Vid: Sunday Bloody Sunday

[starrylizard]

Music: Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 (live, acoustic version)
Fandom: Supernatural
Vidder: starrylizard
Clips: mostly S1, 2.1, 2.2 and one scene from the S2 finale. No S3.
Summary: John and his boys and the way their lives have been shaped by events beyond their control.

Notes: I started this one aiming to make an angst vid for a challenge, so it's heavy on the angst. I started a Sam vid and it turned into somewhat more of a vid following John, his boys and their unfortunate family history. This one is all slow fades, effects and long scenes. Also, it's a live version of the song, so you can hear the crowd, but I really like this version and to me it's like watching images on a screen at a live concert. All comments, good or bad, are welcome and appreciated. :)

U2 first performed this acoustic version of SBS in Sarajevo during their PopMart tour. Did you know that's Edge, not Bono, singing? Bono needed a break because his voice was shot to hell during this tour and particularly this concert. I think this is the Mexico City version, which is where they recorded the PopMart DVD. If interested, here is the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYlVbw9nKeI

Thank you! And go Edge. It's the best version of the song ever. :)

You're welcome! I love this version so so much.

Wow, thank you so much for the link!

I thought "Bono's voice" sounded a little different in this vid (quieter/gentler), but I chalked it up to the acoustic version and that it was recorded live. The Edge! :) He also sang Van Diemen's Land on the Rattle and Hum (one of my favorite songs on that album), it's too bad that they fade it out before the song is actually over (if you look on the jacket there are more verses to that song). :(

I love Edge's voice! I have since made it a mission to get as much "Edge-songs" in my collection as possible, but there aren't that many, mostly he's background with an occasional verse (eg Miracle Drug, Seconds, and I ADORE his "wah-wah-wah-wah-wandering" on the Johnny Cash tribute version of The Wanderer). During PopMart Edge originally sang a karaoke set while Bono had to do a change; this became known, appropriately enough, as Edge Karaoke. You can have fun on YouTube with that one! For a really odd but cool song check out Corpse from Passengers:Original Soundtracks 1, a U2/Brian Eno collaboration.

Thanks for the song rec!

I saw the PopMart concert way back in the day. Funny I don't remember Edge Karaoke, but then ... heh ... with all of the other "fun" happening maybe not. *wink*
