Fiona Apple

In October 2012, Fiona Apple was touring in support of her critically acclaimed album, "The Idler Wheel..." which had dropped just a few months earlier in June. This album marked Apple's return to the spotlight after a long hiatus since her previous album, "Extraordinary Machine" in 2005. Known for her intense lyricism and unique vocal style, she was in a renaissance phase, reconnecting with fans and showcasing her emotional depth through intimate performances. The live recording from the Palace Theatre in Albany captures a moment when Apple's raw vulnerability shone through, especially pertinent after overcoming personal challenges leading up to this album's release. Interestingly, this live performance was part of a brief but impactful tour, reminding fans why she remains such a soulful and enigmatic figure in music.
