U218 is released in Dublin - November 19, 2006 - Hardy U2 fans were rewarded with exclusive band goodies after queuing at midnight for the group's new album. HMV in Dublin's Grafton Street was mobbed by a large crowd hoping to get the first copies of U218. The album is the first single disc collection to span the band's career from 1980 to 2004. It features top hits from four decades, including tracks from their back catalogue of albums from Boyto How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The first 10 females and the first 10 males in the queue last night got U2 merchandise such as hoodies and baseball caps. Fans visiting the store last night also had their photographs taken with the famous Macnas U2 heads.

125th 'VERTIGO' show November 19, 2006 - Australia / Melbourne - Telstra Dome - Bono got to introduce 'Saints' as 'our Number One single from our new album which is released today'. Today's show was the second of two in Melbourne, and the last of U2's seven Australian shows. The band performed a stellar setlist that contained two very notable surprises: the first performance of The First Time since march 2, 2006 and the first performance of Bad since frebruary 12, 2006. The band also performed Party Girl to celebrate seven very successful shows in Australia, and pulled it off significantly better than the performance six days ago in Sydney; Bono even observed that U2 "screwed up" the Sydney performance, but claimed it happened in Adelaide! Another surprise in the set was New Year's Day relinquishing its spot for I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Between Beautiful Day and Angel Of Harlem, Edge had some considerable guitar troubles, prompting Bono to ask "is Edgeworld blowing up?" Edge exclaims "thank you, Sydney!" He then corrected this with "thank you Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, but especially MELBOURNE!"
