Bono’s vocals here are just incredible. The passion, his chest voice, the falsetto. All blended together. There might have been a better male singer/vocalist or two out there in the last 30+ years but there was never a better male vocal performer. Ever!!!!
Check out the bonus disc on the remastered version of Unforgettable Fire. It’s got the version from Wide Awake in America…. Remastered. And for my money, that’s still the best version. This is a close second. Wish he hadn’t walked away at 6 minutes. I would’ve loved to stay in that loop.
Carlos Lievano wow. I’ve loved so so many U2 songs, never really even thought about calling any of them the best. But I cannot disagree with you somehow. The Wide Awake in America version is still my favorite that I’ve heard.
for me this song is to be played continually at my wake, none of that catholic hymn crap... that I grew up with... this song always fits me whole souled...
Since 1983 I was looking for U2 probably in all the wrong places. Finally found them in1987 with the JT-album. Where Running to Stand Still constantly seeked my attention. Didn't know why cause I didn't like it at much. Had to play their album when my husband was't home because he hated my obsession with U2. Running to Stand Still became a life prediction. Took me until 1998 (!!!) to finally hear for the very first time Bad, The Unforgettable Fire and New Year's Day. My all time favourites from the minute I discovered them on a "The Best of" album.... so many years too late. So many songs later on I always think: if I had heard this in the years of release.... I would have taken such different roads to travel...afterwords they always represent my history or were predictions. No one coming between me and U2 anymore. Because it's true... I read it here thay it changed peoples lives. Would have changed mine too. It's bittersweet sometimes... but now I AMthe owner of MY life and I breathe U2... every single day. They are truly the greatest band on earth!!!!💝💝💝
TRUE INSPIRATION, WORDS and the way REAL music truly IS,,,,,, U2, I didn't realize how much I missed listening to their music till I saw a biography on Bono yesterday, it gave music a chance to inspire me with my Lyme Disease to have a better outlook and stop feeling sorry for myself for a while. Anyone who has an Auto Immune Disease deserves to feel sorry for themselves once in a while, just sayin'
The Edge was damn good, Adam is grooving, Bono and The Edge have long hair. So much energy. Best live performance I've seen by them, wish I was there. The ending is different, kind of cool.
+Pascal HUIBAN J'y étais aussi ! L'année 1987 de mes 14 ans je vois U2 pour la première fois le 15 juin au Zenith puis le 4 juillet rebelote à l'hippodrome de Vincennes !
+Dandy Don It's a "U2" thing that every time they play this song, everybody says "Best live permormance ever" hehe IT's the "U2 Magic"..It's a kind of love..feelings..emotion...Best Band Ever!
il faisait tellement chaud ce 4 juillet.. jamais vu autant de monde se faire evacuer a cause de la chaleur... mais ça valait le coup... concert monstrueux
the song "bad" makes me feel good. john bono and the rest of u2 are living legends in their own right. this is very relaxing music after a hard work in the field of ops.
I missed their concert 20 years ago and hated myself once I later found out they sung the songs they did. I didn't correlate the name with the songs, for some reason. I made it a point to see them wherever they played (15 years later). I've seen 5 shows since. This is one of the songs I hold dear and just wished to hear it so bad at a show. It came on in the encore. It dropped me to my knees in tears. Overwhelming. I never understood how people cry over a band. I did my 1st U2 concert!
It's been said that a U2 concert is a religious experience. Loved them for many years but of late not so much. Better when they were hungrier. ; ) The Irish love their offings be it music, sport, stars, etc., much pride and I'm Proud To Be Irish! Up The Rebels!!
Oh my God...thank you so, so much for posting... Words cannot describe what this song means to me - this is truly one of the most amazing versions ever. The Joshua Tree tour was, in my opinion, one of the most important times in music for my entire generation. The passion that fills this song brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful and emotional - it makes you want to cry and smile at the same time...merci!
The pinnacle of U2 before commercial success went to their head. The music of U2 was fantastic, I just wish they could have stayed grounded in their revolutionary ideology. Regardless, thank you for many great memories. Your philanthropy will always be appreciated.
Clearly, U2 was at the apex of their inspirational prowess in 1987, both as a stellar recording and majestic live act, and although they would hit a daring creative peak with Achtung Baby in 1991, it was all miserably downhill after that.
U r right but I liked Pop (songs like „Please“ and „wake up dead man“ were great). The last over average U2 album. Unfortunately, it received bad critics. Today, U2 is musically horrible and the members are hypocrites!
Bono,vc é uma pessoa admirável. Não tenho palavras pra descrever o quando sou uma pessoa completa nessa fase da minha vida muito graças as canções do U2 q pregam o amor e acima de td a simplicidade de viver
I was too young to see U2 at their absolute best, as demonstrated here. Thank you for posting and I am very thankful for TH-cam. Thank you U2 for producing such remarkable music. Perhaps, you will visit Utah again.
Obrigado, Meu Deus! Obrigado U2 !! Tive a oportunidade de poder Participar de um dos maiores Show dessa banda, Tive o privilégio de poder estar na frente de Bono Edge Adam Larry Miller emoção única.... Que vou eternizar na minha Memória! Love U2 Masterpice,🎸🎶❤️❤️✌️✌️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 The Edge Monster 🎸🎶
One of the best U2 songs....I was in Coimbra show (Portugal) in 2nd october 2010, and there is so many diferences.....the "Spider" stage was awesome...the clothes were so diferent.....no long hairs....funny diferences.....I love U2...come to Portugal soon.....:)
What a great song to write derive future songs from. The Stones had Satisfaction...and you can hear the basis of many future great songs from U2 from this. This is such a brilliant song!

