Spoon Performs TV Set (The Cramps Cover) Live at Fox Theater, Oakland
In the live recording of 'TV Set,' a cover of The Cramps, Spoon was riding high after releasing their critically acclaimed album, 'They Want My Soul,' just about a year prior. This album marked a significant moment in their career as it found them embracing a more polished sound while still retaining their distinctive indie rock roots. The compilation of infectious hooks and artfully crafted tracks set the stage for their energetic live performances. Interestingly, during the Oakland show at the majestic Fox Theater on May 29, 2015, Britt Daniel humorously reflects on past performances, revealing a candid side of the band that fans adore. This performance showcased their ability to mix reverence for punk legends like The Cramps with their unique aesthetics, embodying a blend of nostalgia and forward momentum that defines much of Spoon's work.
