U2's first commercial breakthrough was in 1983, and the band has experienced continued success that few others have ever seen. Steadily, the band has grown its audience exponentially over the past three decades. With each new release, U2 would explore new and exciting themes- but would never lose sight of its core values.
After the release of their 1997 album Pop, Irish rockers U2 staged their biggest and most ambitious stage show to date, the Popmart tour, which found the band using broad theatrics and elaborate effects to bring a witty, intelligent, but emotionally compelling message to stadium-size audiences. This week, we'll go back and listen to one of the shows from that tour- an electrifying show recorded live in Mexico City!
Here's a portion of the set list for this week's show:
(in no particular order)
One
New Year's Day
With Or Without You
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Where The Streets Have No Name
Mysterious Ways
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

We'll also hear live performances by Sammy Hagar- recorded live in St. Louis, MO in July of 2006,
Guns 'N Roses- recorded live in their prime in Tokyo, Japan in February of 1992,
and we'll hear Traffic recorded live in Germany in April of 1973.
