Yeah Yeah Yeahs Live Performance of Maps in Manchester

Venue: Rolling Stone Location: Milan, Lombardy, Italy Date: May 31, 2006

At the time of the live recording of "Maps" on May 31, 2006, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were riding high on the success of their album "Show Your Bones," which had been released just a couple of months earlier in March 2006. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing a more melodic and introspective side compared to their earlier, more raucous work. Interestingly, "Maps" became a standout track, known for its emotional weight and raw vulnerability, often resonating deeply with fans. The performance in Milan exemplified their ability to transform intimate moments into sweeping, anthemic experiences, capturing the hearts of both new listeners and longtime supporters. This moment also reflected a pivotal point in their journey, solidifying the band's status as innovators in the indie rock scene.
