    In the live recording of "One" from November 30, 2004, U2 was deep into their Vertigo Tour, which supported their recent album, *How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb* released in November 2004. This was a significant period in U2’s career as they had experienced a resurgence with the renewed popularity of their music, evidenced by the success of *How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb*, which won several Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. The performance of "One," a track originally from their acclaimed 1991 album *Achtung Baby*, reflects the band's enduring legacy and the timeless quality of their music. Notably, "One" is often regarded as one of U2’s most iconic songs, addressing themes of unity and belonging, which resonated deeply during this tour, especially following the tragic events of 9/11, emphasizing the band's role as both musicians and social commentators.
