U2

On July 4, 1987, U2 delivered a powerful performance of "BAD" during their concert at the Hippodrome de Vincennes in Paris, part of The Joshua Tree Tour. The album, released just a few months earlier in March of that year, marked a significant turning point in their career, solidifying them as one of the premier rock bands of their time. "The Joshua Tree" not only featured anthems like "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," but it also reflected U2's passionate engagement with themes of social justice and spirituality. Interestingly, the emotional weight of this live recording encapsulates the band's evolving artistry, as they began to draw deeper connections with their audience, turning each performance into a shared experience. This concert is often highlighted for its raw energy and the band's commitment to conveying heartfelt messages through their music.
