Is it true U2 was unhappy with their performance at Live Aid?

Quoting from “U2” by Mark Taylor: “Bono felt he had blown it, shot U2 in the head in front of the whole world. Back in Ireland, he just drove around for days, unable to communicate with anyone. He kept thinking about the millions dying of starvation and wondered what he was doing performing in something as banal as a rock ‘n’ roll band. “As he travelled around the Irish countryside, he met a sculptor, an older man who knew very little about music. Ironically, the man was working on a piece which he called “The Leap”, an attempt to reproduce the spirit of Live Aid through an image that U2 had themselves provided for him.
