U2

In October 1997, U2 delivered an electrifying live performance of "Gone" during their PopMart Tour in Mexico City. This was just after the release of their album "Pop," which came out earlier that same year and marked a shift towards a more experimental sound, incorporating elements of electronic and dance music. The PopMart Tour itself was notable for its ambitious stage design, featuring a massive golden arch and innovative visual displays. Interestingly, by this time, U2 was already wresting with the complexities of fame and commercial success, as they strived to challenge their musical identity. The excitement of the crowd in that vibrant Mexican atmosphere reflects U2's magnetic stage presence, showcasing their ability to connect deeply with their audience, both sonically and emotionally.
