U2 Live Performance of Bad at Super Bowl 2002
On February 3, 2002, during the Superbowl performance in New Orleans, U2 found themselves in a transformative moment in their career. Just months after the emotional turmoil of 9/11, they delivered a powerful tribute to the victims, starting with 'Beautiful Day' and transitioning into the poignant 'MLK.' Leading up to this performance, U2 had released their album 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' in 2000, which included heartfelt tracks that resonated deeply with global listeners. The album solidified their return to form, emphasizing themes of hope and renewal. This live performance, infused with raw emotion and urgency, further established U2 as not just entertainers, but as artists with a mission, uniting audiences with a profound sense of remembrance and resilience.
