In June 2019, when Cage the Elephant performed at Rock Am Ring, they were in the midst of promoting their fifth studio album, "Social Cues," which had been released just a couple of months earlier in April 2019. This album marks a significant moment in their career, as it delves into themes of heartbreak and loss, largely influenced by the passing of the band's longtime friend and collaborator, producer Jay Joyce. The live recording captures the band's dynamic and energetic performance style, showcasing tracks like "Ready To Let Go" and "Social Cues," both of which reflect the emotional depth of the album. Notably, Cage the Elephant has a reputation for high-energy shows, often blurring the lines between genres and engaging their audience, which is evident in this performance at the iconic Nürburgring venue.
