Modest Mouse

In June 2008, Modest Mouse graced the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, showcasing their unique sound during a performance of "Education." At this point in their career, the band had just released their critically acclaimed album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," which came out in 2007 and marked a significant peak in their popularity. This album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, driven by hits like "Dashboard" and "Float On." It was a period of intense creativity, as they were gaining mainstream recognition while still retaining their quirky, indie essence. The live recording captures not just the energy of the crowd in that stunning venue, but also the artistic growth of Modest Mouse, symbolizing their ability to connect deeply with fans while still pushing the boundaries of their sound.
