In NYC we played at the Pier. I got to sound check and Larry, Edge and Adam were playing. Larry asked me to play his kit for him while he went out front to listen to it. I started playing New Year’s Day and Edge and Adam jammed along, then Bono got up and jammed some new lyrics over it. – Nigel Twist
