A Window on Rock'n'Roll

17 Dec 2006
There's not one but two videos for Window in the Skies, the new single released on January 1st.

The first, a work of breathtaking editing, stars a dazzling cast of rock'n'roll icons from Elvis Presley to Marvin Gaye, Patti Smith to Frank Sinatra. (As for the band themselves, you'll be hard pressed to spot them... but you might).

The second video offers a dizzying kaleidoscope of imagery from the story of U2 themselves - everything from family photos to iconic album sleeves. Also pretty cool!
