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 Shh [Audience members are invited onstage] [Crowd] Here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go here we go Here we go Here we go [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 I don't mind [Ends] [52 minutes] Thank you. [Someone yells "Twilight" This is, I hope an d I pray A song that sounds like..Bad [Bad sequencer starts] [Bad sequencer breaks down again][Scattered laughs] Anyone know anymore jokes? [Bad starts without sequencer, guitar and drum sticks]
