U2

In November 1992, U2 took the stage in Basel for a memorable live performance that was part of their ambitious "Zoo TV" tour. Just before this recording, the band had released their iconic album "Achtung Baby" in late 1991, which marked a significant sonic evolution for them. This album embraced a more experimental aesthetic, blending rock with alternative and electronic elements. The live show was infused with theatrical flair, reflecting the band's exploration of media and identity during this era. Interestingly, the politically charged atmosphere of the early '90s found its way into U2's performances; Bono often used his platform to raise awareness about social issues. As the remastered video showcases, this concert wasn't just a performance—it was a statement, encapsulating a pivotal moment in U2's career as they redefined their sound and image.
