U2

In this live performance at the Waldbühne in Berlin on July 29, 2001, U2 was deep into their 'Elevation' tour, promoting their album 'All That You Can't Leave Behind,' which had been released the previous year. This album was a significant return to form for the band, reestablishing their connection to a broader audience after the more experimental sounds of the '90s. The 'Elevation' tour showcased U2's renewed focus on their classic anthemic sound, which resonated deeply with fans. Interestingly, during this phase, the band was recognized not just for their music, but also for their philanthropic efforts. They had a knack for infusing their performances with both emotion and activism, often supporting causes like human rights, which added an engaging layer to live shows like this one.
