U2

On November 12, 1987, U2 performed "All Along The Watchtower" at Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco, part of their monumental "Joshua Tree Tour." This live rendition came shortly after the release of the iconic album "The Joshua Tree," which had hit the shelves earlier that year. The album catapulted the band into superstardom, showcasing their signature blend of rock and spiritual themes while addressing political and social issues. Interestingly, during this time, U2's frontman Bono was becoming increasingly recognized not just as a musician, but as a global humanitarian. The powerful energy of their live performances, especially during this period, captivated fans and solidified their reputation as one of the most influential bands of their era.
