The Beta Band

On November 7, 2004, The Beta Band performed at the Move Festival held at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester. At this point in their career, the band was promoting their album "Heroes to Zeros," which had been released earlier that year in March. "Heroes to Zeros" marked a shift in their sound towards a more polished production style, reflecting their evolution as artists. Notably, this performance took place during a transitional phase for the band, as they were experiencing commercial success but were also facing internal challenges that would eventually lead to their breakup in 2004. The festival setting provided an opportunity for the band to showcase their eclectic mix of genres, including elements of rock, electronic, and folk, which had defined their earlier work. This live recording captures the vibrant energy of their performances, illustrating why they were regarded as a compelling live act during this era.
