Music: RE: [u2tour] *U2 Set List: Frankfurt, Germany, August 10, 2010

I love "Bad" - it's my all time favorite live song and I've only had the
privilege of seeing U2 play it once in Chicago. To me it exceeds even Where
the Streets Have No Name.

I agree w/ a lot of what is being said. Anybody remember a song called
"Bad"?
It only put them on the map after they killed it at Live-Aid.
