U2

In December 1998, when this live performance of "Bad" and "All I Want Is You" took place in Santiago, U2 was in the midst of their PopMart Tour, which followed the release of their 1997 album, "Pop." The Pop album showcased a bold sonic experimentation along with themes that touched on consumerism and spirituality, making it a distinctive album in U2's career. Interestingly, the PopMart Tour included a massive, iconic stage setup featuring a huge golden arch and an inflatable olive, symbolizing the band's ongoing blend of theatricality and music. Bono's passionate performance in this video reflects not only the energy of the moment but also U2's evolution as they continued to capture global audiences with their sound and messages. The amalgamation of these elements at this Santiago concert truly encapsulates the spirit of late '90s U2.
