Third Eye Blind

On November 25, 1999, Third Eye Blind performed "Never Let You Go" during the Lions and Bears Halftime Show, just two days after the release of their second studio album, *Blue*. This album marked a significant moment in the band's career as they sought to follow up the massive success of their self-titled debut album, which featured hits like "Semi-Charmed Life" and "Jumper." *Blue* contained popular tracks, including the song performed in the halftime show, and showcased the band's continued evolution in sound and songwriting. Notably, the performance appears to feature some playback elements, highlighting the energetic atmosphere of a live event while ensuring vocal clarity—a consideration often made for televised performances. This period was crucial for Third Eye Blind as they solidified their place in 90s alternative rock, balancing the pressures of success and the creative demands of their growing audience.
