Neutral Milk Hotel
Neutral Milk Hotel Live at Black Cat, Washington DC - 1998 Concert Performance
In July 1998, Neutral Milk Hotel was nestled in their iconic yet tumultuous phase, shortly after the release of their seminal album, 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'. This live recording at the Black Cat in Washington, DC captures the band's frenetic energy and experimental spirit, particularly amidst technical difficulties throughout the set. It's fascinating because not only was 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' gaining cult status, but the band was also experimenting with songs that would resonate deeply in the indie music scene. Though they played through the challenges, including a rare, improvised tune, the performance showcases their raw, unfiltered essence, something fans cherish. This concert embodies that delicate mix of brilliance and chaos, highlighting why Neutral Milk Hotel remains a beacon of the '90s indie revival.
