U2

In June 1985, U2 was riding the wave of their ascendant popularity, having released their album "The Unforgettable Fire" just the previous year. This album marked a significant shift for the band, showcasing a more experimental sound with lush production and steered by producer Brian Eno. The track "I Will Follow," a fan favorite and a staple in their live performances, exemplifies their early energetic spirit and lyrical depth. The live recording from Croke Park during the Unforgettable Fire Tour captures a defining moment when U2 was starting to transcend their post-punk roots, engaging audiences on a monumental scale. Fun fact: this performance took place in their hometown, adding a layer of emotional intensity as they connected with local fans. The tour propelled U2 into the global spotlight, setting the stage for their legendary status in rock history.
