i can't watch this song without first watching "Heartland" from the same DVD where they are walking around Elvis' house and Larry sits on Elvis' Harley. i like Larry's comments and as soon as he stops talking, while Larry is standing in the Elvis garden looking at the spot where Elvis is buried, the programmed sequencer arpeggios (the intro to Bad) start up, then they cut to the Edge on-stage and the song starts
EVERYTHING is right with this version. Guitar rocks, bass is powerful, Larry's drumming is bloody epic. Just the best ever version. I never tire of this version.
Totally agree...a few bands live, when they add those little nuances...are just sublime. U2 is one. This performance will forever be a masterpiece. Saw them live in Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe AZ 1987 (the Rattle and Hum performance) and it will be forever a highlight of my life.
In fact is from a real world where a former friend of Bono, of 21 years old boy died of an heroine OD. But as a song is just perfect. Still freezes my blood everytime i listen to it
not only is this the best U2 song, this is the best "version" of it (from the film Rattle & Hum) i listen to this in my car every single day and watch the dvd once a week in 5.1 dolby digital i heard that Adam never plays this song the same way twice. even if you go watch the "rare" version of this song from the 2nd night, he adds in some of the bass notes from the studio version. i think it sounds better this way. this is perfection from all 4 members. i even got my sister into it and she usually hates live versions of anything
@@johneisenheim184 The version of "I still haven't found" on this album (film) is also mindblowing. That woman that sings with him is amazing. This is without doubt my favourite album of theirs
R Thrall I always felt the rattle and hum version sounded better than the wide awake in America version. Bono’s voice sounded more powerful and the repeated “no no not fade-away” part was powerful in 1987.
I remember Listening to the Rattle And Hum Cassette tape with a Limited number of Songs and This Version of the song Was actually one of them. But I guess it was only for that cassette Tape
@@slvideo1 por qué tienes que decir que esta no es la mejor. Pues vengo de escuchar las que tu dices y musicalmente esta me parece mucho mejor en varios sentidos. De todas formas es u a opinión personal, no para que vengas tu a dar o quitarle la razón a nadie. Pues mira, para mí sí lo es, y con diferencia a demás, mucho mejor que las que tu mencionas. Ves?
I’m not a huge U2 fan... I like and respect their talent for sure don’t get me wrong, but this is one of the best performances of any song ever. Excellence captured.
Disagree. He messes up the cadence of the song, as well as sings in the wrong notes and incorrect tones. Half the time he's trying to replicate the studio version, then he's speeding or abbreviating the words.
The perfect version of „Bad“ is on the Live from Paris 1987 - Album!!! And bono says that the studio version wasn‘t done - not ready for people to hear it and that this song just live comes alive :)
I say this without hyperbole: I believe "Bad" - is one of the most powerful, moving, and beautiful works of art.... ever created (Including all of Music, Film, Literature, Poetry, Paintings, and any other artistic medium). I may be biased, because this is my favorite song of all time; But, I think it's only my favorite song, because I realized how incredible it is. This song literally changed AND saved my life, when I was going through the worst times of my life. It infuriates me when I hear people mocking U2, and trivializing their music, and their contribution to the 'Pantheon' of great songs and albums. Especially because people from my generation/age group (I'm 26), are the ones who LOVE to bash u2. This generation gets off- by criticizing, and being cynical towards any artist that tries to convey emotion and passion, in their art. NO person, that is honest with themselves, can truly say that songs like: Bad, Pride, One, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Still haven't found, and ALL of Joshua Tree... are not great songs. War, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, & Achtung Baby - are ALL Masterpieces. Any person that doesn't think U2 is one the greatest of all time, needs to listen to Bad. **Btw - Eddie Vedder LOVES Bad, and even said that it is "the greatest song ever written about addiction".
Bono often ad-libs different songs in the middle, but I've always thought the Stones Ruby Tuesday/Sympathy has best matched the innocence/darkness "If I could, you know I would" theme of the song.
I went to see U2 this past year for my 14th birthday. It was one of the greatest nights of my life, they are definitely the greatest live band ever. When they played this song it brought me to tears because I was so excited and where the streets have no name is just an amazing song in general. I’m graduating from 8th grade this year and for one of my requirements, I have to play a solo on my cello and I am playing a solo on my guitar for extra credit. I decided to play where the streets have no name on my cello and Sunday Bloody Sunday on my guitar. My parents have been playing their music my entire life. U2 is my favorite band ever. As a young musician, they are my greatest inspirations
