The Strokes Live Performance of I Can't Win at Lollapalooza 2010
In August 2010, when The Strokes took the stage at Lollapalooza, they were riding the wave of their fourth studio album, 'Angles,' which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was their first after a five-year hiatus, stirring excitement among fans eager for their signature sound. It's interesting to note that 'Angles' showcased a shift in their musical approach, incorporating more diverse influences and a bit of experimentation. During this performance of 'I Can't Win,' a standout track from the album, the audience could feel the energy of a band returning to the limelight after grappling with internal tensions and the challenges of the music industry. The Chicago crowd was treated to a mix of nostalgia and fresh vibes, perfectly capturing where The Strokes were at that pivotal point in their two-decade journey.
