Anecdotes

Elevation 2001: Live from Boston is a concert film by Irish rock band U2. It was filmed on 5–6 and 9 June 2001 at the FleetCenter in Boston, Massachusetts, during the first American leg of the group's Elevation Tour. The video was directed by Hamish Hamilton and produced by Ned O'Hanlon. It was released on home video as a two-disc DVD and a single VHS by Island Records and Interscope Records on 20 November 2001. Elevation 2001 was the first of two video releases from the tour, the second being U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle, Ireland in 2003.

Production

The concerts were directed by Hamish Hamilton and produced by Ned O'Hanlon. It was the third U2 concert video O'Hanlon had been involved in producing; his company with Maurice Linnane, Dreamchaser Productions, previously produced Zoo TV: Live from Sydney (released in 1994) and PopMart: Live from Mexico City (released in 1998).

Prior to the 6 June show, security staff at the FleetCenter handpicked some fans from the general admission queue to let them into the venue early, ahead of some people who had been queuing for more than 24 hours. According to lead vocalist Bono, this was done partly to ensure local Bostonians were in the center of the heart-shaped stage but also to ensure a "fresh audience"; he said that many fans had been following the band from concert to conc…

Earlier in the day before the group's 6 June concert, Bono spoke to the graduating class at Harvard University and received an honorary degree.

Two "Easter Eggs" are also included on the DVD, these are the Bono Cam views of "Until the End of the World" and "Elevation" from 9 June 2001 in Boston. In fact the whole DVD/VHS although labelled as being from 6 June, is actually mixed footage from 5 and 6 June, with additional Bono cam footage from 9 June.

After U2's performance was filmed in Boston for the video release, producer Steve Lillywhite and engineer John Harris (of Effanel Music) created stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes of the concert. The band could not be physically present to give feedback, as they were still on tour, so guitarist the Edge collaborated remotely with Lillywhite and Harris on the mixes.
