Yeah Yeah Yeahs Live Performance of Shake It at Cardiff Barfly

Venue: Metro Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States Date: April 30, 2003

In this live performance from April 30, 2003, at the Metro in Chicago, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs showcased their raw energy shortly after the release of their debut album, 'Fever to Tell,' which came out just a year earlier. This recording encapsulates the band at a pivotal point, as they were rising stars in the New York rock scene, known for their electrifying sound and frontwoman Karen O's magnetic stage presence. The album featuring hits like 'Maps' and 'Date with the Night' established them as a force in the early 2000s indie music landscape. Interestingly, this performance highlights their infectious energy and the deep connection they had with their fans even in those early days, which was critical to solidifying their reputation. The raw, gritty vibe of the recording perfectly reflects their dynamic artistic ethos during a formative period in their career.
