Neutral Milk Hotel

On April 18, 1998, Neutral Milk Hotel delivered an unforgettable performance of 'The King of Carrot Flowers Pts 2-3' at the Terrastock festival in San Francisco. By this time, the band had already released their critically acclaimed album 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' just months earlier in February 1998. This album, with its haunting melodies and rich, surreal lyrics, propelled the band to cult status, marking a peak in their creative career. Interesting to note, the album was inspired by the story of Anne Frank, intertwining personal and historical narratives, which added depth to their live performances. This festival appearance was part of a broader tour that showcased their unique sound, blending indie rock with psych folk elements, and solidified their legacy in the music scene.
