Portugal. The Man

In 2017, Portugal. The Man was riding a wave of success following the release of their album 'Woodstock,' which dropped just a few months earlier in June. This album, notably featuring the Billboard Hot 100 hit 'Feel It Still,' marked a significant moment in their career, bringing them mainstream recognition at last. The live performance at the iconic Le Bataclan in Paris showcased their vibrant energy, melding a Metallica cover of 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' with their own fan favorite 'Purple Yellow Red And Blue.' What’s especially interesting is how the band, founded in Alaska, managed to weave in such eclectic influences and maintain an innovative spirit throughout their journey. This performance in a venue known for its rich musical history further emphasized their evolving artistry and the celebratory nature of their live shows, making it a memorable moment for both the band and the audience alike.
