ne me quitte pas

someone emailed me last week looking for a good live version of bad, the song by, ummmm, u2. so i was, like, well, how do you pick one? i'll pick two or three. and then i realized, how do you pick two or three? so, this zip file ended up with nine.

[zip] nine live versions of bad
.
syracuse 1987, live aid 1985, rattle and hum dvd rip, stockholm 1992, boston 2001 dvd rip, chile 1998, cleveland 2001, dortmund 1984, sydney 1989.

i really really like the 1984 dortmund version. the whole 1984 dortmund set is awesome quality: get it here

i didn't put this one below on the zip because it is not a 5/5 audio quality, more like 3/5. but it has something none of the others do - the bono parlezing francais. i'm gonna (not) surprise you by saying: that is HOT.

[mp3] bad (ne me quitte pas) - u2

live at man ray, paris, 2000, all that you can't leave behind promo show.

1990-01-10 - Rotterdam is all you need. Simply perfect in every way

Funny, I was just thinking how it's hard to find live versions of Bad that live up to the intensity and subtle perfection of the studio version. And the Dortmund stuff is really great. Do you by any chance have other audio versions of the Boston DVD...such as New York and The Fly??
