The War on Drugs

On March 28, 2014, The War on Drugs delivered a mesmerizing live rendition of "Eyes to the Wind" at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle, showcasing their signature sound that blends rock and heartland vibes. At this point in their career, they had just released their critically acclaimed album, "Lost in the Dream," in March 2014, which was a defining moment for the band, presenting a more polished sound while still maintaining their raw emotional edge. This was a crucial time; the album had gained traction with both fans and critics alike, often praised for its evocative storytelling and expansive instrumentation.
