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!

Questions for Edge and Adam
I have loads of questions I would like to ask but will limit it to two. First, with such a reputation for being a live band and giving life to the songs in a live environment why don't you release more live recordings? Second, the book U2 by U2 is now 14 years old and ends with the Vertigo album, are there any plans to bring this up to date?

Love of my life won over at U2 concert i
My wife and I have been together ever since the 2001 U2 concert in Milwaukee, WI, USA. I took her to see the 2001 Elevation Tour concert knowing how much she loved U2 and by the end of the concert our relationship was sealed. We've seen many U2 concerts together since then, and we even took our teenager to see U2 in 2018 in Las Vegas. Our kid loved it and so did we.

position on stage
Why in concerts, in all your performances edge starts playing to the right of Bono and Adam to his left? in all other great bands the lead guitarist starts to play always to the left of the singer (I think about led zeppelin, queen, the who, rolling stones etc) Is there a particular reason? Why Edge you have choose this position? Are you superstitiuous?

#ATYCLB Album direction
How long were the songs around before recording,because I seem to remember,songs like Elevation,and Vertigo ,came up in previous Album sessions,but they weren't the direction you guys wanted to go at that time?

Next concert plan for 2021-22
Hi...I'm from Thailand, that I have to go to nearest countries to attend U2 concert, but that's fine for me :) Due to Covid-19, if this pandemic has been controlled. Do you guys have any plan to bring "Elavation tour" around the world like the Joshua Tree Tour 2019? I wish this gonna happen soon. I was born on 1978, but just seen the first U2 concert in Seoul 2019 (before Covid-19, quite late right?). and can't wait to join more. Take care and love you all.

How easy is it to stay connected?
Shw mae Adam / Edge (from another (Tim) David Evans from Wales!) - firstly 'diolch' for the inspiration since I became a fan in the early 80's, has been immense. Q: where do you both still get your inspiration from? Is it from other artists as in the early days? And do you still feel you need to develop your guitar craft in some way?

Recovery
Adam, As someone who has been sober since 1989. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your speech during the music cares event. . How do maintain your sobriety and sanity while touring? Are you able to attend meetings on the road or do you have a group of recovering people on the road with you?

New album
Is it a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ in regards to a new album being released on the future. And could you continue to do these anniversary releases with live shows to go with. Pop 25th in 2022 with Santiago Chile cd or dvd? AB30 next year with Washington cd or dvd? Keep them coming.

Question for Edge and Adam
Edge and Adam - what was it like bringing back some of the Pop songs on the Elevation Tour (Gone, Discotheque, Wake Up Dead Man), and are there any plans to play some Pop songs on future tours or do an anniversary release of the album (25 years is right around the corner!). Cheers, Brian

Question to Adam and Edge
Hello guys, first I want to say that I love you so much. My question is: Why didn't you play Kite once again since 2007? It's a beautiful and emotional song and I love Edge's solo. Love youuuu. Greetings from Perú !

Question for Adam
Hi Adam. The 1992-1993 period was quite hectic given your heavy touring/heavy living/heavy loving schedule, yet amid the madness you found the time to put down some of your most remarkable basslines on Zooropa. Perhaps more than any other album, the bass feels front and centre. At turns it's powerful, stark and funky, but always on point. What do you put your 'tight but loose' Zooropa sound down to?

Question for Adam and Edge

If this of Covid ends, are you going to come to Mexico?, I’m just a 14 year old girl who loves all your music and I would really love to meet you in real life, a dream that will become true ❤️❤️ So, are you going to come to Mexico?, I will wait for your answers

Question for Adam and The Edge
Has this period of self-isolation, limited travel, etc sparked new songs, musical techniques and style of music from the band? How have the members of the band remained close and in touch during this time?

Hello Adam and The Edge
Hi, first I just wanna say thank you so much for all the awesome music and memories you've given over the years. I've been a fan for over 30 years and will continue to be until my dying day. My question is: will you revisit the Pop album, for it's 25th anniversary, and remix it the way you guys always wanted it to be? I personally love that record and always felt that it is incredibly underrated, but I know it never turned out the way you wanted it. I would love to here how you've always wanted it to sound and be heard. Glad to know you guys are doing well during these crazy times. Take care.

Recording on “The Fly”
Edge and Adam, First thank you for all your creations. My question is this; would you ever consider a documentary to a new album similar to UF? As a musician I become 100% in when I first saw the making of the UF. And I’d love absolutely love it if you all reignite B-sides to your singles being released. Those gems are absolutely lovely. Blessings to you all and stay safe✌️ -Isaiah
