In January 2000, Doves performed a live set that saw them on the cusp of breakout success, capitalizing on the momentum from their debut album, "Lost Souls," released in 2000. This album, which featured a blend of atmospheric rock and electronic influences, marked the beginning of their career and was well-received, establishing them as a significant force in the British music scene. By the time of this live recording, Doves had already garnered critical acclaim, notably for their singles "Catch the Sun" and "Sea Song," which showcased their signature sound characterized by heartfelt melodies and rich instrumentation. An interesting fact about Doves during this period is that they were previously known as Sub Sub, a name under which they achieved moderate success in the early '90s before rebranding themselves and evolving their musical style. This live performance captures a pivotal moment as they transitioned into a leading band of the new millennium.
