This version includes prerecorded rhythm tracks. There are no other snippets of songs on this version for copyright reasons. Three other versions of "Bad" have been officially released by the band. An edit of the version from The Unforgettable Fire appears on The Best of 1980–1990; with the exception of the hidden version of "October", "Bad" is the only non-single to appear on the compilation. In addition to the live performance included on Wide Awake in America, a live version from 1987's Joshua Tree Tour appears in the rockumentary Rattle and Hum and a version from 2001's Elevation Tour appears in the concert film Elevation 2001: Live from Boston (with a snippet of "40" at the end and therefore credited as "Bad / '40'"). For the release of the 2004 digital box set The Complete U2, another live version of "Bad" was included on the live album Live from the Point Depot.
