U2

In July 1997, U2 was in the midst of their ambitious PopMart tour, supporting their album 'Pop,' which had been released earlier that year. This era marked a significant turning point for the band, as they ventured into a more experimental sound with electronic influences and critical lionization for their bold, sprawling stage productions. The live recording from Feijenoord Stadion captures the energy of a band at a crossroads, showcasing hits like 'Discotheque' and 'Staring at the Sun' against a backdrop of extravagant visuals and provocative themes. Interesting twists during this time included the mixed reviews for 'Pop,' a departure from their earlier work, yet it solidified U2's dedication to reinventing themselves and pushing boundaries in music and performance art.
