From my understanding, twas simply because they got sick of singing it while all the trouble in Ireland was still happening.
As far as the question goes, ad like to witness pre UF live, as av witnessed in person every tour since, except Lovetown.

Yes, I think that the concert they performed the night of the Eniskilin bombings in 87 resulted in what they believed to be the definitive version of Sunday Bloody Sunday (as covered in Rattle and Hum) and that there was no point in performing it again. At one point in 89 during an interview Bono actually said he could never see himself singing the song again. Of course he changed his mind.
gman said:I agree Gav. I think the song peaked JT tour. Since then, for me, its been like they feel obliged to sing it but their hearts not in it.
