Lyrics:
If you twist and turn away.
if you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.
Surrender, dislocate.
If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame.
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day.
To let it go and so to find away.
To let it go and so find away.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake, wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.
If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag.
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.
If I could, you know I would If I could, I would let it go.
This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
I'm wide awake,
I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no.

Quite arguably their greatest song, specifically this version. Perfection. Long live these Irish boys.
DEFINITELY! Love this version!! 🥰
Live aid ? its on here
@@legin3753 I don't think the Live Aid version is better than this one. It's more significant, iconic if you will, because it introduced the world to U2, but sound wise, no way. This is as clean as it gets and Bono's vocals are on another level.
I 1,000% agree. This is their greatest song ever, and this version is so amazing. There's a vastness to it that feels almost ethereal, and all of them are so tight musically at this moment in time. Truly a beautiful piece of music.
Every version of this is the best, what a song. Rotterdam 1990 is up there too
U2-The Unforgettable Fire Tour: Under Australian Skies-1984
I saw this tour in Australia and New Zealand: Perth, Sydney, Wellington, and Auckland! Great tour Great songs always concluded with 40 at the venues I saw. I still have my tour shirt!!!
One of the best bands by a mile. When us irish were looked at being backwards in the 80s these lads come out with music that is simply divine, intellectually deep and intelligent. There is and never will be anyone like them again. Truly special.
My favorite era of U2! Unforgettable Fire is such an amazing album! U2 were at their very best in the 80s!
Adams bass line is top! 👑 👑
So is Edge's guitar riff~
Adam Clayton does more at playing less than any other bassist in rock music. Period.
The young man shown at 3:09 is Greg Carroll. For those that don’t know, he was a young man originally from New Zealand they met on tour who was then tragically killed on a bike while working for the band. They wrote the song One Tree Hill for him.
Thanks for this information!
Motorcycle accident. He had become friends with the band, especially Bono. That's what he said in the interview about the song and the man
U2-The Unforgettable Fire Tour: Under Australian Skies-1984
I saw this tour in Australia and New Zealand: Perth, Sydney, Wellington, and Auckland! Great tour Great songs always concluded with 40 at the venues I saw. I still have my tour shirt!!!
I had heard Bono did the vocals for that track in one take.
My late husband played this song all the time when we first met. I like to remember him driving his 78 Pontiac Tans Am listening to this song. RIP my love. Keep on cruising in your TA!
My sorrows to you.x
I bought ‘The unforgettable fire’ on vinyl in 1984 and this song blew me away then and still does today! I’m 65 and not heard this for many years! This is the first time I’ve seen this live version and I think I’m on about the 5th repeat…..just magical….Wooohooo!!! 😎🤩
My favorite song of all time. U2 managed to make it into a bottomless pit of versions so you can always find some new angles to it. Bad is immortal. Bad will be in my heart until the very end.

Like the different guitar riffs for each set of "hoo hoo"'s on each live version.

This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
That's my fav part of the song... Oh this was such a huge tune in the 80s
For me, the beauty of this song is the way that Clayton and Mullins keep the pace, driving the song along with a wall of sound, it allows the Edge to take over and then hold back coming and going fading in, fading out, The Edge and Bono take it in turns to headline the song, all the while the bass and drum giving the song relentless energy, this is pure gold, and a trio of Live Aid highlights, along with Bowies Heroes and the We will Rock You/We are the Champions finale by Queen
But you know this isn't Live Aid, right? Wish they had done it this well at Live Aid, but alas...
@@LrngMn Yes, I know it's not Live Aid, there is no way that any artist could be a part of a hastily put-together show and be able to tailor the limited practice time to suit their music and be happy with the recording, Live Aid was not for the music connoisseurs, it was never intended to be that.
The point I am making is this song well and truly put U2 on the map at Live Aid, and was, for me, one of three stand-out performances that day.
This particular performance of Bad is exceptional.
I've always felt that this song is a prayer for someone to find an internal peace they have been looking for without much success. It speaks to them on a level of compassion and understanding, with an undertone of desperation that this prayer will be answered.
It was this aspect of U2 that made me look deeper into my Catholic background, and to find the deeper meanings of my faith in God.
in the live in Dortmund 1984 concert he explains it was written for his friend who saw himself to a drug called heroin, and wrote it for himself.
