U2 - 2000-12-05 - Irving Plaza, NY (SBD)

Here’s our 2nd post this month featuring U2. It’s also our 3rd post today featuring a concert from New York City! In the fall of 2000, U2 launched a series of promotional events designed to promote their latest release, All That You Can’t Leave Behind. The events all set the stage for the following year’s Elevation tour, which we have featured on numerous occasions on this blog. The promotional activities included numerous radio broadcasts in the US and UK, as well as appearances on MTV’s TRL, Saturday Night Live and the MTV European VMA awards. The band also played 2 free concerts, for audiences of about 100 people, one in New York and one in London. This FM broadcast captures the 1st of those 2 shows, at Irving Plaza in New York City, on December 5, 2000, a dozen years ago today.  Download this one to hear U2 warm up for what would become the most legendary, and emotional, tour of their storied career.  One final note - according to this article, U2 also used this show to pay tribute to at least 15 other rock acts, including Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, The Who, The Ramones, The Monkees  and The Rolling Stones.
