U2

In November 1992, U2 was riding high on the wave of their groundbreaking album 'Achtung Baby', which had been released just weeks earlier. The band was on their ZOO TV Tour, a visually extravagant series of shows that pushed the boundaries of live performance and multimedia engagement. This particular live recording in Sydney reflects a transformative period for U2, as they shifted from their earlier, more earnest sound to embrace a rawer and more experimental style. 'Stay (Faraway, So Close!)', a poignant track from the album, showcases Bono's powerful vocals and the band's tight musical synergy. Fun fact: this concert was notable not just for its electrifying atmosphere but also for being part of U2's artistic re-invention, marking a shift in their image and sound that would resonate throughout the '90s.
