U2 Performance of Until the End of the World at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Venue: Waldorf Astoria New York Location: New York, New York, United States Date: March 14, 2005

In March 2005, U2 delivered a powerful performance of "Until the End of the World" at the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. This performance came right after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," which dropped in late 2004, showcasing the band's evolution into a mature rock powerhouse while still holding onto their anthemic essence. Interestingly, this performance coincided with U2's long-established reputation for merging music with social and political commentary, making the song's themes of faith and betrayal even more poignant in a live setting. Beyond the music, the band's inclusion in the Rock Hall underscored their impact on the rock genre and their journey in the industry, spanning over two decades at that point.
