Yeah Yeah Yeahs

In April 2009, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were riding high on the success of their album "It's Blitz!", which had been released just a week prior to this live recording. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, diving deeper into electronic elements while still showcasing their signature rock edge. During the performance in Milan, they delivered an acoustic rendition of "Maps," a fan-favorite known for its poignant lyrics and emotional depth. The choice to perform this song in an acoustic format highlights the band's versatility and ability to connect with their audience on a more intimate level. Interestingly, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have always had a flair for theatricality in their live shows, making this stripped-down version a refreshing contrast to their usual high-energy performances.
