Hold On, I'm Comin’: youtu.be/URjnWlvLGKE

Taken from our 'live' performance in The Chalk Venue, Dublin.

Hold On, I'm Comin' was originally recorded by Sam Moore & Dave Prater (Sam & Dave) in 1966 and The Stars From The Commitments were lucky enough to perform with Sam Moore live in London in 1997 and also in Dublin in the Olympia Theatre.

All tracks from this live show were recorded in one take and with no backing tracks!

Post-Production and Editing on all individual videos by Paul Maher

Thanks to David Merriman (DMI Videos) for shooting the full show performance, producing the promo video and also for allowing us access to the multicam footage. Huge thanks also to Conor Friel for his incredible audio mix from the sound desk.

"I Can't Stand The Rain": Another video taken from our 'live' performance in The Chalk Venue, Dublin. All tracks from this live show were recorded in one take and with no backing tracks! youtu.be/TVXOQeTyHPA

It was the 1973 Ann Peebles song that inspired The Commitments version.

"Ann Peebles wrote the song with her husband, Don Bryant, and the radio broadcaster Bernard "Bernie" Miller. The number originated from an offhand comment made by the singer when the threesome were preparing to head out to a Blues show one evening and it began tipping down with rain. "It was pouring outside and I just said, I can't stand this rain," recalled Peebles to Mojo magazine March 2014. "And I think it was Don who perked up: 'That's a good title.' We sat down and began to write. We started writing and forgot all about the rain."
