U2

This live recording of "With or Without You" captures a pivotal moment during U2's Zoo TV Tour, which ran from 1992 to 1993. At this point in their career, U2 had recently released the album "Achtung Baby" in 1991, a transformative work that marked their shift in sound and style. The Zoo TV Tour was a bold response to the evolving music landscape, featuring innovative multimedia elements and a blend of rock and technology. Performing in Sydney on October 27, 1993, the band showcased their signature blend of emotional depth and theatricality, reflecting the songs' themes of longing and disconnection. Interestingly, the tour was both a critical and commercial success, helping to re-establish U2 as a dominant force in the music industry during the early '90s, and solidifying their legacy as one of the greatest bands of their time.
