The War on Drugs

On July 21, 2018, The War on Drugs delivered an electrifying performance of 'Red Eyes' at Union Park in Chicago. This live recording came shortly after the release of their stellar album, 'A Deeper Understanding,' which had debuted the previous year, cementing the band’s status in the indie rock scene. The album, which won a Grammy for Best Rock Album, encapsulated the band’s signature blend of dreamy melodies and reverb-laden guitars. During this period, the band's sound had evolved into a lush, expansive style that resonated deeply with audiences, evident in the emotional delivery of their live performances. Fans often note how passionately Adam Granduciel interacts with the crowd, adding a layer of intimacy to what might otherwise be a vast open-air concert. This connection, paired with their evocative soundscape, makes for a truly captivating experience that remains a high point in their artistic journey.
