U2 Window on the Skies

[Icepick]

Even though it's been out for a while I just saw this video. I'm talking about the version where they edit in all of the live performances.

It's a brilliant piece of editing. Good song. Good video. I haven't been into the video scene for the last few years but, this one kicks ass.

Can anyone name all of the performers in it? I'm stumped with some of them.

I've got about 95% of them down.

I wish they would release a version of the song that wasn't compressed to hell, the loud moments are so distorted.

Link? I haven't heard it. Is it a new single or what?

Shens.

meh, can't stand the video, it's too distracting from the song. I will agree it's well edited and all, but it gets in the way.

This is what I remember off the top of my head:

Bjork
Simon & Garfunkel
Robert Plant
Johnny Cash
Elvis
Frank Sinatra
Nirvana
White Stripes
Ramones
Bob Marley

OK. Who knows the rest?

 

[Hammerhead]

I saw the Smiths...well, Morrissey atleast

 

[Icepick]

I think George Harrison of the Beatles was in there too. David Bowie appears a couple of times.

They start it off with Zappa. Brilliant.

I know I saw him at least once, but thought maybe I saw him earlier on and wasn't sure.
