This performance was extra special because it was the last concert of the Lovetown tour. U2 knew it was an end of an era and they even thought it could have been the end of U2 if they could not have come up with a new sound. Which is why they were giving it all there all as if it were there last ever concert. Amazing performance!

it is without question the best (means if it was sung earnestly) song ever written, It gives me 'goose bumps'. I met the band in 1993 in scotland in august 1993.The most respectful in the band was Adam Clayton. He met myself and friend as if we were "normal people'. the drummer had a high opinion of himself and Edge was out on Loch Lomond; it was his birthday so he was taking a ride. BONO was very approachable but a bit sarcastic. The Lisbon Lions had given us tickets for the concert XX

It was originally supposed to end with the New Year's Eve show. Bono had some serious voice trouble at the 1989-12-18 show in Amsterdam, causing them to cancel the rest of the shows that week. So, they rescheduled for Rotterdam, where they played the final Lovetown gigs. Four dates in January 1990, the 5th, 6th, 9th and 10th. Then it was off to Germany to "dream it all up again"...

Everything about this version is magic. Bono lets it all out and the "unscripted" part is just amazing from Bono. After he leaves the stage the pure power of U2:s music is unleashed, just listen to the beauty of The Edges guitar, the power in Larrys drumming is awesome and some of the best drumming Larry has ever done in Bad. I have heard hundreds of live versions of Bad, Larrys drumming has never been any better. And Adam, what can you say? The glue that keeps it together. The best song ever written but not the original. The song evolved to something really special during the live shows and had it's peak between 90-93. But Bad is the best live song even to this day when it's played by the band. They know it's something very special with this song, Bono has said so himself. A song about addiction, any addiction but Bono wrote it with heroin in mind. He lost one of his best friends to heroin and other friends of the band got hooked on heroin during the heroin epidemic in Dublin during the 80:s. Bono wrote the song for them but felt the original wasn't finished so they finished it during the live performances the years that followed.

It must have been such a rush for the band to feel the interaction with the crowd. Having seen them many times (first time War tour in 1983 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver) I have experienced a few of those nights that just feel extra-special.
