Rattle and Hum - the full length motion picture on videocassette

[Ellay]

Oh yes, that was the catchy title.


I hadn't watched it for years, but last night decided to, and was left a bit perplexed..

It claims to feature 9 songs that weren't included on the album, including GLORIA, between EXIT and SHFWILF

Am I being daft or is it not on there?

A snippet in Exit perhaps, but if so i can't hear it, and why would they claim that as an extra track!?

 

[Aardvark747]

A snippet from Van Morrison's Gloria is what i've always assumed they meant. Tho seeing as U2 have a song called Gloria too, it is a little misleading.
Not that it would stop me from buying it of course!

 

[aussiedge]

its just a snippet. the film is great

 

[Ellay]

It's a musical journey

 

[Axver]

The advertising is a bit sneaky. It really should read: Exit / Van Morrison's Gloria (snippet).

 

[Ellay]

What makes me laugh is that they make this big thing of how the video has extra songs on it, but then they take off songs that WERE on the album, ie God Part II

 

[Axver]

Well, God Part II hadn't been played live at that point. It debuted live on 21 September 1989, about ten months AFTER the RAH movie was released in November 1988.

 

[Ellay]

That I didn't know.


Though they could have put a studio rehearsal performance on I suppose

Jeez Axver you really know some stuff! Good work

I think we should have a new forum called "test Axver!"

 

[Achtung Joshua!]

They should not have put that in print seeing as they only do around 10 seconds of it at the end anyway

 

[Ellay]

There should also be a warning on the cover that Bono really minces around the whole time throughout the video.

You're too kind. My son says he "swishes."

 

[MumblingBono]

A lot of emotion there young man, that's all right

I had a similar problem earlier whereby if I made that comment I'd be out the door.

Funny nonetheless!

I just spend too much time on setlist sites and have an uncanny knack for remembering things.

For the record, all of the new RAH songs weren't performed live in 1987 when the film was made, except for When Love Comes To Town. They could've done a studio performance of maybe one other RAH song for the video like with Desire and Angel Of Harlem, though.

Hey I got a question for anyone who knows the answer!!! Who was Larry talking to when he said that?
My guess is Adam or Edge, but I am not sure???
