*Elevation Tour - 2001

post under construction...

The Elevation tour was in support of U2's 2000 album release All That You Can't Leave Behind. The tour was their first since the PopMart tour wrapped up in 1998 and only covered North America and Europe, playing 113 concerts over 3 legs. The tour kicked off on 24 Mar 2001 in Florida and ultimately wound up on 2 Dec 2001 back in Florida again (however different venue).

Leg 1 (North America) - 24 Mar 2001 to 22 Jun 2001 (50 shows)
Leg 2 (Europe) - 6 Jul 2001 to 1 Sep 2001 (30 shows)
Leg 3 (North America) - 10 Oct 2001 to 2 Dec 2001 (33 shows)

This tour saw U2 back to playing in mostly indoor arena's with a more stripped back stage design that featured a heart shaped ramp that extended out onto the arena floor creating a catwalk.

There were 2 programs released for this tour, both seemingly identical but for a few minor differences, namely that the second program contains pictures taken from the shows.

2nd version - Leg 2 onwards
