The Strokes Live at The Cosmopolitan Performing 'You Only Live Once', 'Heart in a Cage', 'Someday', and 'Hard to Explain'
On August 20, 2014, The Strokes delivered an electrifying performance at The Chelsea in Las Vegas, showcasing their distinct sound. At this point in their career, they had recently released their fifth studio album, 'Comedown Machine,' which arrived in March 2013. This album marked a bit of a shift, featuring more experimental sounds and retaining their signature vibe. Interestingly, it was the first album they released without their long-time label, RCA, which gave them a newfound creative freedom. During the concert, they played crowd favorites from earlier works, like 'You Only Live Once' and 'Someday,' demonstrating their knack for blending newer tracks with classic hits. The energetic atmosphere and nostalgia of the performance remind fans why The Strokes have maintained a cult status in the rock scene.
