U2

In this electrifying performance from November 30, 1997, U2 delivered 'With Or Without You' during their PopMart Tour in São Paulo, Brazil. This period in U2's career was marked by their album 'Pop,' which had been released earlier that year. 'Pop' showcased a bold exploration of electronic sounds and themes of disillusionment, reflecting the band's willingness to innovate and push boundaries. An interesting nugget about this era is how the song encapsulates deep emotional struggles—something frontman Bono often articulated in live settings, resonating with audiences worldwide. The São Paulo show was a key moment during a tour known for its massive production and elaborate stage design, capturing U2 at a time when they were redefining their musical identity while still holding on to the raw passion that made them legends.
