Elevation Live: Join our Watch Party on October 30th to celebrate 20 years of All That You Can't Leave Behind!

We're streaming the full Elevation Show Live from Boston to celebrate the 20th anniversary re-release of All That You Can't Leave Behind. Join fans from around the world, on October 30th (6pm GMT/ 11 am PDT), as we come together to get Elevated!

This was 2001's Elevation Tour in Boston, Massachusetts when director Hamish Hamilton captured one of the band's great live performances. The show opened with an electric 'Elevation' and closed with 'Walk On' almost two hours later. An unforgettable night in a favourite Irish town. 

We want to hear from YOU during this very special 'Elevation Live Watch Party 2020' event.

We'll be running polls and competitions, our Zootopia team will be hosting live chat and Edge and Adam will answer your questions.
So what do you want to know?!

Post your questions for Edge and Adam in the comments below or on social media using the hashtag #ATYCLB

We're collecting questions from today and throughout the next week. See you on October 30th… and never forget. 
The goal is soul!

#ATYCLB question
Dear Edge You are a fantastic singer I would love to hear you singing more main parts like for example Van Diemans Land /Numb, Why did you not sing the intro words at the start of Walk On live?

Hi The Edge and Adam, I suppose that you can not remember all your shows (there are many Tours and many cities), but do you remember The Elevation Tour in Barcelona (8th August)? It was one of the best of U2 that I have seen. Thank you for fill in my life with your music!

Hi Adam & Edge, Bruce Springsteen told a story about how a gorgeous new guitar inspired songs on his new album, would this also work for you? Love, Anna

Gone in Boston 2001
Hi Edge, why did you kick your guitar after playing Gone in Boston 2001. I liked it, but it's really unusual for you.

Unforgettable
I was at the staples center in November after the attacks. One of the best performances by you guys that I have seen. You brought joy and happiness to people at a time when we found it difficult to reach those emotions. What must have it been like for you all performing such meaningful songs about life and death at a time of such darkness?

Mr Sergio
Five times see you on live concerts, new reality is ruled the way we can enjoy a live performance, I have to say that I enjoy on streaming way is better to nothing and a iconic group like you is important to send a message to all your fans, that we are a live by performing a concert. Thanks for all that you have given us.

Live Music
Had the fortune of attending the 2 shows in Singapore in December last year - at that point Covid wasnt even a thing. How things have changed, U2 have always been innovators in the live music show world - any ideas on a Covid safe gig or live stream or acoustic set or ??????????

The Fly...
Adam and Edge, thank you for taking questions from the fans! I was wondering if you could discuss the process that you take when deciding to radically rework a song like The Fly, as you did for the Elevation tour. It's a lot different here than on the record as well as how it was previously played live. Any insight you can give into the process of re-interpreting older material would be great to hear about. Was in the front row in Boston back in 2001... sadly, just not the nights that were filmed!

I WAS HERE
OMG! I was at all of the Boston shows! Can't wait to see it! I just may be on it!

Music theory versus Instinct
You were a huge influence on my musical growth, so being a musician myself, I wonder how far did you go in studying music theory and stuff. Do you still try to educate in composing or you rather rely on your instinct and have more of a punk attitude towards song writing? Thank you, wish you more great songs to come.

Elevation
How much fun was it on stage playing during the Elevation Tour? What was your most memorable experience whether it be on stage or places you visited while on tour? Oh and one more question--I saw you all live in Orlando at the Jai Alai Fronton on the first night of summer in 1983. (You all were part of what we called the college radio), will you ever come back and play CENTRAL FLORIDA? Us folks on the Space Coast have been treated like step kids always having to go to South or West Florida. I pray one more tour is you all. Sincerely and blessings to you and yours! Jan in Florida hanging on the beach on the Space Coast waiting for this to begin PS-I will catch a wave for you all.

Did you ever meet Eddie Van Halen? Although your music and his are quite different his constant experimentation and obsession with tone seems not that removed from Edge's inventiveness.

Polska wants U2 back & Any new music com
Hi Guys! Have great memories of the Elavation tour (saw it in Arnhem, The Netherlands). I am living in Poland now, so was wandering if you are already looking beyond Covid and making any plans for another tour?! And if so. PLEASE can you include Polska this time? I was at the last show here in 2009 (the 360 tour) with the white and red flag during New Years Day. The best U2 show I have attended in my life (of the 30 plus shows I have seen;-)). High time to visit the new national stadium in Warsaw! Feel free to contact me for some tips on the Warsaw nightlive;-)) Second question, with Covid keeping us all indoors, are you maybe finding some time and inspiration and working on some new music? And if so, when can we expect it to arrive? I don't mind it magiccaly arriving on my iPhone:D Take care guys and stay safe!!

Question for Edge: what's the most important lesson you've learned from a lifetime of sharing your talents with the world? Can't wait to see you in person again! Love xx
