Grizzly Bear

On November 5, 2012, Grizzly Bear performed live at the iconic Paradiso in Amsterdam, just after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'Shields,' which dropped in September of the same year. This marked a significant moment in their career, as 'Shields' showcased a more mature sound, weaving complex harmonies with rich instrumentation. Fans were treated to live renditions of tracks that reflected the band's evolution, maintaining their indie-folk roots while pushing the envelope into experimental territory. Interestingly, the album's lead single, 'Sleeping Ute,' illustrated this transition beautifully and was a crowd favorite during the concert. Building on their reputation for atmospheric and intricate live shows, this performance captured the energy and ambition that defined Grizzly Bear's artistry during that era.
