On July 2001 Elevation tour reaches Europe for a series of 33 shows all around the "old continent".
As the one I showed for the US, this leg's itinerary is also very simple in terms of design . Red cover with big U2 sign and a white "U2 Itinerary Europe" text together with a tiny switcase logo.
According to the book the three final shows on this leg (2 in Glasgow plus a 2nd concert at Slane Castle) were still TBA (To be announced).
U2 travel from their holiday houses to Copenhagen on July 6th, the same day of the european opening show.
Berlin, Torino and Slane Castle shows were the only outdoor nights of this tour. Some parts of the stage (mainly the heart) were modified in order to fit this new kind of venues.
Nice and London were the 2 cities where the band spent more time on this european leg.
U2 had planned to fly on helicopter for a rehearsal at Slane Castle on Friday August 24th but I'm not sure if it ever really happened.
On September 6th, once the tour was over, MTV Video Music Awards were held in NY so what they call Promotional Team flew to the US again to attend the awards gala. The band was included in that Team and they performed playing an Elevation/Stuck in a Moment meddley. After that , they all were officially on holidays.
This book was signed by Bono and Adam Clayton in Barcelona in October 2015 when U2 were in the city for the i+e tour.