anyone else get goosebumps as soon as Edge comes in with the riff? I for sure did.❤
Mine kick in when Bono points at Edge and starts fading backwards as he sings “fade away.” It’s perfect
J’étais là à l’hippodrome de Vincennes, j’avais 16 ans et depuis ça reste toujours le plus beau concert de ma vie.
More than 80.000 people at this show at the Paris-hippodrome, but no big screen, no blinding lights, just some pure rock... best day of my life.
Fuck that's so true...literally just the magic of their music...wow
Bono’s vocals here are just incredible. The passion, his chest voice, the falsetto. All blended together. There might have been a better male singer/vocalist or two out there in the last 30+ years but there was never a better male vocal performer. Ever!!!!
The emotion the power of his voice evokes is indescribable!!
Bono in the peak of his prime right here. The best U2 live version of Bad. Ever.
Check out the bonus disc on the remastered version of Unforgettable Fire. It’s got the version from Wide Awake in America…. Remastered. And for my money, that’s still the best version. This is a close second. Wish he hadn’t walked away at 6 minutes. I would’ve loved to stay in that loop.
Live Aid? 🤔
Live aid😊😊😊
if i were god i would travel to this moment on an endless loop, forever.
C'était mon premier concert… inoubliable!
Love to see Bono taking advantage of how good his voice sounds
bad is one of the greatest songs of all time, any version is fantastic live is always phenomenal
Well, Bad is the best U2 song.
John Gosper defina tely one my faves❤
Carlos Lievano wow. I’ve loved so so many U2 songs, never really even thought about calling any of them the best. But I cannot disagree with you somehow. The Wide Awake in America version is still my favorite that I’ve heard.
John Gosper
Bon Jovi likethan incubadora de
This song is forever the most beautiful thing i never heard
this is the band change my life...u2..thanks to bono,adam,larry,edge.,and all u2 fans...love u2 from portugal..paul
for me this song is to be played continually at my wake, none of that catholic hymn crap... that I grew up with... this song always fits me whole souled...
I was at this concert. Paris, 1987. It was literally life changing for me.
Really opened me to what life could really be like

Me too :)
Tom Steinfeld music can be
@@Lafayette19P 1998? Whhhhaaaaaaattt? Glad you finally found it. Amazing album.
I miss this time so much. That man could sing and that band was unstoppable.
their glory days...
I miss it too. I wish everyone, one time in their lives, could feel how it felt watching these guys back then
That man has a name
My God, this is probably one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam in a long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I got chills! What a mood driver! Like nothing can beat you.
I was at this concert absolutely fantastic...saw Bowie the night before!!
3:24 .... That is really hard do to, as a tenor that is some crazy sh!t.

