U2

In 'Where The Streets Have No Name', recorded live on October 20, 1987, U2 was riding the wave of their hugely successful album 'The Joshua Tree', released earlier that year. This album not only catapulted them into international stardom, but it also reflected their deep engagement with social issues and personal struggles, which resonated with fans around the globe. The live performance is rich with the band's signature energy, capturing the raw emotions tied to their music. Interestingly, 'Rattle and Hum', the album accompanying this performance, was a mix of live tracks and original compositions, aimed at giving fans an authentic experience of U2's evolving sound. This period marked a significant transition for the band, where they sought to blend their rock roots with greater social consciousness, making it a pivotal time in their career.
