MGMT - Entrance Performance at Summerfest Concert
In June 2013, MGMT was basking in the afterglow of their self-titled album, which had just been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant shift in their sound, steering away from the catchy pop vibe of their debut 'Oracular Spectacular' and the more psychedelic tones of 'Congratulations.' The live recording from Summerfest showcases MGMT during this transitional phase, where they were experimenting with their style and actively engaging with their evolving fanbase. Interestingly, this performance came just as the band was grappling with the expectations following their earlier hits like "Kids" and "Electric Feel." Fans at the concert were treated to a blend of new material infused with MGMT's signature eclectic flair, demonstrating their willingness to break away from commercial expectations, a bold move that sparked both excitement and debates among listeners.
