U2 Elevation Tour Leg 3 US 2001

The third and final Elevation tour leg will travel the US up and down once again. This is what they call "US Return Leg" as we can see on the cover of this itinerary book.

A very simple red cover includes also one picture per each U2 member in an image that recalls the 4 screens used on the tour.

I have found two different versions of this book: One with laminated cover...the other with unlaminated cover. Both come from very reliable sources so my bet is that the 2 versions are original.



According to the itinerary book, tour should end at Los Angeles Staples Center on November 19th. The truth is that 8 more shows were added after the book had been printed. The last Elevation tour gig was finally in Miami on December 2nd.

Group and management arrived in the U.S. on October 7th and they were rehearsing on the 8th and 9th before opening the tour on the 10th.

This first show was broadcasted on internet.

This leg was right after September 11th but U2 decided to go ahead with their tour plans instead of cancelling their gigs. The result was a leg full of emotions and amazing feelings. The three Madison Square Garden shows were very special and plenty FDNY and NYPD tributes were held.

While in Los Angeles they used 3 different hotels.

A US map is included in the book.

Bono and Adam Clayton signed this book for me when the i+e tour visited Barcelona in October 2015.
