Location: Mexico City, Mexico Date: November 30, 1996

In this electrifying performance captured on November 30, 1996, U2 showcased 'If You Wear That Velvet Dress' from their 1997 album 'Pop'. Just prior to this live recording, U2 had released 'Zooropa' in 1993, which marked a significant shift in their sound, blending rock with electronic influences. The Band was in the midst of their ambitious PopMart Tour, which was notable for its extravagant stage design and eye-catching visual elements, pushing the boundaries of a traditional concert experience. Interestingly, the 'Pop' album introduced a more experimental vibe, embracing themes of consumerism and love, which resonated deeply with fans. At this point in their careers, U2 was redefining their artistry, proving they weren't afraid to evolve and take risks, making their live shows not just concerts, but memorable events that left an indelible mark on their audience.
