Or as the journalist called it "Boys Fall From the Sky" - sounds like a punk version of It's Raining Men.

I can't see any singles from the new songs played at the concerts. Maybe A Boy Falls From The Sky but thats about it. I think the boys need to knuckle down and write some new tunes for this new album IMO.

before anyone gets too exicted:
1. Paul McG said in December 2009 that a new U2 album should be out in June 2010. that did not happen.
2. Paul McG said this summer that a new album should be out by the end of the year. That is not happening.

You guys just took it and ran with it.
Good luck. And please don't hold your breath.

I believe #2 was something like "If I were wildly optimistic, I'd say we'll see an album before the end of the year"

yep. just shows that Paul McG's quotes are anything but concrete, and he used the term "guessing" on this new quote.

News from u2tour.de:
"Wide awake in Europe" will be a live EP with 6 tracks from leg 3. It will only be available in the US, only on Vinyl and only in indie stores. Which tracks got picked, isn't known yet.

That makes no sense! Surely it will be available in Europe!

Well we already know this is incorrect since the first source was an online retailer from the UK...
i don't see any way that's true... isn't it already listed on amazon sites around the world?
i met paul mcguinness on the floor of the Izod Center during the Vertigo Tour. He gave the three of us wristbands for "the heart" as he drunkenly put it. We were pumped. We ran up to the front to go inside. They were the wrong wristbands.
The moral of this story is that Paul McGuinness is never to be trusted, for it is likely that he's drunk.

On amazon.co.uk it's declared as an import. And U2tour.de is known for good contacts and it's seriousness - they wouldn't write it if they hadn't any reliable information on this.

This really isn't making any sense at all. In the age of the internet live albums, especially EPs are useless. And secondly what is the point of the vinyl only idea? Guys, bands do this so that NEW songs don't get spread on the internet as quickly, you're missing the point if this is only live songs.

bands do this for record collectors. it's for the purists..
it's time to buy a turntable if you haven't yet already.

But not for live recordings.
I'm talking about Vinyl only releases, this is a fairly new plan and it's done in order to curb the spread of it on the internet. It slows it down a little that first week...

well let's see what we actually get for a track list.. maybe some will in fact be studio recordings.

I went from optimistic to mixed. 
Hopefully a EP or full album will come out, but as of now just alot of speculation, not knowing which source is right.

That's what I was thinking when I first heard it. I'm not getting my hopes up.

Well, if it is vinyl only, I think we know what next year's subscriber gift will be...

i'm not one bit surprised at the news that it's live only. that was my hunch the moment i saw the amazon posting last night. with that said, i wouldn't be surprised if one new song makes the cut.

So...an EP called Wide Awake In Europe won't be available in Europe? What the hell?
EDIT: Also, if it is US-only, why did we find out about its existence from amazon.co.uk?

I hate you.
That tracklisting gave me nightmares last night.
Well, the tracklisting and the knowledge that IALW is someone's favorite U2 song of all time.

i actually like IALW. i just have no idea why it would be played on this tour.
