#U2 #Elevation #Remastered
Lyrics:
High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here,
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul
I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...

[@TrayDyer38]

Greatness among the Greats. I saw this same concert 22 years ago May 4 2001. U2 chose to come to Lexington Kentucky twice..that was Joshua tree 1987 and this concert in 2001. The Edges right hand man, Dallas is from Lexington Kentucky. You feel kind of special when they come to your town and you don’t have to drive four hours to go see them play . It was typically 4 to 5 years between each album and tour. Zoo TV tour absolutely mesmerized me when I saw them perform in Atlanta September 25, 1992, more so than Joshua tree. That concert was that was the first time I saw them perform in a stadium. Pop Mart set them Back in 1997, their fans we’re not connecting with it. and as a Fan since 1986, I was awaiting their comeback kick ass album and tour, and when they released “all that you can’t leave behind” on October 30, 2000, I skipped out of work to listen to the whole damn thing and I was like “yes they are back!” Bono announced “we are re-applying for the job. We are going to be the greatest rock band in the world” and by god this was a great concert. Bono is getting old and has physically aged terribly… and so am I… how short life is.

[@BudFuddlacker]

The Bono Glasses Cam version of this is the best, never forget discovering it on the Making Of Elevation Live documentary with the secret code after you highlight and enter Bono's shades on the icon at the end of the credits. This show looks epic in hd, hopefully Slane Castle gets the same treatment

[@vinnym6734]

U2 concerts are a spiritual experience. Happy to have seen them three times.

[@gerbear5346]

I always found Bono coming on stage and bowing before his audience/fans to be one of the most epic things I've ever seen! Shows how much he appreciates and respects his fans .....even in signings at gigs or on the street. I met him in Dublin a couple times and he is a true gent and human being.... considering he is the biggest rockstar in the planet! He always says at gigs to his fans....."thanks for giving us a great life" 👍 furthermore to all the haters or supposed fans who criticise U2 for running out of ideas and lack of energy etc......hello this is THE band that have done it ALL achieved it ALL and pioneered so much in terms of sound and live experience! They are in their 60s now and have been active consistently for the last 4 decade's as the very same quartet with no band breakups and very little hiatus! sold 175 million records worldwide and that's actual records not counting digital downloads, They have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band, in 2005, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility and were the world record holders for highest grossing live tour ever..........until ed Sheeran took that in 2019(however important to note that ed Sheeran had to tour for 2.5 years playing 260 gigs to beat U2's record who achieved the feat in less than half the time and shows played)! U2 are truly the last supper in rock band terms and we will never see their like again.....in fact music itself and the live experience have changed forever......I believe the best times and bands are behind us now but at least we have the memories and the content to enjoy forever 😁👍

[@brettscott8288]

Comment of the decade, right here...I'm amazed.

[@nianfiedler9691]

U2 still holds the biggest tour record adjusted for inflation, which is the proper way to do it. I mean, how is a tour in the 80’s or 90’s ever going to be in the list without inflation adjustment? awesome post, and so true in every word. Met Bono twice outside of gigs and is truly a down to earth nice guy. Gave me and my friend tickets to the show that night because we didn’t have any.

I couldn’t be more agreed. Best band ever… ✨

[@goudagirl6095]

AHHH MEMORIES. I'd just been laid off, so I hit the groupie trail and followed U2 around the country for a bit. Got inside the "heart' a couple times and let me tell you, it was like NOTHING I'd ever experienced before! This was right after 9/11 so things were very weirdly tenuous, but everyone was so nice, great fun, and great to talk to. And of course U2 rocked everyone's socks off! Truly some of the best times of my life!

[@gerbear5346]

I feel your joy😁 this gig actually took place in June 2001 ....on the live dvd release which came out post September 11 the song "new York" was black+white in tribute. I was actually at both gigs in Slane Castle, Ireland just 2 weeks before September 11, which was also released on DVD and was truly EPIC.....unlike this gig which is phenomenal indoors to circa 25000 , the homecoming gigs were outdoors to circa 100,000 fans each gig.....as the name Slane Castle implies it is an actual castle on large historic grounds in a valley and is a breathtaking sight to behold in daylight and at night with the castle illuminated.....wow! 🤤 Ah the memories