I’m 14 now I’m in a rock band at my school I sing everyone says I sound like bono I have his passion and everything we played a gig and we played this song everyone loved it and I was going crazy after cause I love this song so much and I was very passionate about this song and I sung it with power and “pride” lol and everyone came up to me after I’m in gr. 8 new school and everything I had no clue who they were and I was like cool and now everyone knows who I am lol I have random people in the hallway saying hi
One of the many amazingly beautiful attributes of U2 is they write songs that any person can relate to...like they're open ended and so magical that they can take on many different meanings and no matter how many times I have listened to this song I will always be amazed every time I listen to it. Simply a masterpiece...
Yeah, like for me I'm two months coming out of an emotionally abusive relationship. Sounds random, but so many of these lyrics - the desperation for them to love you freely, so far you are willing to loss yourself - just like all of it. The isolation, the revelations, being wide awake and not sleeping, literally and figurateively. Just really cool how it can apply to literally anything
Probably my millionth time watching this performance since the age of 7 and now I am turning 40 in December. I still love this album as much as I always have.
La mejor versión de BAd de U2. Es un verdadero poema da la banda. Un sentimiento de espiritual . Es una canción que conecta de manera espiritual y mental con la banda. Algo único en la vida de cualquier ser humano. Comparte este sentimiento¡
This is how I want to remember Bono!! His voice is incomparable 💕👌 If I have to go to a concert this days I'll picture them in my mind exactly as this album Rattle and Hum. The best
Imagine playing live like this and knowing deep down that you are the best band in the world right at this moment. And they were just warming up with decades to go! Amazing music, Thank you my Irish cousins.
@@kamalasheiress4035 To me they are the musical equivalent of a prime Michael Jordan right at this moment. The band is jamming so tight around the 4:30 mark they physically group together around Larry while Bono pours himself out. Musician's dream of these moments. Bono's collapsing hug of Adam as he leaves the stage says it all. Thank you my Irish cousins!
I remember watching Rattle and Hum in my teens and this blew me away … over 20 years later, still one of the best captured performances ever!! Truly Majestic !! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I still remember the first time ever watching rattle and hum and this song coming on. No piece of music I have heard before or since has ever captured me and ripped me straight to front and centre and held me captivated quite like it. It’s one of the most amazing pieces of modern music ever created and while so dark and emotional has the ability to lift u up and leave u with such a sense of euphoria. And yet other versions of this song whether live or studio loose something. This single performance takes a great song and lifts it to much greater heights. It’s like it was written and never reached where it was meant to be. Something missing and unable to put your finger on it until u hear this performance, the emotion and energy plunged into it puts it in context for the first and only time.
After receiving a prestigious music award, Bono was asked to say something to the fans. He looked at The Edge and said "Edge, what do you think?" His reply was EPIC "We're STILL in our High School Band!" Crowd went nuts after hearing it!
I love the edited version of this on The Best of 1980-1990 VHS. They took out the Stones medley and that makes it the most perfect version, imo. Bono was at the height of his vocal powers on The Joshua Tree tour/Rattle & Hum/Lovetown.
At this time no one new that this band would be as big as they are. I saw them last year at US Bank in Minneapolis and that concert was sold out. People who love their older stuff call them sell outs. I truly believe if they would have not evolved their music they would have died out with the other 80 bands
I am in this rock movie 🎥 I was at the show were they Sunday Bood e Sunday and and a few other songs . STILL HAND DOWN THE BEST SHOW YOU EVER HOPE FOR . JUST AWESOME LIVE
The best of U2. 1989. All they did after that sucks. They where at their highest. Best of rock. When I read that the best song of U2 is One, I think people don't knows what spirit of U2 is. Or was. Bullet The Blue Sky, Silver & Gold. All the Rattle And Hum songs ARE U2.
Life is a fews days journey.... R. I. P.... To all our beloved ones.... They will never gone ntil you forget them... Remember this never let them go!!.... Thanks you
No fate away that's happening when someone is target by the police department and try to kill you the police department can frame anything sending people who do anything for a reward can be mony, a good job or something material like cars this song is telling that Bad.