Beautifully put.
Very well written bro! I ❤️ U2
Amen
Goosebumps, even in 2021. What. A. Song
Yes every time ..
Goosebumps and a lump in my throat every time I hear or see this ❤️.
YES!!!!!
EVERY TIME
Absolutely 💯
Best song ever written. Saved my life more than once.
Fantastic.
RIP Greg Carroll, he was so dedicated
For those that knew him he was a true friend.
@@Jonokeefe924 Knew*
@@justincredible. you are :-)
Bono's "Wide awake" line, the first time he goes high, is consistently the best he's ever hit it in my opinion. And this is coming from a guy who sat and listened to this song for two hours straight haha! I'm floored every time I hear it.
I love this song, no matter what year it is.
It is Epic and Timeless.
It is indeed
Me too.
Eu nunca tinha ouvido esta música.
It's eternal...
Quite possiblity the best song ever written and played!!
After 38 years it still gives me the chills. Up till this day it's a song you can picture in every schred off time. So fulfilling your mind and soul 💋♥️
this is U2s best. one of the great concert songs of all time. always blows the roof off!
Me and the wife were there, Dave Hill from Slade was sat in front of us, it was a brilliant night.
Wow!
Brilliant it was i say. Most enjoyable U2
very lucky guy!
You're very very lucky man!
I wish I was alive in the 80s
One of the most magnificent pieces of music ever written. This composition easily sits aside the works of the great masters of western art music.
One of my U2 top 3 songs of all time!!!!!!
I think this is my favourite u2 song. So many other contenders but this is the song that got me into u2 who to me are the greatest band ever and by a long way
This was my favourite U2 song until With or Without you was released... I think Bad may be in my top 3 as well
@@xTheFly it would be hard to choose the number one
Easily #1 in my books. Raw power and emotion that can't be matched.
@@VitoC. yeah, IT's a great song!!!! How Bono hits that C5 it's amazing
U2 best band of all time, in my opinion. Best band that plays live
This song makes me cry often. It is so stunning, especially this performance
Right ? In tears listening to this on repeat
Ditto @@golooraam9602
Christopher age 44 and listener since just a little boy. This might be my favorite song since my parents divorce at 12, but they are the only band who makes me cry or even laugh with every song from the best band in history🎉
I live in Oregon City
I bought this album "Wide Awake in America" at a CD shop while I'm on a business trip to the US. I love this video which captures stage staff. It brings me to the stage side even now.
The best U2 song. Ever. They rarely play this song on the radio in the US ☹️
From what I gather it was always on US radio back then. WAIA was a big seller even though it was technically an import
This is by far my most played track, it's the best version of this song and really nails their magic, especially in that era
This one performance for me is U2 at their peak and has over the years become my absolute favourite of theirs. Larry guiding, Adam driving, Edge flying and Bono soaring.
My favourite U2 song! And it was nice to see Greg Carroll. Gone too soon.

U2 loves their roadies! They get close ups in this vid!
It's as if you've already heard the music in your heart, and then they retrieve it for you.
It is this song that made my introduction to U2 so memorable and has kept them in my heart for 40 years.
U2; The soundtrack to my live. When I grew up (musically) I was discovering U2 (early 80's) This was one of the (version of this) songs that really made me fall in love with U2 like no other band at that time and since!
I saw them in Jacksonville during US leg of this tour. I miss the 80's.
Close your eyes and listen to this song.
omg...
Smoothest voice of all time! ANd the band aint half bad too. Loved U2 since 7th grade 54 now and this song is stronger than ever! Thanks Gents!
Absolutely one of my favourite songs from U2 especially all the memories at age 50 now!
Me too 🥳
@@yankeeladee02 me three at 47 years old
Me also at 49!!
Me too at 48!
39.. years young this Song is.
BAD... Not commercially known a freakin bloody Brilliant tune,, with a Dash of Poetry! "Isolation", "desolation"... "Salvation"
2021 and beyond still the biggest band on earth
Such a brilliant song like no other from U2. Larry and Adam really drive this song with rhythm on bass and drums, edge and Bono just add the all important dash of perfection and brilliance
Best u2 song , not a week that i dont listen to this
Without doubt the best version. I saw them at the NEC in 87. Amazing times.
