OTHER NOTES
City of Blinding Lights was released as the fourth single from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, but was only the third world wide single release.  All Because of You was only released in Canada commercially.  The single in a suprising move, goes back to a 1992 concert for Greenpeace that U2 participated in for the live tracks featured as B-Sides.  These were definitely not expected.

Once again a DVD single was released to accompany the audio releases.  This time the DVD featured video footage of U2 performing "City of Blinding Lights" from their 2004 concert at the Brooklyn Bridge.  It also features the finished video clip for the previous single "Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own"..
Previous Single:  Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own / All Because Of You [Canada] (2005)
Next Single:  All Because Of You  [Europe / Australia / Japan] (2005)
