New documentary gives glimpse into U2's studio

Producer Daniel Lanois recently helped put together an upcoming documentary, Here is What it is, that will “feature rare footage of the band in the recording studio,” according to Gigwise. Premiering Sept. 7 at the Toronto Film Festival, it features appearances from Willie Nelson, Brian Eno and U2. Have at this preview.

That’s the word on that for now. In the meantime, take a look at this U2 documentary, likely posted to YouTube in a completely illegal fashion!

Also, while we’re on the subject, it seems like far too few people have read about the New York improv group who, in a performance they called "Even Better than the Real Thing," convinced a crowd of cityfolk they were U2 by dressing up as Bono and company performing on a rooftop.
