Welcome to Reality…
As long ago as it now was, I reckon many of you reading this will remember those two magical nights at the Point Depot in Dublin in Ireland on the 22nd and 23rd of November 2003, as if they were only yesterday…and the day before, obviously.
Long available on the A Reality Tour DVD, fans have hankered after an audio version of the recordings since the DVD’s release. Well, now their wishes have been granted with the ISO/Columbia/Legacy 33-track, 2CD release of A Reality Tour in January 2010.
Here’s the tracklisting…

This means that all of the songs played on the first night are now available as audio and only Days and 5:15 The Angels Have Gone remain unreleased from the second night.
Though the press release (see PR section above) mentions a Tuesday, January 26th release, if things follow the normal pattern the set will be released the day before in the UK…and possibly even the Friday before that in the country the recordings were made.
