U2 Live in Chile 1998 - Popmart Tour Highlights at Estadio Nacional

Venue: Estadio Nacional Location: Santiago, Región Metropolitana, Chile Date: February 11, 1998

In February 1998, U2 was in the midst of their PopMart Tour when they performed a memorable concert at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile. This performance came shortly after the release of their album 'Pop,' which debuted in March 1997 and marked a shift in the band's sonic landscape, incorporating more electronic influences and dance elements. The tour itself was a spectacle, featuring a massive lemon-shaped screen and a giant mirror-ball sun that reflected their evolving artistic vision. Notably, the PopMart Tour was both a commercial success and a critical analysis of consumerism, a theme that resonated throughout the band's works during this period. Songs like 'Mofo' and 'Gone' featured in this live set not only captured the energy of the band but also highlighted their willingness to experiment, pushing boundaries as they continued to solidify their place in rock history.
