Joey Gonzalez So would I!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at these shows and I can honestly say this really was their peak. After the bombastic neon sensory overload of the mid to late 90's and Popmart, U2 stripped it down and bared their soul on this tour. Bonos Dad's death, among other events and just the time in history when it took place, they captured their artistry so brilliantly and with amazing tenacity. These Boston shows in 2001 were nothing short of a religious experience. Never again will a band hit this height and hit it with such emotion blindingly beautiful pathos.

Apposite comparison! Bono labeled these shows as a "spiritual" experience too. Hard to say what the difference to a merely aesthetic experience is exactly (beyond the conviction that "there's a God") . I guess it is the conviction that you witness an authentic expression of life itself not only of four individual musicians and some listeners. You get carried away by something much bigger than yourself, something we are all part of. Something fascinating, full of power and beauty. Maybe something divine.

@@antman8887 i mentioned vocal performance, that includes vocal power, range, smoothness of the voice, etc. During elevation era, Bono had more emotion, but his voice was not as good, it would crack while singing the higher registers, thanks to smoking. After that, he drastically improved and accordingly to my observation, was really good from 2006 to 2014, peaking once in late 2016 and again from 2011 to 2014.

U2_ best band on the planet. Whether it's a 20,000 capacity arena or a 80,000 stadium,they make it like they're playing in your living room. Nothing beats one of their gigs. These tracks embody their sheer intensity on stage. Just brilliant. Saw this tour the day after Bono had to bury his father. Slane Castle August 25 2001. He told us to make as much noise as possible because he didn't want to let his dad down. What a day that was. Happy times. Little did we all know what lay ahead for New York the following month.

I've watched this performance so many times on the Boston DVD. It is one of the most epic and legendary performances I have ever seen. Truly inspiring, Goosebumps all over and nothing even comes close to this. This is Rock's finest hour. U2 is the greatest band of all time, especially live. I've seen them 21 times. No other concert that I have been to comes close. I would say the Elevation & Vertigo tours are their finest. I have to say that Innocence and Experience was very good too. My first U2 concert was Joshua Tree. Bono was amazing and so was the rest of the band and I instantly became a lifelong fan.

Agreed. For decades I've always come back to this. Something completely perfect and spiritual about that transition between the songs. It plunges into darkness and comes back into light. The crowd almost seems to push it themselves. Of course it was all staged to feel that way, but man, what a feeling.

and that was 14 years after rattle was recorded. they still got it

This is, as always, a perfect performance of this profesional musicians: Adam, Larry Jr, Bono and The Edge... outstanding!!!...

Was at this show …. They announced that Where the Streets would be aired live during NBA Finals…crowd was electric all night but those first few chords of Where The Streets started and the place just EXPLODED. Goosebumps every time I see it.

These guys are fantastic in concert...I saw them on their Joshua Tree tour in '87 and they played "One Tree Hill" I can still hear and see it in my mind's eye; I've had a few dreams about that night as well. It remains my all-time favorite U2 track, without question.

I want to run, I want to hide I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside I wanna reach out and touch the flame Where the streets have no name I want to feel sunlight on my face I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace I wanna take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name, oh oh Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there, I go there with you It's all I can do The city's a flood And our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Trampled into dust I'll show you a place High on the desert plain Where the streets have no name, oh oh Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there, I go there with you It's all I can do Our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Blown by the wind Oh and I see love See our love turn to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Blown by the wind Oh when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do

Was never a fan of U2 until they placed this live concert look during the NBA FINALS. Since then I’ve caught up with their catalog but this one was the one…

I saw the show in Albany a week or so earlier. During the Boston show he gives a shutout to Albany because he was sick during our show. You would have never known it and I didn't until I watched the tour video they made at this show in Boston.
