U2 Live at Superbowl 2002 - Performance of Beautiful Day, MLK, and Where the Streets Have No Name

Venue: Louisiana Superdome Location: New Orleans, Louisiana, United States Date: February 3, 2002

On February 3, 2002, U2 delivered a breathtaking performance during the Super Bowl halftime show at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. This live recording came just a few months after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'All That You Can't Leave Behind,' which dropped in October 2000. The themes of hope and resilience in that album resonated beautifully with the emotional weight of the event, especially since it was held just months after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. U2's choice to perform 'Beautiful Day' and 'Where the Streets Have No Name' added layers of meaning, making their music a powerful statement of unity and perseverance during a challenging time in recent history. Coincidentally, this electrifying performance marked their first Super Bowl appearance, solidifying their status as global rock icons.
