I used to LOVE Hothouse Flowers. Still really like their Home CD.

ditto

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

i checked limewire.

nothing.

 

[Super Yo]

nothing yet ?

No mp3 in Ireland ?

 

[Varitek]

And I thought u2start would have the RTE audio by now.

The video for the song is on U2.com and YouTube. If you want the mp3, just capture the audio from them (most likely in wav format) and convert it to mp3 format. It might not be the best, but I imagine the quality being similar to that on iTunes.

It's a lot worse than iTunes.

There's now a stream of the live version on rte.ie, and the audio is actually quite good.

I've captured it, but I haven't had a chance to convert it to an MP3 yet. Is it kosher to post a link to this here?

 

[kellyahern]

For the live version, I don't see why not

I found a way to download it legally without being in Ireland.
I managed to download it in Germany.

I used this link:
http://umusic.ie/artists/info.php?cat=u&ID=238

There's a link Recent Releases + Buy Album

I just proceeded via this link to 7digital.com, registered with my international email address and paid via paypal.

I was able to download the song and play it on my computer. It's a licensed and protected file. You can play it on 3 Computers.

It's fine for me to pay for it, as long as I can get it. It's for cancer charity after all.

I hope it works for you as well.

^^

Awesome, thanks for the link!! I was able to buy it and paid via paypal also.

 

[Danny Boy]

light, you rock!

Best. Backdoor. Ever.

I've had a 7digital account for years, and I just used my old account and paid with a US credit card.

 

[bonocomet]

I've had an account there for years too... I bought the BandAid songs there years ago.
Thanks light

Thanks in advance!!1

 

[fca780]

asking again, no one sent me the studio version (not the audio-rip) last time... fernando780 AT yahoo.com PLEASE!!!
my paypal card didn't work at that site btw...

 

[abelives]

Me neither, I was more into watching everyone sing. Nice tribute, and it looked like Bono was trying to reach Sinead's hand.

My thoughts were

1) Shane McGowan is still alive ? and

2) Who are the singers singing the versess besides Bono and McGowan ?

Sorry if someone's already answered this. . .

Damien Dempsey sings the verse with "time and again it has proved to be right"

The Academy-Award Winning Glen Hansard sings the last verse via satellite in the studio video (which Shane takes over on the Late Late Show)

[senrab]

Thanks LC

 

[lady luck]

where can I find the lyrics?

 

[zuropa_fit]

The one I found on U2start is the studio version. Am I looking in the wrong place?

 

[last unicorn]

^ I think you're right, I was wondering about that, too, because it's titled as Live version from RTE.

 

[senrab]

Check your e-mails. A few got thrown back because the file was still too large (I originally sent the studio and live versions, but sent a second with just the studio version). Sorry
