Bright Eyes

On September 11, 2011, Bright Eyes took the stage at the House of Blues in Orlando, delivering an electrifying performance that fans still talk about. This live recording falls neatly into an invigorating period for the band, as they had recently released their much-anticipated album *The People's Key* earlier that same year. This album marked a significant departure from their previous work, leaning into electronic elements and inviting new narratives that explored themes of life, death, and existential musings. It’s interesting to note that *The People's Key* was the band's first full-length release in nearly four years, which saw them eagerly re-emerge after a brief hiatus. The atmospheric yet intimate setting of the House of Blues served as the perfect backdrop for Conor Oberst's introspective lyrics, making the performance all the more poignant against the emotional weight of that particular day in history.
