U2

In early 1998, U2 was deep into their Popmart Tour, following the release of their album "Pop" in March 1997. The band had taken a bold artistic leap with this record, blending electronic sounds and exploring themes of consumerism and identity. This live show in Buenos Aires, recorded on February 6, 1998, captures the energy and spectacle that defined the Popmart era, with its iconic massive screen and flashy visuals. Interestingly, the Popmart Tour was noteworthy for its ambitious scale, showcasing new hits like "Discothèque" alongside deep cuts, reflecting their willingness to experiment in both sound and presentation. This period was a turning point for U2, as they navigated both musical innovation and public perception, setting the stage for their later work.
