Modest Mouse Live Performance of The View from Into the Great Wide Open Festival
On September 5, 2010, Modest Mouse delivered an electrifying performance of "The View" at the Into the Great Wide Open Festival in the picturesque setting of Vlieland, Netherlands. This live recording came just a year after their fifth studio album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," which had launched to significant acclaim in 2007, showcasing their unique blend of indie rock and thought-provoking lyrics. By this point in their career, the band had solidified their reputation, thanks in part to hits like "Float On" and had garnered a devoted fanbase. Interestingly, the festival appearance highlighted their eclectic sound during a period where they were experimenting with new musical directions. The energy of that performance resonated deeply with the audience, proving that even after years in the industry, Modest Mouse still had that raw, infectious passion on stage.
