Yeah Yeah Yeahs Perform Maps Live in Oakland at Fox Theater
In October 2017, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed live at the Fox Theater in Oakland, captivating the crowd with their heartfelt rendition of "Maps." At this point in their career, they were basking in the legacy of their acclaimed album "It's Blitz!" which was released back in 2009. This era marked a pivotal shift for the band, blending their signature rock sound with electronic elements and dance influences. The raw emotion of Karen O's performance during "Maps" is particularly striking, a song that has become synonymous with the band's identity. It's interesting to note that while their studio activity had slowed post-2013, their live shows during this period demonstrated the band's enduring connection to their fans and their powerful stage presence. As Karen O hinted at during the concert, the energy in the room was electric, reminding everyone of the band's influence and the depth of their discography.
