Fiona Apple

In July 2012, Fiona Apple performed at the Fox Theater in Oakland, delivering a live rendition of "It's Only Make Believe," a cover of the Conway Twitty classic. This performance came right after the release of her critically acclaimed album "The Idler Wheel..." which had debuted just a couple of months prior, in June 2012. This album marked a significant return for Apple after a seven-year hiatus since her last studio effort, "Extraordinary Machine." Fans were eager to see her back on stage, where her unique blend of poignant lyrics and emotional delivery shone through. It was a moment that captured her resilience as an artist, showing her evolution while still holding true to her raw, introspective style that resonated deeply with audiences. Apple’s artistry, characterized by her profound storytelling and powerful vocals, is palpable in this live recording, making it a standout performance.
