U2

In December 1997, U2 was riding high on the waves of their ambitious 'Pop' album, which had been released in March of that year. The 'PopMart Tour' was in full swing, showcasing their innovative sound and visually striking stage design that combined elements of pop culture and art. This live performance of 'Last Night on Earth,' captured during the tour in Mexico City, emphasizes U2's ability to connect deeply with their audience while experimenting with new genres. Interestingly, the PopMart Tour was notable not just for the music but also for its extravagant setup, including a massive illuminated arch and a giant video screen. The combination of these elements helped cement U2's reputation as a dazzling live act, proving they could reinvent themselves while still staying true to their roots.
