The Walkmen

On October 16, 2011, The Walkmen delivered a compelling live performance of 'Blue As Your Blood' at Pier A Park in Hoboken, New Jersey. This moment came shortly after the release of their album 'Lisbon', which had premiered a year earlier in 2010. 'Lisbon' showcased the band's evolution; it was a more subdued and atmospheric sound compared to their earlier, more frenetic works. The Walkmen were known for their intense live presence, and this performance was no exception. The mood in the air was electric as they played in an outdoor setting, with the backdrop of the New York skyline adding a magical touch. Interestingly, the song 'Blue As Your Blood' reflects that signature amalgamation of nostalgia, heartbreak, and poise that has defined The Walkmen's music throughout their career. This live recording not only captured their unique sound but also the very essence of a band in the midst of a strong artistic phase.
