Right: The band U2 WAS just one of many new groups on the rock music
scene in the early 1980s, but less than ten years later, U2 HAD
fully ECLIPSED its early rivals in the pantheon of popular music.
The first independent clause uses simple past. The second independent clause
(after the word but) contains a time marker (ten years later) and then mentions
another action (had eclipsed) that occurs before that time marker. Even though
had eclipsed is not the earliest action in the entire sentence, it is the earlier of the
two actions in its independent clause. This complex construction is correct.
In the explanation given above, which two actions in the independent clause are being referred to while clarifying use of "had eclipsed" ?

There are not two actions. The mention of "two actions" is an error in the explanation.
There are the time marker "less than ten years later" and the clause "U2 had eclipsed."
"Had eclipsed" precedes "less than ten years later."
