The Strokes

In August 2014, The Strokes delivered a high-energy performance at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, fueling excitement as they showcased tracks amid their 'Comedown Machine' era. Released in March 2013, this was their fifth studio album, which found the band experimenting with new sounds and lyrical themes, steering slightly away from the raw garage rock of their early days. Interestingly, 'Comedown Machine' was recorded during a period where the band was exploring their individual musical identities, giving the album a unique flavor. The live recording captures the essence of their evolution as they embrace a polished yet authentic vibe. Fans got to hear 'Barely Legal' and 'Welcome to Japan,' among others, which reflect their signature blend of catchy hooks and observational wit. It's a reminder of how they continued to resonate with audiences, maintaining their status as one of the defining bands of their generation.
