U2
are an Irish
rock
band from Dublin, formed in 1976. The group consists of
Bono
(lead vocals and rhythm guitar),
the Edge
(lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals),
Adam Clayton
(bass guitar), and
Larry Mullen Jr.
(drums and percussion). Initially rooted in
post-punk
, U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's
effects
-based guitar
textures
. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several ambitious and elaborate tours over their career.
All That You Can't Leave Behind
and Elevation Tour (1998–2002)

Following the mixed success of their musical pursuits in the 1990s, U2 sought to simplify their sound; the Edge said that with
Pop
, the group had "taken the deconstruction of the rock 'n' roll band format to its absolute 'nth degree".
[182]
For their tenth album,
All That You Can't Leave Behind
, the group wanted to return to their old recording ethos of "the band in a room playing together".
[182]
Reuniting with Eno and Lanois, U2 began working on the album in late 1998.
[182]
[183]
After their experiences with being pressured to complete
Pop
, the band were content to work without deadlines.
[182]
With Bono's schedule limited by his commitments to debt relief for
Jubilee 2000
and the other band members spending time with their families, the recording sessions stretched through August 2000.
[182]
[184]
Released in October of that year,
All That You Can't Leave Behind
was seen by critics as a "back to basics" album,
[185]
on which the group returned to a more mainstream, conventional rock sound.
[182]
[186]
For many of those not won over by the band's forays into dance music, it was considered a return to grace;
[187]
[188]
Rolling Stone
called it U2's "third masterpiece" alongside
The Joshua Tree
and
Achtung Baby
.
[189]
The album debuted at number one in 32 countries
[190]
and sold 12 million copies.
[191]
Its lead single, "
Beautiful Day
", was a worldwide hit, reaching number one in Ireland, the UK, Australia, and Canada, while peaking at number 21 in the US.
[192]
The song won Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal,
Song of the Year
, and
Record of the Year
.
[193]
At the awards ceremony, Bono declared that U2 were "reapplying for the job ... [of] the best band in the world".
[194]
The album's other singles were worldwide hits as well; "
Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of
", "
Elevation
", and "
Walk On
" reached number one in Canada,
[195]
while charting in the top five in the UK and top ten in Australia.

[196]
After the elaborate stadium productions of their previous two tours, U2's 2001
Elevation Tour
was a scaled-down affair that featured a heart-shaped stage.
The band's 2001
Elevation Tour
commenced in March, visiting North America and Europe across three legs.
[197]
For the tour, U2 performed on a scaled-down stage, returning to arenas after nearly a decade of stadium productions.
[188]
Mirroring the album's themes of "emotional contact, connection, and communication", the tour's set was designed to afford the group greater proximity to their fans;
[198]
a heart-shaped catwalk around the stage encircled many audience members,
[199]
and
festival seating
was offered in the US for the first time in the group's history.
[200]
During the tour, U2 headlined a pair of
Slane Concerts
in Ireland, playing to crowds of 80,000.
[201]
[202]
Following the
September 11 attacks
in the US,
All That You Can't Leave Behind
found added resonance with American audiences,
[203]
as the album climbed in the charts and songs such as "Walk On" and "
Peace on Earth
" garnered radio airplay.
[204]
In October, U2 performed at
Madison Square Garden
in New York City for the first time since the attacks. Bono and the Edge said these shows were among their most memorable and emotional performances.
[203]
[205]
The Elevation Tour was the top-earning North American tour of 2001 with a gross of US9.7 million, the second-most ever at the time for a North American tour.
[206]
Globally, it grossed US3.5 million from 2.18 million tickets sold,
[207]
making it the year's highest-grossing tour overall.
[208]
Spin
named U2 the "Band of the Year" for 2001, saying they had "schooled bands half their age about what a rock show could really accomplish".
[188]
On 3 February 2002, U2 performed during the
Super Bowl XXXVI halftime show
. In a tribute to those who died in the September 11 attacks, the victims' names were projected onto a backdrop, and at the end, Bono opened his jacket to reveal an American flag in the lining.
[209]
Sports Illustrated
,
Rolling Stone
, and
USA Today
ranked the band's performance as the best halftime show in Super Bowl history.
[210]
Later that month, U2 received four additional Grammy Awards;
All That You Can't Leave Behind
won
Best Rock Album
, while "Walk On" was named Record of the Year, marking the first time an artist had won the latter award in consecutive years for songs from the same album.
[211]
In November 2002, the band released their second compilation,
The Best of 1990–2000
, which featured several remixed 1990s songs and two new tracks, including the single "
Electrical Storm
".

Provenance:
I was the Music Director for my college radio station in 1993 & 1994. That meant I got to open the mail everyday and had a look at all the oddities and promo items the record companies would spend money on to get us to pay attention to their product and to maybe play it on air. I kept a few of the things that the station had no use for - which meant, in the age of CDs, I kept the interesting vinyl and posters. I was not necessarily interested in the music, I kept the item because it seemed novel or unique - mainly for a colored vinyl, or cool cover, or famous artist.
I didn't own a record player then, so I never played any of the vinyl. When I went home for the semester it was put in my parents' basement in a box, where it stayed until now, because the house is being sold. The basement was dry, clean, non-smoking, and climate controlled.
These records are assured to be mint and unplayed, because I'm the only one who ever touched them - opened the mail at the station, to my room, to the basement, to my place now for shipment.
