Spoon - The Beast and Dragon Adored Live at The Greek, Berkeley

Venue: MacEwan Hall, University of Calgary Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Date: August 31, 2017

In August 2017, Spoon was riding high off their critically acclaimed album 'Hot Thoughts,' which had dropped just a few months earlier in March. This album showcased their unmistakable sound, blending indie rock with art pop elements, marked by catchy hooks and introspective lyrics. During this period, Spoon continued to solidify their reputation for energetic live performances, and the recording at MacEwan Hall shows just that. Interestingly, 'The Beast and Dragon Adored,' a fan favorite, features on their earlier album 'Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga,' released in 2007. The energy in the live version captures the evolution of their music over a decade, reflecting a matured sound without losing that fresh spontaneity. It’s a testament to how Spoon has continuously reinvented themselves while keeping the core of their artistry intact.
