As relating to U2, Bad takes me to many places, but one exceptionally fun to note that’s rather vivid was the final day of freshman year at UCF, as I prepared to leave the dorms. We had some $20 couch and a makeshift tv stand and a few other trinkets to share in our communal living room that we had to dispose of. So we dragged it all out first near the library and UCF’s “reflection pond”, and placed it smack dab in front of the administrative building. The couch, the table, the tv stand, a sound system and a 12” tube amp for good measures. And something compelled me to plug my iPod in and crank it up to max volume, where I broadcasted Bad (live) where the sounds pretty much made it across campus. Thing is,
The reflection pond is right in the center, and it is depressed such that it behaves like an amphitheater.
Oh, this was at like 2 AM.
