U2 Live Performance of Sunday Bloody Sunday at PopMart in Mexico City
In late 1996, U2 was riding high on the momentum of their album 'Pop,' released earlier that same year. This live performance of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' during the PopMart tour captures a moment when the band was both exploring new sonic territories and reconnecting with powerful political themes from their past. Performing in Mexico City on November 30, they infused this anthem from their 1983 album 'War' with fresh intensity, reminding fans of the ongoing relevance of its message about conflict and peace. Interesting tidbit: the PopMart tour was notable not just for its music but also for its extravagant stage design, featuring a giant golden arch and a massive video screen, making every show a visual spectacle. Plus, this concert underscored U2's ability to bridge generations, connecting classic tracks with their innovative style of the '90s.
