Neutral Milk Hotel
Neutral Milk Hotel Live Performance of Through My Tears at Broad River Outpost
On September 14, 1997, Neutral Milk Hotel performed live at the Broad River Outpost in Danielsville, GA, during a pivotal time in their career. Just a year earlier, they had released their critically acclaimed album 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea,' which has gone on to become a landmark in indie music history. This album, with its surreal lyrics and eclectic instrumentation, captivated audiences and showcased frontman Jeff Mangum's unique storytelling ability. The live performance captures the raw emotion and fervent energy of their music, making it a treasured artifact for fans. Interestingly, 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' was inspired by the story of Anne Frank, adding an additional layer of depth to their already complex sound. This period marked the height of their creative output, before the band would later retreat from the public eye for several years.
