U2 Performs 'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own' Live in Chicago

Venue: United Center Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States Date: 2005

In January 2005, during their Vertigo Tour, U2 performed live at the United Center in Chicago, showcasing their song "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own." This track is featured on their album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," which was released in November 2004, just a couple of months prior to this performance. The album was a commercial success, solidifying U2's status in the music industry and earning them multiple Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. The song itself is a poignant reflection of lead singer Bono's relationship with his late father, adding emotional depth to the live performance. As part of the Vertigo Tour, this concert exemplified U2's return to the live music scene with renewed energy, following the release of their blockbuster album. The performance was further immortalized in the concert film "Vertigo 2005: Live From Chicago," highlighting U2's significant impact during this period.
