U2

In 2005, U2 was riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," which had been released just a few months earlier, in November 2004. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a stripped-back sound in contrast to their earlier, more experimental work. The live performance of "Original of the Species" in Milan was part of their Vertigo Tour, a tour that solidified their reputation for electrifying live shows. Interesting fact: this track is a heartfelt ode to love and connection, blending emotional depth with U2's signature sound. It’s thrilling to think about the energy in the crowd that day, as U2 brought their powerful message and stage presence to life. It’s moments like these that underscore why U2 has remained both iconic and influential in the music world.
