Bad during 85/87 was epic ...then was just good IMO

Personally i've always loved Lovetown performances the most. Bono's vocals were fantastic and unlike previous tours he could actually do the falsetto parts really well. Vocally i think Lovetown is where Bad was at its peak.

The best versions that I remember are from 1985..I saw the band 5 times on the UF tour...and I believe the 2 best were from Hartford 04.23.85 and NYC 04.01.85...they were long classics versions...

I think no matter what it has to be from the UF tour. Bono's voice was so raw and limitless in that era. It wasn't yet perfected and he was still playing with his limitations, so there are performances where he misses it but some where he just flies like he never has before.

There are definitely a few on other tours that come close though. Some on ZooTV, Santiago Popmart is up there in emotion, not so much power, and the same goes for subsequent tours.
