Placebo

On June 7, 2003, Placebo performed at Rock am Ring, a significant event in their career that showcased their growing popularity in the early 2000s. This live recording features the song "Without You I'm Nothing," which is the title track from their critically acclaimed 1998 album. By this time, Placebo had already released their self-titled debut album and their follow-ups, "Without You I'm Nothing," and "Black Market Music" (published in 2003). The band's performance at Rock am Ring highlighted their distinctive sound, blending alternative rock with glam influences, and captured their energetic stage presence. Notably, this era marked a time when Placebo was gaining a loyal fanbase in Europe and beyond, often noted for their theatrical live shows and introspective lyrics. Their appearance at such a prominent festival reflected their status as a defining band of the alternative rock scene during this period.
