Wide Awake In Buenos Aires

154

'Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame...'

In the canon of legendary U2 songs, 'Bad', from 1984's The Unforgettable Fire, has a special place.

On U2360° it's appearance has been rare, unpredictable... and breathtaking. So it was in the half-light and rain of Buenos Aires on April 3rd, 2011, when we captured this performance for our U2.com subscribers.

My first U2 exposure

First impressions go a long way. 27 yrs ago a friend played me the WAIA version of BAD which got me hooked for lack of a better word, luckily for me it got me hooked to the greatest band of my generation

Amazing song

This song is really beautiful because the lyrics are very strong, the lyrics talk about the problem of the drugs and that stuff.I think the lyrics of this song are very important. I cry of emotion each time that am hear this song, this song is one of my favorite songs of all time. WIDE AWAKE!!.

Blu Ray Release Please

Not asking for another freebie for members only, but a full length concert on Blu Ray in time for Christmas 2012. I know, I know... Rose Bowl. But the show changed since then, and it'd be so cool to see a release that reflects the metamorphosis of 360.

Project Rarities

So not fade away!! WIDE AWAKE!!! I'm no sleeping... SO CRUEL We crossed the line.. Who pushed who over. Oh love, you say in love there are no rules. You're so cruel. WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD So I try to be like you, to feel it like you do. But without you it's no use, I can't see what you see. PROMENADE Oh, tell me, Cherry you dance with me Up through the spiral staircase to the higher ground. ACROBAT And I must be an acrobat, to talk like this and act like that. So don't let the bastards grind you down. So wish these songs were played as well

This is the boys finest moment. They've made some great music before and since, but this is the pinnacle

Best Song Ever!!!!!!!

I remember the first time i heard Bad live in 1985, and still sounds as great now as it did then .

Bad

This has always been a favorite for me. It captures the desperation of living with chronic physical illness and deep depression (esp in teens). Thank you.

gregjackson93 - 17 May, 2012

Simple and Beautiful

This song is really special to me. A guy played it in the parking lot at my high school years ago and everybody just stopped and listened. It was a moment out of a movie. Masterful.

Always takes me back!!

So love BAD, always takes me back to Live Aid...Brilliant......

One of the best

Terrific song - in my top 5. Pity the song wasn't matched by the quality of the recording and sound. U2 fans are more discerning. It's why we're U2 fans.

NY, USA U2 fan - 20 February, 2012

good thing he can sing

Love that Bono let's the boys music shine through with some rare silence, but I appreciate all of his in concert improvisations compared to his guitar playing..........

Zoo TV

Love Bad, never forget looking around Knickerbocker Arena looking for my buddy Len when they played his favorite song. It was surreal.

connorailish - 30 January, 2012

BAD is always good!

This song is as timeless as it is brilliant. The epitome of U2, this is and has always been my Favorite song.

Unforgettable

I was there, every Buenos Aires night. When Bad arrived i just couldn't stop laughing. It was the joy of those incredible U2 songs that will last forever. Long live U2 !!! Sebastian

beeblebrox - 19 January, 2012
