After “Beautiful Day” won three Grammy Awards in 2001, U2 was back for more in 2002 as the rest of All That You Can’t Leave Behind received eight nominations in seven categories. After opening the show with a live performance of “Walk On”, U2 had taken home four more Grammys for a total of 14 in their 20+ years of making music — the most Grammy Awards ever won by one band.
