U2

In November 2000, U2 delivered a powerful performance of 'Walk On' during a pivotal time in their career. This live recording comes just a few months before the release of their album 'All That You Can't Leave Behind,' which dropped in October 2000. This particular album marked a triumphant return to the band's roots, featuring themes of hope and resilience, making it a fitting backdrop for a song like 'Walk On.' Interestingly, 'Walk On' was inspired by the struggles of Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi, reinforcing U2's commitment to social and political issues—a hallmark of their identity. By the time they took the stage in Boston in 2001, U2 was not only celebrating their past successes but also igniting excitement for this new chapter, which would ultimately win them several Grammy Awards and solidify their legacy in rock music.
