Old clip from Bono interview

[adam3000]

There was an old interview before NLOTH came out of Bono listening/singing along with some new U2 music in his car that they played during an interview with ABC or CBS or something.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about or possibly have an mp3 copy of this? Send to adam3000@gmail.com if you do. Thanks.

Yeah, it was Original of the Species from what I remember....

I think that interview was prior to Bomb not NLOTH.

I think it was actually ATYCLB. It was indeed Original of the Species, which was originally written during the ATYCLB sessions...

I think you're right, I orignially wrote that but then thought my memory must be failing me. Should have gone with my gut.

Wow. Has it been that long?

The music for "City of Blinding Lights" was written in '96 for the Pop sessions, but didn't get released until 2004. So U2 has a tendency to hang on to their stuff...

Man, I hope they release this on the Pop remaster's bonus disc.

Big Girls Are Best and Love And Peace Or Else were also written in 1996 for the Pop sessions.

It was from an episode of 60 Minutes II on CBS back around 2000. I remember when the episode originally aired the "Original of the Species" clip wasn't in it. When it was rebroadcast the reporter was in the car with Bono and asked him what music he was listening to. He turned on his car stereo and said this was a song he wrote for his daughters and an early verison of "Original of the Species" began playing. I have/had this on videotape somewhere and I've searched for it over the years and have yet to find the tape.
