Wiki.

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.

During the 6 June concert, some fans in the crowd sat down in protest due to a disagreement over others being handpicked from the general admission queue prior to the show. Two songs from the concert were televised that day on NBC during halftime of Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals. For the concert's release on home video later that year, a promotional agreement was reached with media partners consisting of DirecTV, VH1, Clear Channel Communications, and Best Buy, who agreed to commit US$10 million to market the video. Best Buy was given a two-week exclusivity window in which to sell the video in North America, before its wide release on 4 December. Many retailers reacted negatively to the exclusivity agreement, believing it would affect their own sales.

Elevation 2001 received favourable reviews from critics. It received multi-platinum certifications in Canada, France, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The video sold 700,000 copies by the beginning of 2002 and won the award for Best Music Release DVD at the 5th Annual DVD Entertainment Conference and Showcase. The first disc of the DVD set contains the standard concert footage, while the second disc contains alternate video feeds from a small camera in lead vocalist Bono's trademark glasses, among other bonus features.
