What was said about the album?
Yeah, I noticed that, too; Bono barely moved during the performance.Maybe it's just me but in general the band's body language during and after TBT on Fallon just gave me a feeling like they're not in love with this arrangement or something just seems a little off. Bono crossed his arms immediately after Fallon shook his hand. Adam was cracking smiles after Bullet but not one smile after TBT. Add in Edge's waffling back & forth during the interview about the album being done/ not done/ done I think was truly hesitation and not just for show.
Nothing, other than Edge waffling about the release date

By waffling what do you mean? Was this year mentioned?
Nup. No mention of release date.

Bono said it was ready, but Edge seemed non committal. Not sure if he was playing it up or just didn't want to reveal anything
Is there video or audio available ?
Live ratings are incredibly overrated... DVR streams count towards the overall numbersI think the band / U2 mgmt made a terrible terrible mistake booking Fallon tonight of all nights to debut the lead single. Had they chosen Colbert also logistically wise being in NYC after the Buffalo show they would've gotten on much earlier & also gained the non-football Tv crowd. And then be at the tail end when people are tuned out or falling asleep. Giant headscratcher. I love these guys but for all the perfection they strive for this was not well thought out.
It's taped television... if the band were that upset with a take they could have filmed it a second time.Maybe it's just me but in general the band's body language during and after TBT on Fallon just gave me a feeling like they're not in love with this arrangement or something just seems a little off.

It's taped at 5:30 est. This isn't SNL.Glad you said it cause I was scratching my head thinking it wasn't live was it. Sure I've read they did bullet twice so like you say if they were unhappy with it they would have done it again
What was with Edge's shirt too? I couldn't get a good view of it, other than Kim Jong Un and the American flag with some other stuff around it.

I thought it was Martin Luther King Jr. with an American flag in a lightning bolt going down the middle
