Larry can produce?

Larry can produce?

By "produce", they meant "produce a playlist using whatever was lying around on his iPod."

I like hearing about Larry doing projects aside from U2

I'm sure Larry will include United Colours on his playlist.

What, you don't have his official Ireland World Cup theme saved on your ipod? Call yourself a U2 fan....

He is a father......

He is a father......

No, no, no, you are confused, that is called REproducing.

It was a fairly standard selection of big Irish hits with "Pride" as the big finale... Although right before Pride there was a verse of someone else singing a piano version of it... No idea who...

Lots of youtube clips, hoping one of good quality turns up soon but this should give an idea. I was there, and quite aside from the fact that my team (Tyrone!) won what was a really exciting game, it really was quite a spectacle... Oh and almost 80,000 people in the stadium... Biggest attendance at any sporting event in the world this weekend including the superbowl... I love Gaelic Games!!

This (very very poor quality!) one has the Pride finale - including the strange version at the start (from around 2:20)

And the grand finale...! Loved the Giant tricolours!

I think that Larry and Adam did 'Mission impossible' and they did all the recording producing etc. Somebody else might have mastered it but I think they they did it on their own. And that song rocks ! I read this on a article.

Produced and arranged by Larry Mullen and David Beal. - mission impossible.

MrBTH, that is John Legend singing Pride on piano.
