U2

In May 2008, U2 was riding high on the success of their album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," which had been released in 2004 and solidified their place as rock legends in the industry. Just a few years prior, they’d crafted beloved hits like "City of Blinding Lights" and "Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own," both resonating with themes of hope and resilience—emotions that undoubtedly echoed through their live performances. By the time of this Taipei concert, U2 had enhanced their reputation for electrifying live shows, where Bono's passionate lyrics intertwined with anthemic music, making audiences feel truly united. Interestingly, this live cover of "One"—a quintessential U2 song about unity and connection—harkens back to a long-standing legacy of their emotive storytelling in music. It’s a reminder of the band’s ability to transcend cultural barriers, captivating audiences across the globe.
