Customer Reviews

The Saints have arrived!
I like Green Day and U2 fine, but I cannot call myself a fan, as I did not own any of their CD's, until this one. I am a fan of the New Olreans Saints, and I was at the Superdome that fantastic Monday night when this song was recorded. This CD, "The Saints Are Coming", is a lasting memorial of that night, when all seemed right with New Orleans again. Thanks to U2 and Green Day for helping with our recovery. Proceeds from the sale of this CD help area musicians replace instruments lost during hurricane Katrina. Many thanks to all who purchase it.

U2 & Green Day Join Forces
U2 & Green Day team up to give a rousing performance of The Skids "The Saints Are Coming". Both bands are punk rockers at heart and their version of the song is one of the best recordings of the year. Their performance at the reopening of the Super Dome was inspirational and the feeling emanates from the live recording. Sometimes when two major artists join forces, the results are less than spectacular, but that is not the case on this song.

3 Great Reasons. Billie Joe, Bono, Music Rising
With the vocal talents of Billie Joe Armstrong and Bono, this song was guaranteed to be a hit before it was even recorded. Better yet, all proceeds go to Music Rising.