yes exactly. the way it fades from Larry talking about Elvis to standing at the grave, to the music starting, so amazing.
My bits the scene when they're on the banks of the Missippi .. WOOO.
You gotta watch heartland, Bad Then Sunday Bloody Sunday from this movie trust me it’s amazing
EVERYTHING is right with this version. Guitar rocks, bass is powerful, Larry's drumming is bloody epic. Just the best ever version. I never tire of this version.
Dublin 1986
Aren't you forgetting Bono's awesome performance?1
Goes without saying. But you’re right. 👍🏼

Josue Navarro True story.

I love this video. It is an absolute crime that they did not put this song on the Rattle and hum album.
S Hitchcock might have found it redundant since a live version was on Wide Awake in America but I agree 100%!
R Thrall I always felt the rattle and hum version sounded better than the wide awake in America version. Bono’s voice sounded more powerful and the repeated “no no not fade-away” part was powerful in 1987.
The video really captured Bono, as well as the others, giving everything they had for the fans
they'd have to pay the Rolling Stones too much
I remember Listening to the Rattle And Hum Cassette tape with a Limited number of Songs and This Version of the song Was actually one of them. But I guess it was only for that cassette Tape
The best version of this soulful and emotive song. Possibly the best thing U2 have ever done. Certainly, this was their golden period.
for me the best version is Dublin 1986, and next wide awake in America
not the best version, Wide Awake and Live Aid are better
Indeed. This song changed my life from the very first time I listened to it.
Agree

LeeSa studio version is too slow, live version is on a different level. Just amazing
The perfect version of „Bad“ is on the Live from Paris 1987 - Album!!! And bono says that the studio version wasn‘t done - not ready for people to hear it and that this song just live comes alive :)
Ladies and gents this is why Bad is the best song of all time
LOL 😂
Sim
One of the greatest male voices of his time, absolute legend
This has to be one of U2's best performances ever caught on video. Absolute perfection. Can't believe this was 30 years ago.
I grew up on the Rattle and Hum DVD 📀 when I was a kid growing up in the aughts.
I say this without hyperbole:
I believe "Bad" - is one of the most powerful, moving, and beautiful works of art....
ever created (Including all of Music, Film, Literature, Poetry, Paintings, and any other artistic medium).

**Btw - Eddie Vedder LOVES Bad, and even said that it is "the greatest song ever written about addiction".
Chris Serpicø
one of the best, most powerful songs ever written. criminally underrated.
So true.
Totally agree my friend, being played at funeral!!!!
Beautifully put.
Bono often ad-libs different songs in the middle, but I've always thought the Stones Ruby Tuesday/Sympathy has best matched the innocence/darkness "If I could, you know I would" theme of the song.

bono vox can sing the phone book and it will still be great 😂
Used to
Adam Clayton! Would be cool to have a drink and a chat with that dude! U2
Clayton don't drink booze anymore.
This will always be the best U2 song
For you ;-)

Simply incredible sound. Best live album ever made.
gives me the chills every time I watch.
my auntie and godmother Gloria took me to my first concert-U2 when i was 12-unforgettable...Magic...
A contender for best song ever made, not just by U2, but by any artist, ever.
This is how I want to remember Bono!! His voice is incomparable 💕👌
If I have to go to a concert this days I'll picture them in my mind exactly as this album Rattle and Hum. The best
Best live version of this song!!!!! Touches my soul.....love U2
The very best version of this song I have ever heard! 😍
And it's also good to see that every comment on this page is sooo positive too! 😘👍
Has there ever been a better cut to slow-motion than at minute 5 in the history of music films? I would say no.
From 4:52 to 5:56 to most intensive expression of U2 and bono vox on his prime
Imagine playing live like this and knowing deep down that you are the best band in the world right at this moment. And they were just warming up with decades to go! Amazing music, Thank you my Irish cousins.
Right, and that’s not always predicted at a given time. You are just trying to survive, make the next gig here and there….
But yeah.

Rattle & Hum was the best album 😌 _and I don’t care who_ …….
The best performance of Bono. He s so real, sexy and wonderful in this song...i lov him from first time i seen 30 years ago!
NO, UA-cam, I DON'T WANT YOU TO STABILIZE IT.
What happened to this U2? Can someone bring them back please?
The best performance ever, Bono Vox is great.
também acho. charme puro!
Very emotional performance saw this in New Jersey 2005 at the Meadowlands they closed this song "Bad"
Why this was never put on the movie album we will never know.
I know right? And the same with With Or Without You- I love that version!
@@jeanettes2170 I think his voice peaked during this album (or shortly after). Wish I could go back to those times.
I"m always amazed at how directional those microphones are.. the crowd can be deafeningly loud and you barely hear it in the recording.
Because they edit the crowd out/make them quiet
No other version they did comes close to this, it's absolute perfection. Just simple and raw....sublime.
I love this era for this amazing band
To me best band ever no words describe the talent of U2 to see then live unbelievable
Nov 2019??

