U2

On June 15, 1986, U2 performed live at Giants Stadium for their iconic 'The Joshua Tree' Tour, an era that marked a significant turning point in their career. Just prior to this performance, they released 'The Unforgettable Fire' in 1984, which showcased their evolving sound and experimentation with atmospheric music. Interestingly, this concert took place during a time when U2 was gaining immense popularity, particularly in the U.S., captivated by their powerful messages and political themes. 'MLK' and 'Pride (In the Name of Love)' highlight the band's dedication to social issues, reflecting the fervor of the 1980s civil rights movement. The performance not only solidified their status as rock legends but also demonstrated their commitment to integrating their art with profound messages, which has remained a hallmark of U2 throughout their career.