Been playing this today. It strikes me every time, that old Dave can get more melody and music with two strings and a single repeat than I could muster in a lifetime 😂
This song NEVER stops being great.
If i can only sing even just a decent version of this epic of epicness song!! There’s still time… Long live these Irish lads.
This is the best fucking U2 song to me.
Every time I hear it, I would fucking tear up...
I love all the old U2 stuff from their 1st album "Boy" to "Rattle and Hum".....so emotional, raw, and edgy.
Bad. Una de las canciones más grandiosas de la historia de U2!
Melhor banda, sempre ❤️🇧🇷
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Juts one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our last video. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ruclips.net/video/ufF4gUA_6rQ/видео.html
concordo viu u2 e vida love u2
They cut out soooo so much from their modern renditions of this song, including whole entire second verse etc. Nice to see it again here, complete.
There was nothing like that during those days. This is such an underrated drummer and a guitar player. WTF.
Thank you. I needed this song today.
ditto
Goose bumps such an anthem. Meaningful song
This brings back so many emotions of growing up, watching this on VHS constantly. Bono's passion just gets me every time, still does today, would love U2 to release this as a whole concert. One day hopefully.
This song put U2 on the road to fame . The best song and tone Love them and always will Alan !!!!!
A great version of a great song !!
Wow I saw them at Perth concert hall in 85 as a 15 year old. It was the first time I'd heard bad and after listening to this song I had goosebumps all over again 😊 after the concert I got to meet with Bono and thank him for the unforgettable performance
Like a lot of people at the time, I was 15 as well when U2's music turned my head in the most radical way.
It was The Edge's guitar sound that took me out of the heavy metal phase I was engaged in.
Which I loved for a time.
Iron Maiden being in the top 3.
I noticed that one of the main reasons The Edge's guitar work grabbed my attention was that he was in E flat and sometimes a whole step down from concert pitch.
Especially "11 O Clock Tick Tock" from Red Rocks.
It gave it more color and ambience that I never paid attention to up to that point.
Even his piano playing had a landscape of it's own.
October, New Year's Day, Stranger In A Strange Land, Scarlett, and many others are stunningly beautiful.
This version of Bad still makes me stop what I'm doing and pay close attention.
And it's nothing complex at all... just shifting from A to D.
Adam's bass lines still give me goosebumps.
I kind of dropped out a bit after The Joshua Tree.
appreciated them afterwards but didn't hone in as close as I did with Boy up to Joshua Tree.
Seen them 3 times on Achtung tour 2 in US and 1 time in Berlin. Still so amazing!
Simplesmente linda essa música,ainda hoje em pleno 2022 ainda não existe outra banda como o U2.
Iiio00000
Grande U2, maior banda de todos os tempos
Isso sim é música, acompanho o U2 desde os 18 anos, hoje estou com 38 anos e eles ainda são minha banda preferida.
Concordo plenamente!
@@MarcusVinicius-dp1bm tenho 50 na porta dos 51 anos e ouço desde 1982. Melhor Banda, the best!
what a rage , passion, blood.
Bad, a minha música preferida do U2 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks, this the version I've been trying to find. Bono, man we love you, the Spirit working through you.
One of my favorites. I run and this song always gets me going. My pace slowly gets faster and really hits a great stride at the chorus.
What a Vocal!! In His Prime... And has That True Powerful vocal! He always did keep his vocals!
This live version of this classic to me is the definitive version of this track, it has it all, it's truly emotionaly charged if you know what the song is about. And it's audio origin is 24 track analog tape, Not digital, which is why it sounds fucking awesome. it beats the living shit out of the album version all day every day.
Grew up with U2 in Dublin. Served them beers at a couple of the scruffiest kips you could ever imagine long before they were famous. Have seen them tons of times since, last time in Toronto a decade ago. For me, this is not only their best song ever about the darker side of Dublin back then, but their finest raw, gut wrenching performance ever. Sung the way it was intended to be heard, this is their true rock masterpiece when they used to sing about important social issues, long before they went globally commercial.
