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!

Fan for live
Sandra Ciere-Koolhaas #ATYCLB One of my favorite U2 albums, but I missed this show in Arnhem, on the first of August 2001! For a good reason, my premature born daughter finally came home safe and sound after 8 long week in the hospital after she was born. But ... I still regret not being able seeing it live! I remember the moment you played One and my brother called me to make me able to hear it. Breathtaking Beautiful. Is there any, any chance what so ever that you will play the show again? I will travel to Ireland if I must

The Albany Show
Thanks for the shout out to the Albany crowd before Kite. I was there that night and it was an incredible show. Who plays the piano on Stuck In a Moment? I just noticed it on the Boston recording.

A day in the life of U2
What does your day look like when you are not touring?

#SongsOfAscent
I love and treasure each and every U2 album, including #AYCLB, of course. But, I am also so intrigued by the songs Bono called “Psalms for the future” that we’re written for a project called ‘Songs of Ascent.’ As a rabbi who often uses U2 songs in synagogue like ‘Yahweh’ and ‘One,’ the prospect of some more rock and roll universal liturgy is very exciting.

State of Mind
So much strife in the world, you all have stood up for so many causes. Always fighting for others. How are the current events of racial unrest and protests in the US effected you?

MSG October 2001
What was it like playing the October 2001 MSG show- I was there and for me it goes down as one of the most incredible U2 shows I have ever seen - even beat Croke Park for me - which was a 2 x bucket list experience - (proud NY resident)

Writing ATYCLB
Was there a big difference between writing previous albums (like POP, Zooropa) and ATYCLB? and if yes, how did this translate to playing the (bass) guitar parts? Thank you for the music guys! Cheers

Reappearance of the Gibson Explorer on A
Edge - What was it about the arrangement of Beautiful Day that led you to bring back the Gibson Explorer, the echo, and the Vox? What particular sound was missing from the guitars you were recording with at the time and what personality did the Explorer bring to that song? Anyways, I'm so glad you brought it back. Love all your sounds over the years. Listening to your music is a spiritual experience for me. P.S. - I'm rooting for a 30 year Achtung Baby anniversary tour in 2021 Thank you!

Elevation Live
Evening gents. Thank you for providing the musical backdrop to so many moments in the lives of your fans. If you could replay any gig/tour just as it happened which would you choose? And if you could watch yourselves from the crowd with the rest of us, which gig/tour would you most like to have watched. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon. Alex

Question to Adam from an Irish (amatuer)
Hi Adam. What's your favourite bass line from All That You Can't Leave behind and how did you change your style of playing from what you did on the Pop album for example?

HOLA FROM SPAIN
I have been following the band since I was 13, and I will be 48 in 2 weeks! Thanks for all this years guys, you are the best! I can’t wait to see you again. My questions are, which is the song you feel the crowd goes crazy when you play live, and which is the song more emotional for you? Where is Bono? Is he fine? Well and Larry? I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

Gary Quintana
Ok, Hope all is well. Question. Describe the guitar that Dick and Edge built when you were Lads. That'll be very interesting. Larry described it as " an incredible looking machine he's ever seen" during the Achtung Baby interviews. Im sure other fans are interested aswell. Thnx ✌

Brexit and Your Role
Where do you see your bands role as those who were born in Ireland as it relates to what is going on with Brexit? I would assume this affects your families and friends, but I haven't seen many who have a "voice" say much about it in recent months. Thanks, Brett - Minnesota (USA)

Kite
Hi Adam and The Edge, I love Kite and my favorite version is definitely the one closing the Australian lives during the Vertigo tour. That version with that magnificent guitar solo. My question is: Will we ever have the chance to listen Kite live again? And last, Why not include that solo in the album version too? I love you guys, a hug to you two to extend to Larry and Bono too Christian

20 Years You Can't Leave Behind
This record changed my life...my question for Edge and Adam: how did it change yours? Musically, spiritually, and emotionally? Thanks for all you've done.

Achtung Adam
Hi Adam. How often have hopeful paramours propositioned you by referencing your “dimensions” in the famed Anton Corbijn portrait on the Achtung Baby sleeve?

Most difficult song to play live
Which song from the album is the most difficult to play and which gets the best audience response, Elevation or Beautiful Day?

Your visit to Costa Rica
A lot of Costa Rican fans have had the opportunity to see you play in different countries in Europe and North America. I am sure that if you include COSTA RICA in your next tour it will be a complete success and unforgettable experience for U2 and for the fans. So, when are you going to include San Jose, CR in your tour??? 1000% positive you won’t regret it.

Question for the guys
How many instruments do you each own? Who plays the most different types of instruments? Thanks for many years of great music. Can't wait to hear more :) !

Elevation Tour "One"
Edge and Adam, Do you have any idea how much the post 9/11 tour rendition of "One" and "Streets" and the subsequent performance of "MLK" and "Streets" at the Super Bowl were possibly the single most healing acts of love given our nation? Thank you we will never forget what you did for us. Sincerely, Our America

#ATYCLB Questions
Dear Edge and Adam, I want to thank you for your music, is so helpful during this strange time. And thank you for your artist touch and for your human touch in everything you do. Adam, thank you for caring about the "mental health issues" topic. I think it's so important these days. Any advice? I miss U2 gigs so very much. Any chance to see a document from The Joshua Tree Tour "celebration"? Love from Florence, Italy
