The studio version of 'The Saints Are Coming', produced by Rick Rubin, is released as a benefit for Music Rising this week.

The live version, recorded at the reopening of the New Orleans Superdom, has been available since the end of September but this week the studio version makes its download debut.

Next week, November 6th, the track is released on 7" and CD.

All proceeds go to Music Rising, the charity set up by Edge which is helping put the music back in the hands of the musicians in the region affected by last year's hurricanes.
