The stripped-down Elevation stage: no Lemon, no Zoo TV irony, just four guys and 20,000 believers.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed three months before 9/11 but released two months after, making Bono's between-song monologues about America accidentally prophetic.
The heart-shaped stage was designed so no seat was more than 70 feet from the band—Bono literally walked through the crowd during 'Until The End of the World.'