“True colours fly in blue and black” is such a great line. Load bearing pillar of the song.
It's criminal that this song isn't on the album. Best rendition I've ever heard.
forget the good songs gone before..this is what u2 was born to sing and perform.
Larry's drum during sympathy for the devil... Daaaaamn
Best U2 song,love it
For all of us struggling, you now we gotta get off this shit...
Wow! Incredible! What an amazing sound!
After receiving a prestigious music award, Bono was asked to say something to the fans. He looked at The Edge and said "Edge, what do you think?" His reply was EPIC "We're STILL in our High School Band!" Crowd went nuts after hearing it!
What a performance, hairs on my neck standing up, can't wait O2 October U2 the greatest band of all time !
Best version...Nuff Said
We grew up with this, we grew up to this, like 22 years ago was yesterday
I dedicate it to my friends Leonardo Cruz, Agripino Antero, Anderson, Randerson and Odair
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
I love the edited version of this on The Best of 1980-1990 VHS. They took out the Stones medley and that makes it the most perfect version, imo. Bono was at the height of his vocal powers on The Joshua Tree tour/Rattle & Hum/Lovetown.
I reckon his voice was best on the Zoo Tour personally. He maybe had more raw power in the 80's but I just love the way he sounded in the early 90's
Yeah, his voice was still amazing during that period.
Sang it last night in LA at Songs of Innocence and Experience tour - just as powerful as ever!!!
This and the Wide Awake in America version are the best
Rodrigo Huerta 1990 rotterdam is awesome too
Dublin 1986 greatest version
Essa musica desse jeito para mim sempre foi melhor do que a original.
It sucks getting old. Love that energy. I had it too.
The bass in this song is just awesome ❤
To anyone wondering what was so special about U2....show them this video..
the edge...what a feeling...
One of my all time favourite U2 songs
and still change my life ever..30 years ago this u2 bad song and u2 band change my life..love you boys from portugal
This song transcends boundaries ❤. - heroin addiction must be a Bitch
At this time no one new that this band would be as big as they are. I saw them last year at US Bank in Minneapolis and that concert was sold out. People who love their older stuff call them sell outs. I truly believe if they would have not evolved their music they would have died out with the other 80 bands
The best concert film EVER!!!!
Cuando la escuché en vivo en su última gira, me emocionó hasta las lágrimas!🤸🥲
No mms que padre hace cuánto fue , no he tenido la oportunidad de ir solo los estoy cazando
My all time favourite song from a legend band!
É COM MUITO ORGULHO QUE SOU FÃM DOS U2 Á 25 ANOS
This song is the best of them....👏
It makes me cry.
Uma das melhores musica !!
I think about this song, when I think about what it means to be a human being.
Bad - U2
Total greatness
One of the greatest performances
The greatest live song ever.
I Love u2* I love you so much You make me STRONG, just with your SMILE. Your voice is perfect..x

03182021
the guessing is so much easier today
waking up is not easy but when awake
BLESSED BE THE LIGHT
The best of U2. 1989. All they did after that sucks. They where at their highest. Best of rock.
When I read that the best song of U2 is One, I think people don't knows what spirit of U2 is. Or was. Bullet The Blue Sky, Silver & Gold. All the Rattle And Hum songs ARE U2.
Times by so fast. But u2's music stays forever...
this great song got me through every bad times 27 years ago and I hope it's gonna do the same again this tim
Sou tão fanático por essa musica que não consigo ouvir como musica, parece uma oração que ouço e sinto tocar a alma profundamente.
I love this song
Life is a fews days journey.... R. I. P.... To all our beloved ones.... They will never gone ntil you forget them... Remember this never let them go!!.... Thanks you
McNicols Arena, Denver, CO 1987
From Rattle and Hum directed by Phil Joanou
Greatest strat tone ever recorded
THE most amazing live performance I've ever witnessed.
Fantástico! Magnífico! Espetacular...
Larry visiting his hero. Love U2
tears...
Por algo fue el fin de una serie poca madre,LOS 100, creo esa canción salvó la serie
so much energy in this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing song!
The best live video of this band
I'm gonna die this is so
No fate away that's happening when someone is target by the police department and try to kill you the police department can frame anything sending people who do anything for a reward can be mony, a good job or something material like cars this song is telling that Bad.
*ALL OTHER BANDS* eat your hearts out! This is how it's done!
La plus belle version de BAD, U2 le plus grand groupe au monde 👍❤️🔥
