No one sounded like U2. They brought unique sounds, power and subject matter to their music. They influenced so many bands that followed that is hard to appreciate now the influence they have had.
Great song , a song written by Bono about the Heroin problem in Dublin in the 80’s The version of this at Live Aid propelled U2 into Being a huge global rock band. Ruby Tuesday is a Rolling Stones song . Bono has always liked to throw snippets of other artists songs in live versions of U2 songs.
Unless I’m mistaken, this performance comes from their tour documentary film called Rattle and Hum. Great behind the scenes interviews. You should watch it and I think you’ll appreciate the band more.
Not fade away, Ruby Tuesday, Sympathy for the devil all Rolling Stones songs Bono manages to get into a song about Heroin addiction in Dublin! amazing one of their best.
Dude, you can call these guys cheese or whatever but looking back, what performers these guys are! Especially Bono, total rock stars! Oh btw Ruby Tuesday was a Rolling Stones Song, so was the other one about "Pleased to meet you". Man, Bono was a freaking rock star!
"Wide awake!" That line lent itself to the name of a platinum selling EP the band released in 1985, Wide Awake in America, that featured a live version of "Bad", but this version looks to be from their Joshua Tree Tour. "Wide awake!" The song was clearly from the time before the reactionary backlash to wokeness. Heh. I was lucky enough to see U2 in concert three times back in the eighties, the first time during their Unforgettable Fire Tour in support of the album this song is from. For another live banger from them, also check out "Bullet the Blue Sky" from Rattle and Hum. PS. "Ruby Tuesday" is a classic Rolling Stones song.
At the end the Ruby Tuesday…Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name were excerpts from Rolling Stones songs “Ruby Tuesday” and “Sympathy for the Devil”.
Ummm… am I the only person to say that this version is completely omitting the falsetto parts! Like the most iconic part of the entire thing?! Strange I never realized until now. 😂
Great song. Album version is a bit different but just as great. Ruby tuesday and please to meet you are from 2 different rolling stones songs he added for the live shows. There are live performances of Bad thatvi feel are better than this- this is from their movie Rattle and Hum.
personally, pre-Joshua Tree U2 was incomparable and the pinnacle of their alternative post-punk cutting edge appeal to me. Their sound soon devolved and was overcome by bluesy Americana/90's rock and roll influences afterwards.

A most underrated song by the greatest band from the 1980s. Thank you 😊
And 90’s :)
Their performance of this song at Live Aid is legendary. It’s up there with Queen’s Live Aid performance.

You are not mistaking ;-)
"goodbye ruby Tuesday" is a song by Rolling stones/melanie and the "Please to meet you' part is from the Rolling stones song "sympathy for the devil"
Thank you, Brad!! Great song and live version! About heroin addiction!

Look for Sunday bloody Sunday from the rattle and hum movie.

This Video is from the rattle and hum DVD/Video. It's Not on the Album released.
Oh man I didn't know you had your own channel so just now so sorry I'm late to the party but I'm at the party now
Ummm… am I the only person to say that this version is completely omitting the falsetto parts! Like the most iconic part of the entire thing?! Strange I never realized until now. 😂
At this point of the tour, Bono's voice was so cooked that he couldn't hit those notes anymore.
Great song. Album version is a bit different but just as great. Ruby tuesday and please to meet you are from 2 different rolling stones songs he added for the live shows.

Man where have you been? I haven't seen you in like a hundred years!
The live version of this song is better.
This is live…
@@nianfiedler9691 I meant specifically the version "Bad Live" from the album Wide Awake in America.
I always like the studio version with the sound of the symbol going from one ear to the other!
