In June 2008, Rilo Kiley delivered a memorable performance of "With Arms Outstretched" at Bonnaroo, a festival known for its eclectic lineup and vibrant atmosphere. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album "Under the Blacklight," which showcased a shift toward a more polished sound with influences of pop and rock mingling beautifully. Interesting tidbits include the fact that "With Arms Outstretched" had been a staple of their set, serving as a poignant anthem of yearning and reflection. During this period, the band's dynamic was palpable; while they were enjoying commercial success, they were also navigating the complexities of their evolving artistic identity.
