U2 "ELEVATION TOUR" PARIS 2001
I was in Paris in July 2001. I was married at the time. The "Elevation Tour" did not come to Brazil.
The musicians wanted to do a different show from mega structure used in the "PopMart Tour" (I saw this show at Morumbi in São Paulo).
They did not wanted to play in stadiums.They prefered to play in places as Madison Square Garden.
In Paris, they played at the Palais Omnisports.
It was to be only one show and, of course, the tickets were sold out.
Reading a magazine in the city, I discovered that the group was going to do another show at the Palais Omnisports. I thought, "it does not hurt to try to find some tickets". So we went to a Virgin Megastore and we bought the tickets. The plan worked. No problem.
Arriving at the Palais Omnisports, another good surprise: there were no queues. It was a super quiet and small place.
We could see the musicians (very) close - especially since there was a huge heart that was connected to the main stage where The Edge and Bono spent most of the time.
It was a wonderful show with all the "hits" of the band and yet with the new ones: "All That You Can not Leave Behind" as the beautiful "Beautiful Day", "Walk On", "Elevation" and "Stuck in a Moment ".
