The Hives

By July 2017, The Hives were firing on all cylinders with their album 'The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons' released just prior to their electrifying performance at Lollapalooza Paris. This live recording showcases their vibrant energy and knack for infectious punk rock, echoing the spirit of their earlier work while ushering in a fresh sound. One fascinating tidbit about the band is their flair for engaging the crowd; frontman Pelle Almqvist often connects dynamically with fans, and this performance is no exception. It’s almost as if you can feel the crowd's exhilaration through the screen, all while the band serves up that signature blend of garage rock and pure charisma. As they belt out 'Hate To Say I Told You So', you can’t help but be reminded of their rise to fame in the early 2000s, making this live rendition a must-watch for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
