U2

The live recording of "Elevation" from June 6, 2001, captures U2 during a pivotal moment in their career, following the release of their successful album "All That You Can't Leave Behind," which came out in 2000. This album marked a significant comeback for U2, revitalizing their sound and re-establishing their presence in the music scene after the more experimental phase of the 1990s. "All That You Can't Leave Behind" was critically acclaimed and included hits like "Beautiful Day" and "Walk On." The Boston show was part of their "Elevation Tour," which further showcased their ability to connect with live audiences and solidified their reputation as one of the premier live bands. Additionally, this performance has been highlighted in the 20th anniversary reissue, illustrating the enduring popularity and impact of both the album and the song itself in U2’s extensive catalog.
