The Strokes

At the time of their electrifying performance of 'Vision of Division' at T in the Park in 2006, The Strokes were riding high on the wave of success from their third album, 'First Impressions of Earth,' which had been released just six months earlier. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, experimenting with different styles while maintaining the catchy hooks that fans loved. Interestingly, this live show captured the band at a pivotal moment, as they were transitioning from their early garage rock roots to a more polished, mainstream sound. It was a defining performance, showcasing their resilience amidst mixed reviews of their new direction and reinforcing their status as a powerful live act. Fans could feel the energy in the air, witnessing a band evolving but still deeply connected to their raw origins—a balancing act that few bands manage to pull off.
