    - Atomic Bomb boxed set
    - Bono's film on Apple TV
    - Record Store Day single


    Also more live EPs in the future right?
  3. Nothing planned at the moment that I'm aware of - physical or digital. But they'll be watching the demand on this one, and I can't see them not doing it again. Maybe not an EP even, maybe they'll try something bigger next time around. The only thing I expect other than what's listed above in the next few months would be the Fan Club gift for next year. (and then the 12 month wait for it to actually come out...)

    I expect it to get quiet again and then they'll ramp up for the new album in March or June, or wherever they end up launching it. Probably a quieter time on the back catalog at that point for a while as they focus on the new singles and album.
  4. I'd imagine that assembling the HTDAAB boxset would be more work than usual. In addition to the demos we don't know of, It was a prolific time and so many great live versions of songs such as OOTS, Yahweh and LAPOE would be great additions becuase we hear them so sparlingly now.

    I know most people just want to hear when the album and tour is, but they do have a somewhat busy period of older material ahead of them these coming months.

    Target already spoiled the coloured vinyl, but have now taken it down. I suspect that's next. It does seem a bit early for the Atomic Bomb boxed set to be announced, but those Mercy take downs make me think its coming sooner than later. The Record Store Day single should be announced toward the end of September.


    Hope you don't mind me asking, not too sure if you'll know the specifics as such, but do you think Bono's film on Apple TV will be a Christmas time release or could we see that being released earlier?

    Don't have the exact specifics so anything I could give you would just be a guess. But I do expect it all out by the end of the year. (Bono's film has been rescheduled before as well, so if any of it shifts, that's the one that will.)

    It does seem early for the announcement for HTDAAB. I thought it was going to get announced in mid / early October - but the sooner the better!

    Excellent stuff! Looking forward to this!

    Now that you mention Mercy, I was looking for the live version's lyrics on your website. The lyrics do exist, as they are accesible through the "Wide Awake in Europe" discography entry, but the song doesn't appear under the "M" alphabetical page.
  10. This box set has me very excited.. more than any of the other stuff they've released as of late. And don't get me wrong, I'm just as happy as anyone for some new live material, but I really hope some stuff that hasn't seen the light of day is included. It's awesome to have the threads active and buzzing
  11. I'm excited for this! Loved this album and the Vertigo tour. HTDAAB was the first U2 album I purchased and the Vertigo tour was my first show
