Cage the Elephant - Live Performance in Camden, NJ (Short Version)

Location: Camden, NJ, United States Date: August 21, 2019

In August 2019, when Cage the Elephant performed live in Camden, New Jersey, they were in the midst of promoting their fifth studio album, "Social Cues," which had been released earlier that year on April 19, 2019. This album marked a significant point in their career as it showcased a more introspective and mature sound, heavily influenced by frontman Matt Shultz's personal experiences, including the death of his close friend. The live recording captures the band's energetic performance style, which has been a hallmark of their shows since their formation. Notably, "Social Cues" received critical acclaim, and the song "Ready to Let Go" became a popular single, solidifying Cage the Elephant's place in the alternative rock scene. The band had previously won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2017 for "Tell Me I’m Pretty," further establishing their status in the music industry.
