U2

In June 1986, during their notable Amnesty International tour, U2 took the stage at Giants Stadium to deliver a powerful performance of their hit 'Sun City.' This live recording comes just after the release of their album 'The Unforgettable Fire' in 1984, showcasing the band's evolving sound that blended rock with deeper social consciousness. Interestingly, the context of this performance highlighted U2's commitment to activism, particularly against apartheid, with Little Steven joining them on stage for this poignant anti-apartheid anthem. This period marked a significant moment in U2's career as they started gaining international acclaim not just for their music, but for their awareness and involvement in pressing global issues, further solidifying their role as a voice for change in the rock music scene.
