MGMT

In August 2011, MGMT performed at the Pozo Saloon during a pivotal time in their career. Just before this live recording, the band released their self-titled album, featuring a shift in sound that moved away from the catchy melodies of their debut, 'Oracular Spectacular.' This live show captures the band at a unique juncture, showcasing tracks that were evolving in both complexity and style. Interestingly, 'Time to Pretend,' one of their most iconic tracks, takes on a different energy in this setting—audience engagement plays a huge role, making it a memorable experience for fans. Plus, the performance at a laid-back venue like Pozo Saloon adds a special intimacy that isn't always present in larger concerts. The atmosphere here contrasts sharply with their earlier more bombastic stage shows, showing a more reflective and experimental side of MGMT.
