Neutral Milk Hotel

On April 23, 1997, Neutral Milk Hotel performed at Tokyo Rose in Charlottesville, VA, right at the cusp of their rise to iconic status. This live recording came shortly after the release of their influential album, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," which had premiered earlier that same year. This album would later be hailed as a cornerstone of indie rock, weaving intricate storytelling and emotional depth that resonated with fans. Interestingly, this live show marked the beginning of their US tour alongside Olivia Tremor Control, amplifying their exposure and solidifying their place in the indie music scene. The energy of the performance reflects the raw passion and eclectic sound that would define their legacy - it’s no wonder that many still cherish these early days of their career.
