Spoon

At the time of their Lollapalooza performance on August 7, 2010, Spoon was riding high on the critical success of their album "Transference," released earlier that year. This album showcased the band's signature blend of indie rock and meticulously crafted pop sensibility, highlighted by tracks like "Written in Reverse" and, of course, "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb." The live recording reflects a band at a creative peak, threading together intense energy with their characteristic wit. Interestingly, this performance solidified Spoon's reputation for engaging live shows, which is key to their identity. It's worth noting that they were also gaining traction in the mainstream, proving that the band had the chops not just in the studio but also on stage, creating an electrifying atmosphere amidst the festival's vibrant setting.
