All That You Can't Leave Behind
U2
By Maeve C.
Dublin studios including Windmill Lane, Westland and HQ hosted most of the sessions for All That You Can’t Leave Behind, with further work in the south of France. Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois produced, and Steve Lillywhite was among those credited with additional production.
Its first four tracks were all singles. “Beautiful Day” came out three weeks before the album and became U2’s fourth UK number one, and “Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of”, “Elevation” and “Walk On” followed during 2001. The second half runs through “Kite”, “New York” and “Peace On Earth” to the closing “Grace”.
