If it was this:

Not bad, I reckon. Guitars lack a bit of oomph but a worthy tribute.

I re-recorded a favourite medley of mine a few weeks ago (Runrig's 'Every River' into 'WOWY'), mainly to see how much my voice had changed in the last 4 years.

They were part of a bigger line-up during 'De Vrienden van Amstel Live'. It's an event by Amstel bier, a Dutch beer brand. Basically they convert the Ziggo Dome into a gigantic pub

That Babyface snippet is awesome. Fits really well.

Pretty version of one of my favorite U2 songs, but lacks the dynamics that really make the original song special for me. Cool video, though.
