I knew this was concert featured one of the (in)famous breakdowns of the Bad's synth... It's funny to hear but it's even funnier to read xD

[Bono says]

We come from Ireland, Dublin City Ireland. And the next time you're in DUblin you can ask me

Dublin city is not always a fair city. In fact sometimes it's an unfair city.

There's good and bad in every city.

Thank you!

[Cheers]

This is "Bad"

[Sequencer starts]

[Sequencer malfunctions plays fast and high, feedback starts]

This is very Bad!

[Crew comes onto stage]

If we all get back togther

It's really great to be back in Los Angeles

[Crowd]

Well now you know why we don't break down so much, because I don't tell very good jokes. Actually there was this sandwich that went into a bar...

Right, so this swndwich goes intoa bar, and eases his way

past a few pork pies and steps up to the waiter and says, "Waiter can I have a pint of Guinness?" He says, "No, I'm sorry, we don't serve sandwiches"

[Crowd sighs" Oh [Sequencer starts]

The gentelman with the spectacles, can we have him to the stage

And I was going

Well here's the best microphone stand in teh world

[Audience members are invited onstage]

[Crowd]

[Someone spits]

[Crowd laughs]

Oh shit, it's a real bummer when they're tall

[Martin comes on stage and gives Bono a bear hug]

[Bono]

All right, sunshine, I'll tell you whatseeing as you're the heighth you are, you can do the rest of this on your knees, All right hold on

You got a joke

What's your name sir

This is Martin

I've always wanted to meet you Martin, how are you doing

Look everyone was up for picking

Martin, Martin, that's not funny.

[Martin]

OK! I'll tell a joke, what's the biggest joke in Great Britain?

[People yell different stuff]

Wham!

[Bono]

Well, seeing as the concert is broken down, let's play something for the day. You know any Beatles' songs.......

[Crowd]

Edge?

[Bono]

What's that you want them to play... they want you to play that song "Rain"

["Rain" starts on Acoustic]

The rain comes

They dip

I might as well be dead

When the rain comes

[Clapping]

When the rain comes

When the sun shines

Slip into the shade

When the sun shines

When the sun shines

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain

I don't mind

Hey!

[Bridge]

When the rain comes

THey run and

Slip into the shade

When the rain comes

When the rain comes

When the sun shines

S

Slip and all day

When the sun shines

When the sun shines

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain

I don't know

[Outro]

I get so high

[Segues into Dylan's A Hard Day's Rain is Gonna Fall]

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

And it's a hard gonna fall

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

And it's a hard

Gonna fall

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain
