In October 2009, when Dr. Dog performed "Army of Ancients" live at The Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia, they were riding high on the buzz from their album *Fate*, which had dropped just earlier that same year. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing their signature blend of indie rock, folk, and psychedelic vibes, which really resonated with their growing fan base. What's fascinating to note is how *Fate* was seen as a turning point, allowing them to transition from relative obscurity to a more prominent place in the indie music scene. The live recording captures the raw energy and charm of their performance, showcasing not just their musical prowess but also a deep connection with the audience. This performance was part of a bustling tour, helping solidify their reputation as a must-see live act—a feat that continues to define Dr. Dog today. How incredible is it to think that this very performance helped shape their legacy?
