Super Bowl XXXVI halftime show, February 3, 2002
The first Super Bowl after the September 11 attacks needed a show that meant something, and U2 delivered one. The set is just three big songs, "Beautiful Day," "MLK" and "Where the Streets Have No Name," while the names of the victims are projected onto a screen behind the band. It is the rare halftime show that works as a memorial without losing its rock energy, and it lands harder watched in one sitting than in clips.
