U2

In November 2005, U2 was deep into their 'Vertigo' tour, which was in support of their album, 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb', released just a year earlier. This album marked a significant point in their career, bringing them back to a raw, rock sound reminiscent of their earlier works while still incorporating their signature anthemic style. 'Vertigo' itself emerged as a standout track, not only capturing audiences with its pulsating energy but also earning U2 a Grammy award. This live performance at The Arena in Oakland showcased their electrifying stage presence, as well as their ability to connect deeply with fans. Interestingly, the song's unforgettable intro has become iconic, often synonymous with the band's ability to create an instant connection with the audience, making every performance feel uniquely special.
