I am also looking forward to “Red Hill Mining Town” video, love the song. I am sure it will be great. I agree with the fact that they are usually much harder on themselves than necessary.

Remember that the band positively HATED it... ahh, but it's U2, so it can't be all bad, right? I'll be picking mine up on release day! :-) What’s funny is that the long sought-after “holy grail” video for RHMT is likely to be hokey crap.
