In 1997, the band opened for U2 on their PopMart Tour, for which all Rage's profits went to support social organizations including U.N.I.T.E. , Women Alive and the Zapatista Front for National Liberation.

Rage subsequently began an abortive headlining US tour with special guests Wu-Tang Clan.

Police in several jurisdictions unsuccessfully attempted to have the concerts canceled, citing amongst other reasons, the bands' "violent and anti-law enforcement philosophies."

Wu-Tang Clan were eventually removed from the line-up and replaced with The Roots.

On the Japan leg of their tour promoting Evil Empire, a bootleg album composed of the band's B-side recordings titled Live & Rare was released by Sony Records.

A live video, also titled Rage Against the Machine, was released later the same year.
