MGMT

In June 2010, MGMT was riding high on the success of their debut album, 'Oracular Spectacular,' which had been released in 2007. This live recording showcases their unique blend of psychedelia and synth-pop, with popular tracks like 'Time to Pretend' and 'Weekend Wars' that had permeated the airwaves. Interestingly, the album garnered a Grammy nomination despite having a very unconventional sound for mainstream music. At this point in their career, MGMT was really cementing their reputation as innovators, though they were also beginning to wrestle with the pressures of fame. This live performance captures not only their musical prowess but also their experimentation with sound and style, two elements that would shape their future works.