This song is my ALL TIME FAVORITE U2 song!! The bells in the beginning..then the bass drum pounding out the beat...love it!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Quando Escuto U2 Estou Prologando Minha Vida❤️
one of the beautfiul things about the older days is the theres no wireless setups people were grafting so hard to make sure artists dont get tangled on wires and makin sure audiences dont grab monitoring and such they are the the goats as well
Brilliant and timeless. As beautiful as the first time I heard it. Thank you, U2!
Such a gorgeous slow-burning song. With an altar call at the end for the fans.
Esperando o próximo show no Brasil! 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
Just awesome!!!!
There is not a greater song than this in history.
I love me some 80's U2. HOWEVER...Melanie's Laydown, live with a gospel choir, on a Dutch TV show tops all!! Look it up.
good music never gets old.....am 23 again,one of the best bands in the world....thank you
What a beautiful video...U2 is really great...this album and especially this song marks the perfect transition between the post-punk and protest music of the Boy and War albums to the spiritualized music of the Joshua Tree era... the way was open for U2 to become the biggest band of the 80s...
Well articulated. "TUF" album is an amazing album. Saw U2 in late September 1984 in Australia. Everyone knew then they were seemingly destined for greater things based on the quantum leap from "War" to "TUF". And live they were really something special. And yes they played "Bad" that night.
one of the finest songs ever released, the beginning of a beautiful powerful collaboration with Mr Eno and Mr Lanois on 2 of the finest albums in history!!!
When music was real music!
U2 Sing 🎶 So Many Meaningful Song's and "Bad" is One Of Them!
I remember getting this on a cassette... Wide Awake In America (I think) with a live version of A Sort of Homecoming and a couple of other tracks. After Blood Red Sky I didn't think any live U2 could blow me away more than it had, but this version of Bad did it. It showed they had a lot of growing still to do and didn't they do it well? The 80's were great years to be a U2 fan and while I wish they'd made some different decisions in the years since, they are still an incredible rock band but I'll always say from around 83 to the end of the Joshua Tree tour were their absolute live zenith.
The 80s were the golden decade of music, bands emerged with great international successes that are still successful today, if you agree with me, give it a like and let's enjoy this U2 success 😎
Em 1987 eu tinha sete anos e me encantei por vocês ouvindo With Or without you! Daquele dia em diante eu comecei a ouvir U2...minha vida passa pelo U2! Escuto U2 todo dia.Desejo q vocês tenham vida longa...pra mim U2 é a melhor banda do mundo!! E assim q puder venha pra São Paulo/ Brasil
U2’s best song.
Fucking great .....!!! What a blessing to see these guys perform....!!!
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame
If I could through myself
Set your spirit free, I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so, fade away
Wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If I could, you know I would, if I could, I would
Let it go
This desperation
Dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
Oh now, and so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
Incredible perfomance, epic video and the best era. Now Wire video HD please!!!
Anybody from Dublin remember this?? Every time I drive through the city I hum this . God bless "2U.......................
Bono's voice... I can't... DAMN!
This band - and in particular, this one song - was transformative for me. The creativity, energy and powerful range was truly inspiring at a key point in my young life.
Besides this stellar version of BAD, the one at Live Aid was what cemented this supergroup to a new level of awesomeness! Still, this version is my favorite and it's what got me hooked on them,... well, OK, as did everything else they put out before and on Unforgettable Fire album and on JT.
SANTO GRIAL DEL ROCK GRACIAS BONO POR TUS ARTES CLASICOS DESDE PERU
I love you U2 always!!!! 🎸 🎸
SO LET IT GO...... if song comes out today Nov.2023, yup it's still a #1 hit.
No lemons, no TVs, no Trabant’s, no Mephisto, no spider stage, no barricage, no augmented reality app experience...just incredible songs
No Mcdonald's golden arch either
Best version ever
When the world was good, the sky was blue and the sea had no memory....
U2,,,,,at their best unforgettable fire
great songs great band great singer love this they rock.
the best days of my life. hopefully yours too.
we need a wire live version hd
I second that !!
Seriously. If anyone could find that and remaster it we would be a happy bunch. Goodness. Too bad they didn't do an Unforgettable Fire tour like The Joshua Tree 30th tour. That would have been grand if they would have had Eno and Lanois with some strings accompany them...a lad can dream.
