2.3.7 Why haven't I seen the video for Red Hill Mining Town? (U2)
[PC] The song was actually slated to be the second single off of the
album. The video was shot in Bodie,
California (a ghost town) and directed by Neil Jordan. But while W/or
W/Out You was doing its tour of duty,
the band was rehearsing for the tour and they discovered that Red Hill
was too high for Bono to sing every night
and would not be in the set list for the tour. And as logic says: What's
the good of touring if you can't use it to
promote your latest record/single?
[P] The original copy of the video remains in storage at Principle
Management's offices in Dublin. Rumors have
circulated that MTV showed this video once on-air, and that they also
have a copy of it in their "library." These
rumors are just that, and they are false.
