The War on Drugs

In the summer of 2015, The War on Drugs delivered a remarkable live performance of "Burning" at the iconic Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago. This show came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Lost in the Dream," which debuted in March 2014. By 2015, the band was riding a wave of success, having solidified their reputation for blending rock and Americana with rich, atmospheric sounds. The live recording encapsulates the band’s emotive prowess, showcasing Adam Granduciel's distinctive vocal style and the band's layered instrumentation. Interesting tidbit: this performance marked a peak moment in their career, as they not only attracted a growing fanbase but also set the stage for their future work, ultimately paving the way for their 2017 album, "A Deeper Understanding." It's fascinating how much energy and connection can resonate during a live show, isn't it?
