The Strokes

By March 2002, The Strokes were riding high on the success of their debut album 'Is This It,' which had been released a mere seven months earlier, in July 2001. Their captivating sound and unparalleled energy slotted them swiftly into the indie rock spotlight, and the live recording at Columbiahalle in Berlin beautifully encapsulates this exhilarating period. The band was known for their raw, edgy style—both musically and visually—and such live performances were instrumental in cementing their reputation. Fun fact: the album was a critical darling, often hailed as one of the greatest albums of the 2000s, which means this concert was part of a whirlwind tour that saw them perform in some unforgettable settings, connecting with fans who were just as eager for a revival in rock music.
