Product Description
From Amazon.com
After the huge, lavish spectacles of previous tours, U2 decided to tone things down a bit for Elevation, which accompanied their All That You Can't Leave Behind album. Just as the album marked a return to a simpler more stripped-down sound, the live shows returned to smaller venues and a more intimate show, and from start to finish Elevation provides a welcome reminder of what a great band this is. Recorded in Boston, the show features a healthy mix of new and old songs, which were written over the course of two decades but sound as fresh and relevant as ever. From classics like "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Where the Streets Have No Name," and "I Will Follow" right up to instant favorites such as "Beautiful Day" and "Elevation," every track is stunningly executed. If you saw the concerts, this is a worthy and lasting souvenir; if you didn't, watch this and you might be kicking yourself. --Helen Marquis, Amazon.co.uk

Great DVD, a must buy for any U2 fan!!!,
By "u2bassace" (Anaheim, "GO ANGELS") - See all my reviews
This review is from: U2: Elevation 2001 - Live From Boston (DVD)
This was a great concert DVD. I only wish they used the shows post 9/11 for the DVD. I went to the shows pre 9/11 San Diego and Anaheim and Post 9/11 2 shows in Los Angeles and thought the earlier shows were awesome. But nothing could reach the sheer emotions of the post 9/11 shows. Most the songs took on a different meaning after the tragic events. I remeber having tears in my eyes during many songs. Plus in the post 9/11 days Bono's father had passed on, another emotional time when Bono would introduce Kite which was wrote about his father. But regardless this DVD is a must buy, I admit some of the editing left out some great songs and the ability to have subtitles would have been a nice. But overall worth every penny. Lets hope they release a full DVD of the Slane concerts, oh and a DVD version of the Pop Mart video would be awesome. Oh and throw in a DVD of the Sydney concert while your at it. Cheers! U2BassACe

This DVD Changed My Life,
By
This review is from: U2: Elevation 2001 - Live From Boston (DVD)
This is the DVD that started it all. The obsession, the admiration, the adoration, the motivation and the inspiration. I was a neutral U2 fan before. Loved the songs With or Without You, Stay, Staring at the Sun, but it ended there. When my sister received this DVD for her birthday, I was the first to watch it (Since I 'had nothing better to do, and I'm bored'. Anyone guess where that line's from?) and was hooked. I was floored, literally, since I was sitting on the floor when I was watching it.The first thing that struck me was the amazing directing of the video. The scenes are so beautifully executed! The stretch of songs from Bad to With or Without you will leave you breathless. On the DVD, U2 werenn't merely a great rock band performing their greatest songs. They were the world's best rock band merging, blending, becoming one with their fans. The crowd interaction, the intensity of emotion, everything! The director and editors captured the moment perfectly, and I was stuck in the moment that I didn't want to get out of. And I've watched the concert through and through around 8 or so times. No other live concert comes close. (Not even the Led Zeppelin one I own) The DVD also comes with a documentary on the making and filming of the concert. Interesting stuff. The director seems ultra quirky and nervous but that probably added to his artistic brilliance in the creation of the footage. Get this DVD. You must. It changed my life. Gave me renewed inspiration to carry on in my country's dead end music scene. U2 forever!

Good, But U2 Slane Concert is Better,
By A Customer
This review is from: U2: Elevation 2001 - Live From Boston (DVD)
Great musical performances, but Bono's voice is a little hoarse on some tracks. The mixing emphasizes bass too much overall, and the voice is drowned out a little on a few songs. The Slane concert is much better overall. Bono's voice is really fresh on that one.
