“A Sort of Homecoming” was not actually recorded live, but during a sound check prior to U2’s show at London’s Wembley Arena on November 15, 1984. The sound of the crowd was added later. “Bad” was recorded at U2’s show November 12, 1984 in Birmingham, England. During this live version, Edge misplayed the very last guitar note of the song but the band decided to use the song anyway. The last note was “fixed” during mixing of the EP.
