there with the East Rutherford performance it terms of vocal versatility and power. Bono sounds very young too, much younger than he actually was at the time.

That version is great, one of the strongest performences of that song, but the East Rutherford version is still the best. Bono has another sound when he hits Wide Awake on East Rutherford. Also the "and so faaaaaaaaade, faaaaaaaaade" part is brilliant on ER.

Yeah East Rutherford still has the edge, but Bono was in great voice in 86, it was one of his strongest periods I think, but he was great all throughout the eighties I think. Washington 92 is also a great night for Bono, check out the version of Bad on that, his voice is so powerful on the high notes at the end.

That one is also good, SBS on that night is also a good one. His voice was good in the 80's, except LT tour, to much screamin, difficult to holding notes. I havent heard any LT version of Bad when he holds Wide Awake for long. Compare WOWY and ISHFWILF and you hear very clear the difference between JT and LT tour.

I never minded the screaming on Lovetown, I really like the power, for me its not really about the technicalities or how long he holds the note, its more about the emotion and feeling behind his voice you know? He doesn't hold the Wide Awakes very long in the Rattle and Hum version but I love the desperation of the performance, it's one of my favourites.
Bono's voice is constantly changing isnt it, some singers sound the same throughout their whole career but not Bono. On Zoo TV his voice sounded lighter to me, not quite as rich and heavy as in the eighties although he was still capable of great things. Popmart was more variable though, sometimes he sounded great, sometimes not so. Rotterdam 97 is excellent, he sounds like a different man, younger, cleaner, the higher notes are easier for him to hit.
Strange, but it helps keep things interesting I guess.

I don't like they way he sang on LT, when he was going to hold a note he had problem holdning it for an exmaple: wide awaake eh eh yeah heh. Almost in every song.
His voice now is very good, he is a better singer then ever.
