All That You Can’t Leave Behind 20th Anniversary Release

Original Story by Aaron J. Sams (2020-09-10)

The new All That You Can’t Leave Behind 20th anniversary edition is being released on October 30, 2020. Listings have been showing up on Amazon and other sites, and it is now available to pre-order in some digital store fronts. Although there hasn’t been an official announcement, these listings give us a picture of what is being released, including a stand alone 2-disc vinyl set, a stand alone CD, a 2-CD set with an edited live show on the second disc, and box sets including a 5-CD set and a huge 11-disc vinyl set.

The boxed set and deluxe digital editions will include the album, B-Sides and rarities from the original single releases, a live show taken from a performance in Boston in 2001, and a disc of remixes, including four new remixes:

  • “Walk On” (Wyclef Jean Remix) (04:43)
  • “When I Look at the World” (Picante Remix) (05:14)
  • “New York” (Carnegie’s Deli Remix) (07:05)
  • “New York” (Superman Kicks Ativan Remix) (07:31)

For those who haven’t been a member of the fan club for some time, this is the first commercial release of “Love You Like Mad,” “Flower Child” and “Levitate” in a physical format. However the three tracks were part of The Complete U2 on iTunes, and part of a fan club release in 2009.

The date of the concert recording is not revealed here. “Stay (Faraway, So Close!)” suggests that the show is the June 5, 2001 Elevation show. But previously the first and second show from Boston were released as a single concert on DVD. The live recording is being released in a 13-track and 19-track version in these various formats, so be careful when purchasing if you wish to have the full version.

All of the material is listed as being remastered in this set.

Below is what we know of the various formats.

The two disc version of the release contains an edited 13-track version of the live show, as opposed to the 19-track version available in the bigger sets. As some tracks have been edited out, several tracks appear to be different in length on this edited version. These tracks with a different length are marked with an asterisk above. Those not marked appear to be the same length on both versions.

The live show is missing “Mysterious Ways” and “Pride (In the Name of Love)” which were performed on most nights of the Elevation tour. Based on the setlist, if this is a single show, it would be the June 5, 2001 show, although it could easily be an edit of two shows (or more) like the DVD released in 2001.