Divino, eu que n tenho religao nenhuma sinto uma paz de espírito com essa música .. tudo vai da certo
Best Band forever and ever!!!!!!....Mullen on drums, Adam Clayton on bass, Paul Hewson "Bono " ,Dave Evans "The Edge".....You are great!!!
U2 is the best band ever I was so lucky that I could see them twice
So glad for technology to be able to see this epic performance from u2 his song gives me hope! & happines
The Edge was damn good, Adam is grooving, Bono and The Edge have long hair. So much energy. Best live performance I've seen by them, wish I was there. The ending is different, kind of cool.
I was there and you 're right..It was AMAZING....
+Pascal HUIBAN J'y étais aussi ! L'année 1987 de mes 14 ans je vois U2 pour la première fois le 15 juin au Zenith puis le 4 juillet rebelote à l'hippodrome de Vincennes !

pareil.. sauf que moi je les avais rates au zenith.. mais je les avais vu a bercy en 1985 pour mes 15 ans
il faisait tellement chaud ce 4 juillet.. jamais vu autant de monde se faire evacuer a cause de la chaleur... mais ça valait le coup... concert monstrueux
The Edge takes you to other places with that guitar. stunning
the song "bad" makes me feel good. john bono and the rest of u2 are living legends in their own right. this is very relaxing music after a hard work in the field of ops.
i was there..july 4th 1987... it was so hot that day
Can't get enough of this song....
a lyrical genious....considering his age when these songs were written, your listening to a very old soul.

Excelente banda ótimo show linda música perfeita saudades dessa época 1987 eu tinha 17 anos de idade saudades dessa época que não volta mais
God bless U2 !!
God bless you too.

Went to their head? Listen to "Every Breaking Wave," or "Moment of Surrender" and say that again with a straight face.
Could not disagree more. Hold Me thrill me kiss me kill me, Lemon, Beautiful Day, so many awesome songs after Achtung baby
Loving money has a way of poisoning everything.
U r right but I liked Pop (songs like „Please“ and „wake up dead man“ were great). The last over average U2 album. Unfortunately, it received bad critics. Today, U2 is musically horrible and the members are hypocrites!
I stick with watching U2 in their early years for songs like BAD.
A MELHOR BANDA DE TODOS TEMPOS NAO ME CANSO DE OUVIR LINDO
pure class and talent
so much energy in this song really!!!!!!awesome
Ironically Bad makes me feel good.
U2 simplesmente a melhor banda de música do mundo de todos os tempos.
This is the real U2 ....the band that influenced me....
the Rattle & Hum version sounds very nice too ;) It has a wonderful compressed and strong tone...
Completamente apaixonada U2❤✌
Que prazer te assistir no Brasil em 2006 hot área e em 2011 Amo
Bono,vc é uma pessoa admirável. Não tenho palavras pra descrever o quando sou uma pessoa completa nessa fase da minha vida muito graças as canções do U2 q pregam o amor e acima de td a simplicidade de viver
the live version from rattle and hum is best imo but it's been removed from youtube for a while now
Od sedemnástich to počúvam a tá muzika sa mi vždy dostane pod kožu! Neskutočný Edge!!!
Por Siempre U2!
BAD

What a great song to write derive future songs from. The Stones had Satisfaction...and you can hear the basis of many future great songs from U2 from this. This is such a brilliant song!
set your spirit free is good for a poem
in 1983 he had the best range, here he gained some lower notes but lost notes in his high end register. check out Gloria at red rocks for example.
This is so cool gut wrenching❤❤
if one day my son asks me what Perfection is, i'll show him this video...
Epic song.
No Line On The Horizon is already the top album on iTunes and it hasn't even been 24 hours...is anyone even surprised?
U2 forever.
tra le migliori di sempre ! capolavoro assoluto!!
Finest live version of Bad. Tremendous
the best BAD in the world.
Linda demais ADORO!!!!!
My favorite U2 song.
How amazing song from de instruments so clear , microphone 🎤 and speaker 🔈 so powerful .
We're awake and watchin ya ❤this song!!

Que bestialidad Bono en la cima de su voz!!, U2 fue y será una de las bandas mas profesionales de la historia.
Bono is golden there!
Amazing😍😍😍😍 I Love You Guys❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great Songs Best Band😍😍😍😍😍😍
my absolute favourite since 1999 when I first heard it
Um hino!
best version is from live aid '85, that version is TRANSCENDENT
+joseph dellaquilla nah, this is way better, this might be their best performance to date
+joseph dellaquilla It's close but to me the best version is 1986's Amnesty International version. O.M.G.
Loved the Live Aid crowd involvement. Like this performance by Bono better.
