Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 5098774, member: 2500"] I wouldn't say U2 was "huge" by the time the Waterboys released their first album, but they were big. They had just finished the War tour at that point. But here's an interesting nugget you'll likely enjoy - if you consider War was U2's breakthrough album and This Is the Sea was the Waterboys breakthrough album, they shared a common thread: in both cases it was the first time the respective bands worked with and featured Steve Wickham. I don't know if you own the live CD from Glastonbury, but damn. That's when Scott first broke out his cover of Purple Rain. A whole lot of people who said they were there said it was the best show they'd ever seen. And for those not familiar, if you want to see a band rip, check out the back half of this show. They really were something live. [MEDIA=youtube]-yyRivE-Pjg[/MEDIA] They're not featuring a fiddler these days since Wickham went into semi-retirement, and I don't like what I'm hearing. [/QUOTE]
