U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle, Ireland is a concert video release by rock band U2 from the European leg of their Elevation Tour. Recorded on 1 September 2001 at Slane Castle on the band's featured stop in County Meath, Ireland, it was released on DVD in November 2003. Although Slane Concerts at Slane Castle are traditionally held once a year, U2 played two concerts. This was the final concert of the first European leg of the Elevation Tour.

The film features the band playing Slane to more than 80,000 people, the second of two concerts played at Slane Castle on the Elevation Tour. The performances were the band's first at Slane since 1981 when they opened for Thin Lizzy. Bono had lost his father to cancer several days before the concert. Their first night at Slane was a day after his father was buried. U2 Go Home was filmed on Saturday 1 September 2001 the same day Ireland secured a place in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. The match was shown to the football-crazy Irish crowd at Slane Castle prior to the concert, adding to the already festive air.

While they've become one of the biggest bands in the entire world, U2 have always maintained a special relationship with their fans in their native Ireland, and this concert video records the riotous yet deeply emotional reception the band received when they played two massive concerts (drawing 80,000 fans each) at Slane Castle in Dublin in the Summer of 2001. U2 Go Home: Live At Slane Castle features the songs Elevation , Beautiful Day , Desire , Where The Streets Have No Name , Pride (In The Name Of Love) , With Or Without You , Sunday Bloody Sunday , Bullet The Blue Sky , and many more. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
