We spoke to Adam Clayton ahead of U2's Elevation Tour concert in Slane back in 2001.

Opening our U2 special, DERMOD MOORE catches up with ADAM CLAYTON during the UK leg of the Elevation tour, and delves deep into the physics of music celebrity, politics and, er, penises

DERMOD MOORE: Did you enjoy last night?

ADAM CLAYTON: It's always nerve-wracking playing at home - and I guess Manchester is kind of a home crowd. But I have to say that the audience were as noisy and as committed as any we’ve encountered in Europe, so it was actually a great homecoming. It's the first one out of the way; but it's a kind of a bit of a roll from now until Slane.
