Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman

David Letterman brings a sense of wonder and awe to the city of Dublin as he interviews Bono and The Edge in between live performances that take place mostly in a small theater with The Edge on acoustic guitar or piano and Bono singing accompanied by a cellist.

The pair are a massively talented songwriting team who explain their origins, meeting as teenagers with a shared love of music.

The first major hit was Sunday Bloody Sunday which I immediately recognized when The Edge demonstrated his composition with the first few chords on his guitar. A partial version is shown at the theater, as is the haunting tune, Bad.

Letterman is as witty as expected with his funny interactions with the Irishmen.

I loved this documentary but I wish that more of the concert was included in the final cut.
