Video: The original Skids: “The Saints Are Coming”

Medvidek — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 11:47:02 +0000

Would you like to see the original version of the song “The Saints Are Coming” performed by Skids from 1978?

Check out the video inside this article.

Description on YouTube says: Richard Jobson (lead singer of The Skids) says a phone call came out of the blue early one evening from The Edge asking what his thoughts were on the bands covering the song as part of this very special charity event. “I was surprised and very proud that The Edge held the song it such high regard. I have always been a fan of U2 and the thought of them performing the song in a studio is enough but the fact that they will play it live along with Green Day is quite difficult to get my head around. I am too dismissive of what we achieved in The Skids, we were very young and naive but the songs still have an energy and innocence. It’s sad that Stuart Adamson who wrote the song with me could not be here to witness this special event. My heart goes out to all of the victims of Katrina and I hope their lives are slowly being re-built after such a terrible experience. The song mixes a sense of tragic loss with a hint of optimism. If anything I hope the new version puts a smile on peoples faces and gives them the rush it used to give me when I played it on stage way back when the dinosaurs still ruled the earth.”
