Letterman I always loved. And still do. Good to see him.
__________________I enjoyed seeing the U2 band, Bono, The Edge and of course Glen Hansard and his baby blues. What I love is that Bono calls him The Edge and I'm like does he really call him that in private or is he like "Dave! Come on, Dave!!!!" |

I really enjoyed it, but with so much to cover - separate Bono and Edge interviews about the band's history and SOS, David Letterman travelogue, larger context of the history of Ireland, plus concert performances and more - ultimately felt short and surface level (though to be expected really).

Yeah it is. Performances are good, interesting questions, some history stuff that wasn't quite known, Glen Hansard fanboying about the early days of the band. Letterman does a great job. Even people not stoked on this new collection will get lot out of it.

Wish the SBS on the album had the cello part you hear in this.

40 Foot Man
We came across this 40 foot man A colossus on our tiny island We nearly lost him up on Sandycove Strand But being swept away was part of his plan Oh, and the monster's not under the sea Oh, the monster's sitting next to me And he's not frightening He's not even biting His tongue's like lightning The 40 foot man It can take a stranger to see yourself An outside eye can be of great help He's only one, but he'll pop it right out He's a caring, sharing cyclops of this there's no doubt He's not that frightening He's not even biting His tongue's fast as lightening The 40 foot man Oh, what a wonderful discovery Oh, and I find we're laughing nervously He's not that frightening He's not even biting A tongue like lightening The 40 foot man The 40 foot man |

Interesting that they used R&H footage for this — maybe they remembered the film exists again?

What do you mean by clean? I've shared a zip of all the promo stuff that has it in it. Check the SOS discussion thread

Yes thanks for that, it's a great package! Your version of 40 Foot Man starts with some crowd noise, I guess I don't remember if that's how it was in the special or if you've just edited it like that to give the "soundtrack album" a continuous listening experience.

A Sort of Homecoming w David Letterman - Disney+
Quote:
It does run in for the fade in of the song. It’s quieter in the doco so I just leant in and made it a bit more obvious, because it annoyed me. I just figured if people wanted a cleaner version they can save one of the YouTube vids as an mp3. |

All good - just google YouTube to mp3 there’s a heap of online tools for converting - just paste the video url into the thing.

I just love how dark the vocal effects make EBW sound. It creates the “drop of acid” Bono talks about. The jeopardy that matches the lyric. The album version is too poppy. The piano version too dynamically flat. This creates a feeling like you’re trapped under the water and the waves keep crashing over you and stop you from breaking through. Fucking love it.

I enjoyed this, although I've never cared for David Letterman particularly. I'm pleased they mentioned Larry & Adam in the credits at the end.
