Bright Eyes

In January 2002, when Bright Eyes performed "You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will." live, they were riding a wave of critical acclaim following the release of "Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground." This album, released just months earlier in 2002, marked a pivotal moment in Conor Oberst's career, illustrating his growth as a songwriter and artist. Interestingly, this live performance captures the raw energy and emotional intensity that fans have come to love. Oberst's distinctive voice and confessional lyrics resonate deeply, reflecting a blend of vulnerability and bravado. By this time, Bright Eyes was carving out a unique niche in the indie music scene, often noted for its intelligent lyrics and eclectic soundscapes. This recording not only showcases their evocative live presence but also hints at the burgeoning superstardom that awaited them in the years to come.
