Adam, Larry, Edge and Bono pick up four more Grammy Awards for All That YouCan't Leave Behind at the 2002 Grammy Awards.

Walk On gets the big one - Record of the Year - while All That You Can'tLeave Behind is named Best Rock Album, and Stuck in a Moment That You Can'tGet Out Of is named 'Best Song by a Pop Duo or Group' and Elevation winsBest Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

On the night Alicia Keys also wins big, taking five including 'Best Song'for Fallin', as well as 'best new artist' and three R&B awards. The bigsurprises is the Best Album award going to the film soundtrack for O BrotherWhere Art Thou ?

U2 win Record Of The Year for Walk On, which they perform to open theceremony, backed by gospel star Kirk Franklin. The band, which won the sameaward last year with "Beautiful Day," is the first act to win back-to-backRecord Of The Year trophies since Roberta Flack scored in the early '70s.

In accepting the award, Bono explains that inspiration is vital to themaking of a great recording. "It's a gift more than a craft," he says,before paraphrasing Quincy Jones' famous line about the need to leave alittle space in the recording studio "for God to walk through the room."

The awards mean that All That You Can't Leave Behind has now won a total ofseven Grammy's, with four different tracks - Beautiful Day won three awardslast year.

Describing the band as "pushing a rock up a hill" in 2000, Bono says U2 area band "desperate to be relevant rather than successful."

Commenting on the success of the recent Elevation tour, he adds, "When thiscountry takes you to its heart, it's an extraordinary feeling ... These havebeen testy times for America, so we know you didn't take just anyone to yourheart."
