U2 Live in Antwerp at Sportpaleis Featuring Discotheque Performance

Venue: Sportpaleis Location: Merksem, Antwerp, Belgium Date: August 6, 2001

The live recording from August 6, 2001, captures U2 during their Elevation Tour, which followed the release of their album "All That You Can't Leave Behind" in late 2000. This album marked a significant comeback for the band, rejuvenating their sound and introducing hits like 'Beautiful Day' and 'Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of.' By the time they performed in Antwerp, U2 was riding high on success, both critically and commercially. Interestingly, the concert included a rare performance of 'Discotheque,' a track from their 1997 album "Pop," showcasing the band's willingness to blend older material with fresh energy. At that point in their career, U2 was not just a band; they were a powerful cultural force, using their platform to address global issues while delivering unforgettable live experiences.
