"Elevation" sits third on All That You Can't Leave Behind, U2's 2000 album and their tenth, and this is the Tomb Raider mix, the different version that went onto the soundtrack of the 2001 film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Brian Eno produced, and the song is the band at their most strutting and elastic.
It followed "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" as the third single on June 25, 2001, and it flew: U2's 16th number one in Ireland, a chart-topper in Canada, and a top-10 hit from the UK and Spain to Norway and Australia. It won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 2002 and lent its name to the band's 2001 Elevation Tour.
