An Irish melody with a Portuguese name played by a Canadian using an American guitar: brilliant. ;)
In all seriousness, this is an amazing, amazing song. Thanks to Peter Berg and company for their judicious use of this track in "Friday Night Lights". If not for that film I might not have ever discovered this track, and therefore the rest of Daniel's music.
This sounds close to the studio version, especially the keyboard arrangement--Lanois has at least one other live recording (featured on his "Cool Water" CD) that's much more raw and pared-down. I'm surprised to see this performance dated 1989, before any of recordings were released. Does anyone know what year Lanois recorded "Sonho" in the studio? I don't care about the pirate shirt, this song rules.
@brucewhitehouse The version on cool water is this one: h-uh3YKXakE . The first recording of Sonho Dourado was on Trip around 1993, which is the most famous version (Friday Night Lights for example).
this song is up there next to little Martha by the allman brothers for the best instrumental song of all time
