Elevation means how high something is. In the mountains, the high elevations are the mountain peaks where nothing grows. The low elevations are the valleys at the bottoms of the mountains, where plants grow and people and many animals find what they need to survive.

"Elevation" is the third track and third single release from U2's 2000 album, All That You Can't Leave Behind. Featuring a thunderous beat, a variety of sound effects on the central guitar riff, and an easy rhyming lyric for the audience to shout along with, it was highly effective in that concert-starting role and became a hit in the United States and the United Kingdom. Thus it was used as the concert opener during the Elevation Tour and near the beginning of shows in the subsequent Vertigo Tour.

Elevation is the progressive bluegrass debut album of the Yonder Mountain String Band. It was released in 1999 by Frog Pad Records, an independent record label run by the band. The album features appearances by bluegrass musicians Mike Marshall and Darol Anger.
