Portugal the Man Live Performance of 'And I' at El Rey Theater
Venue: El Rey Theatre
Location: Los Angeles, California, United States
Date: October 30, 2010
In the live recording from October 30, 2010, at the El Rey Theatre, Portugal. The Man had just released their album "The Satanic Satanist" earlier that summer. This album marked a significant point in their career, as it blended elements of rock, pop, and psychedelia, showcasing their evolving sound. Interestingly, this was a period when the band began gaining more widespread recognition, partly due to this album's success. The track "And I" embodies their unique style, with evocative lyrics and an infectious melody that speaks to their artistry. What’s fascinating is that the band was still in the early stages of their ascent, crafting a niche and steadily building a loyal fanbase while performing in venues like El Rey.
