The Maker

Who originally wrote the maker? I'm really starting to be obsessed with that song. The electric guitar work is incendiary.

He's a French Dude (I think) that makes good music.

Yeah, he's from Montreal. My wife has seen him live and says he's pretty good. He wrote a lot of stuff for U2 for whatever album came after the Joshua Tree. He's really not even that big up here in Canada.

Actually he produced both "The Unforgettable Fire" and "The Joshua Tree."

What about LIOG, tim's solo kicks ass.

I just prefer the Red Rocks version of LIOG a little better, because I love the sound of the extended sax solo. I don't like the LIOG/LiC solo as much as others on that album, such as Last Stop and Jimi Thing.

The Maker is a most excellent song. One of my main struggles in life are layed out in that song.
I'm gonna find the Daniel Lanios version right now, since i've never heard it

I doubt it will be as good as dave's, but who knows?

LIOG's jam on LiC is almost too long for me...i mean, i appreciate the solos... and stuff, i dunno, i perfer the shorter jam on rr.

i still don't skip the song when i listen to the cd though...
