Edge is glowing at the prospect of singing a song for us. Or maybe Sydney just has really fucked up water.

Argh, Pirate Edge.

YouTube - U2 All Along the Watchtower Lovetown Tour

also, if you watch this clip there are segments in the clip from other than all along the watch tower, such as:

-bono on stage with the girls, waiving the sign around
-bono shining light on edge during btbs solo
-bono on acoustic guitar, im guessing ishfwilf

so they must have the whole show taped.

I find the editing a bit hard to watch now on this.. it's too random and quite irritating.

I will agree with you on that.

Someone ALWAYS has to talk over Edge, it never fails. I would have much preferred to hear VDL in its entirety here but it still rules.

Why is pirate edge glowing like Obi Wan Kenobi?

Apparently there was a two hour documentary that aired in Australia, with a shorter half-hour doc shown elsewhere around the world.

"Desire" was cut from the shorter documentary too:

YouTube - U2 - Desire Live in Sydney [HD - High Quality] Lovetown Tour

With these clips added back in, it would be a pretty stinking good doc:
All I Want is You
Desire
All Along the Watchtower
Van Diemen's Land
Hawkmoon
God Part II
When Love Comes to Town
Love Rescue Me

This is a pretty great version of "All I Want is You":

The Uk version had Desire, it was incredible!! The only song missing was VDL, this is the first time I've seen it.

 

[nathan1977]

You're right -- for some reason I confused "All I want is You" with "Love rescue Me"...

Great documentary, I wish they'd release this 2hr version

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Some of the 'out and about' footage spliced in there is pretty funny. U2 using public transport? THAT is a rare sight.

 

[david]

The 2 hour documentary is like a weird, glowing light hearted sequel to Rattle and Hum.

didnt early this year bono and edge hit the train becuse the snow?

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah when they flew back from the Australian Tour they had to fly into Shannon or Cork because Dublin airport was closed. They took the train back.

I would pay good money to have this documentary be the bonus DVD on a Rattle and Hum remaster.

Hahaha

He was suppose to be put in at the end of "Return Of The Jedi" but Lucas changed his mind because SOA wasn't released.

 

[AndrewCowley]

Seriously folks, take away all the stupid interview footage and this is some of the best ever U2 live footage. Hope they release it some day. The whole show will have been captured. Would love to see that.

It was offered to collectors a few years ago for a large sum of money, apparently... From what I know the whole pro shot concert exists. Whether or not it's "out there" though is open to debate...

It's mine and many other fan's Holy Grail!
