    I think their first international hit was Pride. It succeded everywhere. In fact, on the Live Aid show (1985-07-13), Pride was meant to be the central hit of the 3-songs concert. Although we all know what happened with Bad

    I think SBS got some pretty extensive coverage but I take your point Pride was meant to finish off the 'set', but the chance to extend Bad to 12+ minutes seemed to appeal to Bono lol...

    , they realized a beautiful improvised second song is better than a routine planned third one.

    That and mullet boy, felt the need to go for a little walk.

    [question re. Pride]


    It hasn't, but you're right in that the times it HASN'T been played are rare. Some Elevation gigs, and perhaps a Lovetown show or two if I'm thinking right...

    Faraway so close

    God, i hate that song now. I really can't stomach anything but the album version, they've overplayed it and its formation isn't endurable like streets, its rusting.
