About: A little about me, I was bitten with the U2 obsession in 1991 with the release of Achtung Baby. Although I’ve known about U2 since the mid 80’s it wasn’t until the AB album that I was hooked. AB was the very first (and only) album that I had ever owned that I played straight through without hating a single song. I truly love every song on that album. Even today that album seems so fresh.
My online activities, I'm curator of several U2 related sites: U2exit.com, U2torrents.com, U2fansites.com, and U2radio.com. I've maintained a U2 fan site in some form since the late 1990's.See Authors Posts (2587) on Aug 21, 2001 in Elevation - 2nd Leg - Europe, Elevation Tour | Comments Off

Remarks:
Bob Hewson, Bono’s father, passed away early in the morning on the day of this concert. Bono was at his father’s bedside in Dublin at the time, but still flew to London to perform this gig. He was visibly emotional during the concert. During Beautiful Day, he sung “another soul leaves the world, my old man” at the end, and dedicated Kite to his father, stating that “he’s no longer ill … he’s free”. On a statistical note, this show featured what is currently the last performance of 11 O’Clock Tick Tock.
