U2

In this electrifying performance of "Mysterious Ways" from the Popmart tour in Santiago on October 7, 1998, U2 was riding high on the success of their album "Pop," which was released earlier that same year. The tour itself was quite a spectacle, marked by its grand visuals and unique stage design, reflecting the band's ambition to push musical and artistic boundaries. This concert came at a pivotal moment in U2's evolution, showcasing their willingness to experiment with sound and performance. Interestingly, "Mysterious Ways" was one of the standout tracks that truly resonated with fans, in part due to its infectious groove and the unforgettable guitar riff, which would go on to define much of the late '90s U2 sound. Plus, the inclusion of snippets like "My Sweet Lord" during the performance hints at their playful interaction with music history.
