Description

In part two of our look at the Unforgettable Fire era, we talk about the band's change of approach on stage in contrast to the War Tour. It all leads up to Live Aid and the band's now iconic 12 minute performance of "Bad" highlighted by Bono leaping from the stage for a connecting moment. It made for great TV but the band thought Bono had blown it. He hadn't.

Into the Into the Heart of U2 Podcast is the most comprehensive dive into the history of U2 as told by folks who were there while it happened. Co-hosts, author and musician Bill See, and Melody Muraca, the founder of one of the first U2 Fanzines in the U.S., go through U2's career album by album and tour by tour, and the perception of U2 in cultural consciousness. They still care about the band, but they're concerned about their legacy. So, they're going to try and get to the bottom of whether U2 is one of the greats of all time or are the haters right after all.
