U2

On February 3, 2002, U2 delivered a powerful performance during the Super Bowl Halftime Show in the Louisiana Superdome, just a few months after the release of their album 'All That You Can't Leave Behind.' This album, which had launched in October 2000, marked a significant return to form for the band, showcasing their classic sound and poignant lyricism. During the performance, they played 'Beautiful Day' and 'MLK,' using the opportunity to honor the memory of 9/11 victims—a poignant reminder of both the band's impact and the emotional climate of the time. This performance was also memorable as it was one of the band's first major public appearances after the tragic events of 2001, reinforcing their role not just as entertainers but also as voices of resilience and hope.
