This is what its all about...! A two hour documentary would still not satisfy my appetite.....! Great stuff, wish he played something new though!

Jedi says:

Oooh, sexier than boots! 21 guitars in one show, my god. Hearing Edge play the riff from Mysterious Ways and The Fly, knowing there's a bit of North African flavour in the new music... tingles run up my spine. Even my cat likes it, as soon as I played the videos she jumped up, pawed the laptop and meowed (translation, "finish the lyrics, Bono").

der edgar. easily one of the best interviews ever of him. certainly my two favourites. I wonder if dallas is also helping him out in the houshold by now.

Maassie says:

Great Stuff... Wish we could see a two hour documentary about this! (Or the release of a new album!) ;-)

Jedi says:

If you look closely 2mins and 12secs in, Dallas is tying Edge's shoelaces... :P

That is awesome stuff!

When did Dallas start working with them, UF?

Edge, you Rock!

cool how his first guitar has the most 'edges' ~ :)

dallas has been wth egde since the JT days, at least since the tour, I don't think he was already involved in the record, since he was working with robbie robertson on his 1987 self titled record, that danny lanois had produced. I believe the story goes that dallas fixed a guitar for danny, and that was how danny recommended him to edge...

When was this taped, do we know? There appears to be a setlist taped to the floor at about 4:00 of the second clip....just sayin'

John in Athens says:

To be in that room with that man and his guitars and be able to say, "Can we see that one?"...
