  • why would he want to open for U2? U2 should open for them.

  • You know.. I found this arrangement while searching for the original. At first I couldn't tell if they were spoofing, or are just eccentric. Took me a few tries. Since then I find something new that's just brilliant about it and I feel lucky that I get it. But I had to listen to it detached of the original in order to start appreciating it. Incredible musicianship. Waterboys!

  • Sends chills - never can decide what I like better - fiddle or piano - love how it all builds!

  • Very unusual, unique, and heart felt take on Van's song. The Man is a being of pure love and it shines out of him. Nice one Mike.

  • Fantástico. Adoro isto. Que pena em Portugal os The Waterboys não serem mais conhecidos. O Mike Scott é um génio.

  • cryin' good.

  • @hugebooter Hey, I can totally see how you could of thought that that Waterboys cover of Van Morrison's Sweet Thing was perhaps a spoof or something like that. It's the most animated I have seen Mike Scott ever in all the live recordings I have seen of him. I have been following this band since 1985 and they certainly are truly some of the best musicians out there. They are constantly touring and bringing old songs to new frontiers and new songs onto old frontiers. Ye stumbled good, carry on

  • this is such a great version of van the man's sweet thing. Accomplished musicians going to town...

  • @hugebooter I've listened to it and listened it and never got it lol. Much prefer Van Morrison's orginal.

  • ty 4 posting, i never seen this version. a belief & passion for what you do is all here!! & Steve Wickam is just gr8 he is The Rock God Fiddler!!
