Okay, I?m not working today, some health problems, nothing serious, but it bugs me a lot. So I felt the same compulsion I?m used to, which is listening to my fave U2 song ever, Bad. The song really has a healing power for me.
Now I?m here, trying to compare both of their greatest performances of Bad IMO, from Happy New Year 1989 Dublin and Zooropa 1993 Dublin RDS Stadium. And as usual, I can?t come to a conclusion which one is the best.
I love some specific things in each one. I think that the highlight of the 1989 version is Bono?s voice and interpretation, incredibly passionate, almost raging, much like the Live Aid performance. I would prefer that the drums weren?t so loud though. And the tempo could be more lower IMHO. Or am I hearing things? LOL
As for the 1993 version, I like the use of falsetto Bono does in the "I?m wide awake" part and throughout the song, it?s softer but nice. Also we can hear Adam?s bass much better in this one. But what I like the most in the 1993 version is the absolutely marvellous medley in the end with Candle in the Wind, Fool to Cry and ending with The First Time. Too bad they cut Bullet, but oh well, nothing is perfect...
Okay, now it?s your turn. What are your thoughts or feelings about it?
And sorry for the long post, but you know, when I have some free time, I like to use it in a useful way. And btw, I?m feeling better already, thanks
