U2 Live in Boston: 'With Or Without You' Performance from 2001

Location: Boston, MA, United States Date: 2001

In January 2001, U2 performed live in Boston, during a pivotal moment in their career, as they were riding the momentum of their critically acclaimed album "All That You Can't Leave Behind," which had been released in late 2000. This album marked a significant resurgence for the band, featuring hit singles like "Beautiful Day" and "Elevation." The live recording of "With Or Without You," a classic from their 1987 album "The Joshua Tree," showcases U2's ability to captivate audiences with their anthemic sound and emotional depth. By this point, the band had embraced a more mature and reflective sound, and the Boston concert was part of their successful Elevation Tour, which further solidified their status as one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Additionally, the atmosphere of the live performance is infused with a sense of nostalgia and connection, encapsulating the band's journey and their ever-growing relationship with fans.
