Neutral Milk Hotel

On April 24, 1998, Neutral Milk Hotel performed at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis, showcasing their avant-garde folk sound during a key moment in their trajectory. This performance took place just a few months after the release of their iconic album, *In the Aeroplane Over the Sea*, which came out in February of that year. This album catapulted them into the indie music spotlight with its poetic lyrics and lo-fi aesthetic, and it has since been hailed as a cornerstone of indie rock. Interestingly, during this live recording, they played 'All the Colors of the Rainbow,' which reflects the serendipitous and experimental spirit of the band—capturing the essence of their unique artistry. The somewhat rocky start of the performance hints at their improvisational style, emphasizing a blend of raw emotion and spontaneity that fans have come to adore.
