On June 10, 2005, Spoon delivered a captivating live performance at The Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, OH. This concert came just after the release of their acclaimed album "Gimme Fiction," which dropped a month earlier, showcasing the band’s signature blend of indie rock and art pop that had begun to resonate widely with audiences. During this era, Spoon was on the rise, honing their live sound and energizing fans with tracks like "The Beast and Dragon, Adored," which opened the show. An interesting tidbit about this recording is that it captures the band during a pivotal moment when they were solidifying their reputation for electrifying live performances—something that has since become a hallmark of their career. Their ability to translate studio refinement into exciting live energy was a crucial factor in their growing success.
