I’m gonna nominate a song that’s not on the album but that’s in the film : Bad.
I’ve seen tons of people praising the R&H version of Bad. I think it stands amongst the worst. Bono’s performance is really, really bad.
Agreed, but that's kinda true (by extension) of most of the B&W footage, no? Why they chose to tape the final leg of the tour when his voice was shot is anyone's guess (but they did the same thing for the Rose Bowl show on 360).
I guess they couldn’t have predicted Bono would be in such a bad shape. If they greenlit the movie sometime during spring or summer, he sounded great.
Even for the infamous « 5 songs in 5 hours » session at Sun Studios, Bono’s voice didn’t last. He sounds awful on « Jesus Christ » and I’m pretty sure they never released « She’s a Mystery to me » because it was so bad.
I’ll add Sydney 1993 to the list. Why they chose to shoot the tour at the very last moment is beyond me.
The Outside Broadcast shows from 1992 were so much better.
