Grizzly Bear

On September 30, 2012, Grizzly Bear delivered an unforgettable live performance at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, showcasing tracks from their critically acclaimed album, 'Shields', which had just been released a year earlier. 'Shields' marked a significant evolution in their sound, combining intricate harmonies with a more polished production, and resonated deeply with fans and critics alike. Interesting tidbit: during this period, the band was known for crafting immersive live experiences, with their atmospheric soundscapes making even the air feel electric. This concert featured the hauntingly beautiful 'Adelma' and the driving energy of 'Sleeping Ute', both proving the band's ability to blend emotional depth with technical prowess. Their collaboration with Lower Dens as an opener demonstrated their growth and established them as a formidable force in the indie music scene.
