Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
The set’s deep cuts interrupt the expected parade of hits, but its varied repertoire makes for a stronger document of the performance than a tightly shaped album arc.
What we noticed
- “Life on Mars?” opens the set; “Rebel Rebel” closes it, with the newer “Hours” songs threaded between older catalog tracks rather than grouped together.
- The set places less frequently played songs such as “Can’t Help Thinking About Me” and “Repetition” alongside familiar staples, so its shape keeps shifting between deep cuts and anthems.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
