Portugal. The Man

In March 2009, Portugal. The Man was riding high on the momentum of their earlier album 'Church Mouth,' released in 2007. This live performance of 'Lay Me Back Down' at the Fox Theatre in Boulder captures the raw energy and experimental sound that defined the band's early work. Interesting tidbit: the band often brought a unique blend of genres to their shows, mixing elements of rock, psychedelia, and folk – something their fans really vibed with. By the time of this recording, they were steadily gaining a strong following, laying the groundwork for the massive hit of their future albums like 'Evil Friends' in 2013, which would take their sound to even greater heights. So, this live show is a glimpse into a pivotal moment when they were truly blossoming.
